Your child’s music teacher may not want you to read this, but adults can learn to play the piano after just a few hours of instruction. I know this for a fact, because I’m the person who invented the One Day Instant Piano Workshop in 1982, and have been turning regular people into piano players ever since.

And I can do it for you, too if you’re interested.

Perhaps you’ve had piano lessons in the past. I had them too as a child, and they didn’t work for me either. Piano kids, after they grow up, end up with two major regrets:

I know, these two regrets contradict each other, but they help prove a point. In spite of every one’s best intentions, childhood music lessons don’t seem to stick.

OK, it’s time to stop beating yourself up about the past. That’s all about to change, and I mean change for the better. The truth is: even if your mom made you practice three hours a day, and you studied piano for five years, there’s every chance you still wouldn’t be playing today.

Why is that? It’s because of the way piano is typically taught. Most piano teachers seem to want to teach you to be a SERIOUS piano player. You know, sit up straight, bend your arms just so, curve your fingers just so, and for heaven’s sake, don’t ever look at your hands.

Fun, huh? This is what we still teach our kids. There’s a term for it. Child abuse. OK, I’m exaggerating a little, but kids don’t know any better. So they practice and study and do recitals until they finally wear the parents down. And then it’s...

Independence Day. No more lessons.
And later...a lifetime of regret.

I’ve been there myself. Lots of lessons. I still can’t read music that fast. But it turns out that’s okay, because years later, when in my twenties, I came upon the real secret of playing the piano.

The secret got me playing almost instantly, without reading sheet music. Within a couple of years I was playing the piano professionally. Now I play piano for hours and hours and hours at a time. Only a musician knows how much fun that can be. You think the piano is fun? Maybe not the way you learned it back in grammar school. But it sure is fun now. You wanna join in?

So what’s the secret?

The fact is, there are two ways to learn to play music. You can learn to sight read it, or you can learn to fake it. Me, I’m a faker. I discovered that if you learn to fake it, you can skip the tedious and oh so lengthy process of learning to READ music, and still play anything you want. Well, almost anything you want. This system still doesn’t work for playing classical music.

But it works for everything else. (In fact, it’s possible even to fake classical music, but I don’t want to go there right now.)

So professional and serious musicians learn to READ music, and amateurs learn to FAKE it, right?

No. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here’s the truth.

Classical musicians (professional and amateur) read music.

Pop musicians (professional and amateur) fake it.

So what exactly is “pop music?” It’s every kind of music except classical. This includes standards, rock, country, gospel, blues, latin, jazz...everything else.

I’ve played professionally for years without reading notation. Remember, I’m real slow at reading. I know some great players (much better than me) who cannot read a single note of music notation. Some of these players actually make a living at it and are highly respected.

Think about it. How often do you see a professional piano player sight reading music? They might be staring at something written on paper. But chances are they’re reading fake music — not standard music notation.

So what does that mean to you?

It means that in order to learn to play piano, you don’t need to take three or four years to learn to read notation. Instead you can take 30 minutes to learn to read just enough to get by. You could do that in an evening and still have time to take the dog for a long walk.

So what about the rest of the process?

That’s exactly what we’re leading up to. What if you could learn to play any song, any style, any key in less than four hours? And that’s with both hands, by the way. What if there were an absolute, ironclad, put-my-reputation-on-the-line guarantee you would learn to play any song, any style, any key in less than four hours?

And how is this done? I mean it’s crazy right? There’s got to be a catch. What I’m suggesting here flies in the face of every common wisdom about playing the piano. What’s the deal?

PLEASE KEEP READING...

Okay, I know there are a lot of sites on the Internet that promise to teach you to play the piano. I don’t know any thing about them. Some are probably good, and some are probably not so good. But here’s one thing I do know.

No one else out there can make the following claim: I, Robert Laughlin, have successfully taught 35,272 people to play the piano since 1982. That’s not through books or videos or tapes or CD’s. Those 35, 272 students learned from me in a live, in person, face-to-face situation.

No one else can make that claim. If there were a Guinness Book of Records category for “teacher who taught the most people to play the piano,” I’m sure that would be me.

So, HOW did I reach so many people, and HOW do I know these people really learned anything? This brings us to the real meat and potatoes of this story.

Back in 1982 I combined two existing ideas into one, creating a true phenomenon. Prior to my creation, no one even thought those two existing ideas could coexist. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t even sure. But I did it, and the concept took fire and still shakes the music education world to this day.

Both were (and are) fairly common events, unto themselves. But combining them into a one day, complete piano course? Come on!

I started with one workshop at Chico State University in northern California. It worked. Student evaluations were off the charts. I was encouraged to schedule courses elsewhere.

