This course consists of 11 videos that will teach you how to play Beethoven's Fur Elise in its entirety. Fur Elise is a great song choice for beginners for the following reasons: The first movement is very easy to play. Even if you have never touched a piano before, you can learn the first movement of Fur Elise without too much difficulty. Even if you can only practice for a few minutes each day, you can learn the first movement of this song in just a few weeks. Despite being very basic, the first movement of Fur Elise sounds beautiful. I have never a met a person that does not like this song. The song progresses in difficulty naturally. As you go through the process of learning the three movements, you will progress very quickly from beginner to an intermediate piano player. This course is broken into 11 videos: 3 videos for the first movement, 4 videos for the second movement, and 4 videos for the third movement. Here are some of the reasons why you would want to choose this course over other courses that teach the same song: There are no prerequisites for this course. This course will teach you how to play Fur Elise even if you have NEVER touched a piano. The video is filmed from directly overhead, making it very easy to see exactly which notes need to be hit. The panning and zooming during the video make it very easy to follow exactly where your fingers need to be placed. The emphasis is on learning to play the song. You will not be overburdened with theory. Ideally, it's best if you learn the song on a piano, but a keyboard can also be used. The first 2 movements can be played with a small keyboard. the end of the third movement requires at least a 76 key keyboard (a piano has 88 keys). It will also sound best if you have a pedal. At the end of this course, you will be able to play Fur Elise in its entirety - all three movements. And with some practice, you will be able to play the song flawlessly.

VERY QUICKLY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY YOUR FIRST SONGS ON THE PIANO OR KEYBOARD At a very early stage, you will already apply what you’ve learned and start playing songs. First playing the melody with your right hand, later also adding your left hand. And what makes it a real pleasure to practice, is that you play a song together with a band that accompanies you while you are playing on your piano or electronic keyboard. This is what others say about the course: *** This piano course is extremely educational and highly entertaining as well. For beginners specially, Mr. Cohen didn't raise the bar of excellence, he is the bar simply put. His lectures will start you from know nothing into craving to learn more and highly addictive too. If you are searching over and over to find the right piano lesson for you, your search is over. You found the learning center. Cheers (Rolando Marucut) *** This is exactly the course I was looking for. I love piano music since I was a kid, however I never had the opportunity to learn. I am a total beginner, I love the way the teacher explains and shows the most important and key things in order to move forward in any lesson. My dream is closer. Thank you so much! (Daniel Madrid Sanchez) *** WOW! This is an amazing course. Thank you very much. Highly recommended. (Stefano Buiaroni) *** I really liked the way the course was created, with lots of songs, advices, quizzes. It was a challenge, but with perseverance and with a lot of exercises the results appeared. I think the most pleasant moments were when I played the songs from the course, but by far I think it was when I managed to control both hands independently. It was like a revelation. Now I have the needed tools: scales, chords, improvisation techniques, the rest depends on me, a lot of exercises. (Csizmadia Miklos) *** LEARN PIANO IN A FUN WAY, NOT BY ONLY ENDLESSLY RUNNING UP & DOWN THE SCALES In order to play the piano or keyboard well, you have to practice scales. But only endlessly going up & down the scales is not very fun way of learning the piano or keyboard, that’s why in this course you practice the scales in songs that contain just the notes of that particular scale. And of course, the band will accompany you in all the songs. This makes practicing the scales a pleasure! TRY THIS ONLINE PIANO COURSE WITHOUT ANY RISK.
