Yes, You Can Learn From a Piano DVD

By Michael Mickey Charles

Some of us are looking for a way to introduce piano into our lives but are not quite ready to begin the process of hiring an instructor. Other, more advanced pianists are looking to explore new types of music. A piano DVD may be the perfect solution for the new piano player or a more experienced pianist that may want to add a new type of music to their repertoire. The following are three of the most popular piano DVD choices and what they have to offer.

10 Easy Lessons! Piano Beginner Book, CD and DVD set hosted by Gary Turner.

An easy to follow and user friendly introduction to chord and melody playing, this is best for children under 5 who have just begun piano playing. It contains lessons with favorite childhood songs which makes it more fun for young music students. A colorful paperback story book comes with the DVD and CD and this will encourage student participation. Parents can even include the piano lessons in story time and as bedtime music.

Dr. Johns - Piano Bundle Pack: Dr. John Teaches New Orleans Piano - Volume 1

This DVD pack is geared more towards the experienced piano player and offers the more advanced musician to explore the unique and soulful world of New Orleans blues and boogie. The sessions of this piano DVD feel personal and intimate as the student follows as Dr. John, one of the Big Easys greatest talents, guides them through developing their own personal style. This DVD will surely help the blossoming blues artist master his or her own licks, rhythms, turnarounds and runs and is packed full of awe-inspiring piano playing. This DVD set has become world renown and received this review from Time Magazine "Just sit back and watch Dr. John work his way through the likes of "C.C. Rider" and Pine Top Boogie" you will have got a graduate degree in soul."

A Lesson with Steve Allen: An Introduction to Jazz Piano

Most people remember Steve Allen as a comedian or even the original host of The Tonight Show, yet his capacities as an accomplished jazz pianist are probably the most inspiring. In this piano DVD he shows the beginner jazz pianist how to add personal style to simpler jazz pieces. These are intense step by strep lessons that teach specific skills like fake runs, octave vibrato and trills.The learner is also shown how to develop arrangements and play basic blues like strides, walking basses and the use of the 10ths. - 18780
