    Love the Piano Lessons Steve Nixon, I’ve searched and searched for lessons all over the internet and these are the best I have found. We desperately need a piano player at our church and I can’t afford lessons so i’ve looked everywhere to try and learn so i could play for the church. I hope to comment at a later time with a fantastic testimony to just how good this program is. Thanks so much Steve

    Hi Steve,

    I just wanted to give you a shout-out and let you know its so so great that you are posting these wonderful instructions. I have recently begun giving piano lessons myself, and think its so important for people who cannot afford lessons or do not have the time to find an instructor to have a way to learn. I’m sure we both know how music can improve lives and help people with self confidence and expressions. So hat off to you. Thanks again.

    Wow, a really detailed lesson on how to find chords. I doubt, after your lessons, that a student would struggle to find and learn chords. Kudos for being thorough.
