What it is

Pianoforall is described as an online piano course designed to take complete beginners to an intermediate level. The vendor states it has helped over 500,000 students worldwide. The course is delivered via interactive ebooks that can be accessed on PC, Mac, Android, iOS, tablets, and phones. The vendor says the materials do not require an internet connection to use.

What the vendor says it includes

The vendor says the course uses a "multi-layered approach" combining written instruction, keyboard diagrams, musical notation, video, and audio tutorials. The teaching method emphasizes learning to play by ear first, using a "Visual Association" technique, before introducing sheet music reading. The curriculum covers several styles, including:

Rhythm style piano, featuring 15 popular rhythms.
Ballad style.
Blues and Rock ‘n’ Roll rhythms.
Jazz piano, including runs, riffs, and scales.
Classical pieces by composers such as Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Strauss, and Brahms.
Improvisation and melody creation.

The vendor says the course teaches chord inversions, advanced chords, and scales. It also includes practice progressions and memory tricks. The vendor claims the course is suitable for those who cannot play, those who want to improve, those who play other instruments, and those who can read sheet music but cannot play by ear. The vendor also mentions that the curriculum can be used by people who want to earn a living teaching others.