Within 18 months I was teaching the seminar regularly in over 40 locations on the West Coast. Ultimately I branched out to even more College and University locations. I was encouraged by University Administrators to create even more workshops, to continue to feed the hunger there was for this kind of information. So I did.

And what was the secret to the success? If I told you, it wouldn’t be a secret. But I will tell you, because I don’t really have any secrets. And “not having any secrets” is one of my secrets.

Unlike 95% of piano teachers, I was a professional piano player. I did it for a living (such as it was). I played in bands on weekends, got solo gigs on week nights, did a little teaching, and made my living playing music. All without ever reading notes.

You see, I learned to play the way pros do — by hearing instead of reading, by using lead sheets instead of sheet music, by playing instead of practicing. How did I learn? Once upon a time I had a mentor who played professionally. I studied with him for a year, and then went totally off on my own.

I recommend getting a mentor. It’s a great way to learn to play.

But it would be difficult for you to get a mentor. Why? Well, a lot of pianists who play well have a hard time explaining what it is they do. And others just don’t want you to know the secrets. Why not? Maybe they don’t want you to know JUST HOW EASY IT CAN BE.

Professional piano players have kind of an unspoken brotherhood. They’re like magicians, whose livelihood revolves around fooling people. Magicians NEVER SHOW YOU HOW THE TRICKS ARE DONE.

Professional piano players NEVER SHOW YOU HOW THE TRICKS ARE DONE either.

But I do.

If you could attend my seminar, you would learn these secrets. I still present seminars from time to time. You’re welcome to attend. I’d love to have you. But I give them so infrequently now that it’s not likely you would be able to attend without traveling great distances.

It’s true you may not be able to attend one of these seminars in person. But now there is a clear alternative.

For the first time in nearly a quarter century, the famous “Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy People” seminar comes to you. We have captured on DVD the essence of the entire workshop, taken by all those thousands of people.

You can learn all the secrets from the comfort of your own living room, at a very reasonable cost, and at your convenience. It’s like having a TIVO for a seminar experience.

You really need to see this in action to believe it. And by the way, if you haven’t signed up for our newsletter yet, please do so now. Do it right now, and we will send you a link for a FIVE MINUTE JUMP START video that you can see right now on your computer screen. This will give you an idea how easy this system is.

Go ahead and do it, and see what I mean. And don’t worry, I will not give your e-mail information out to another soul.

PLEASE KEEP READING...

I promise you, this DVD program is the only thing you need to get you started playing the piano. It’s convenient, it’s affordable, it’s fun, it works. Remember the promise — in less than four hours you will be able to sit at a piano (or keyboard) and play:

• any song
• any style (but classical)
• any key
• both hands

Or your money back. I don’t care if you’ve never played anything but the radio. I don’t care if you have two left ears. This will work.

But what if you already play a little? Even better. You’ll learn even faster. I’ve had students take my class who have advanced degrees in piano performance. They learned just as much as the beginners, because what I teach, you won’t find in traditional programs.

So what’s under the hood of this method, anyway. Okay, it’s a chord program. That’s what it shares with all the other EZ piano methods out there. But that’s where the similarity ends. Face it. Compared with traditional piano studies, the chord method IS easy.

Most chord methods take you to a level of basic competence. But then they just leave you there. Sure it’s pretty easy to play songs this way. But after awhile you start to notice something. You start to notice that every single song you play sounds a little bit like “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Sure. You’re playing songs. But it’s BORING.

We show you the basics too. But then we go way beyond that. Because in addition to learning how to play any song, any style, any key, you will also be privileged to learn the exact secrets, tricks, techniques, strategies, and magic that professional piano players use to create interesting music.

Hidden Secrets Revealed

Here’s where we go way beyond the run-of-the-mill piano methods. I’m a professional piano player. I know all the tricks in the book for bringing out those special sounds on the piano. Not only do I know them, I’m willing to teach them, and I know how to teach them.

Most methods just teach you the basics. Good information, perhaps, but no pizzazz. I will show you several ways you can put pizzazz into your playing, whether you are a piano veteran or a rank beginner.

OK. So what do I get with this program, and how much is it going to set me back?

If you were to take one of my workshops, it could cost you as much as $45. In addition, you would be required to purchase my book and CD for an additional $30. That’s as much as $75 to take the course.

However, your price for the Internet DVD version of the workshop is only $37. And this isn’t just some cheap Internet download, either. We will mail you:

We will also throw in a special preparatory pamphlet titled How to Read Music Notation in 30 Minutes in case you need to brush up on your note reading basics.

You really can’t go wrong with this. Keep the program for 30 days, and if you don’t start seeing and hearing results, you can send the whole program back for a prompt and cheerful refund. You can’t do any better than that.
