So thoughtfully explained. Very clear parts (fingering). Great videos showing clear hand technique and pedal etc. So much work has gone into this course. And such beautiful performances of the pieces, a real pleasure to aspire to.

Jonathan Morris

This is teaching at its BEST. The instructor goes step by step, giving clear instructions, and giving various tools to help you play and memorize the pieces. Thank you!

Silvia Hammond

It was a good experience. First time in my life I can learn and complete a piece of music using the piano. Thank you Robin. This has inspired me to continue to learn more. I thought it is impossible for me but with your structured programme and well paced instructions, it has helped me to journey through this and learn an interesting piece.

Koh Tat Suan

The resource pages are amazing!!! Definitely does great job at breaking information down into multiple concepts/pathways to learning & memorizing/reading notes while getting some real progress learning beautiful pieces (not stuck doing Mary had a little lamb!!!).

Alyson

The best tutorial, overall comprehensive, user-friendly, and not an intimidating MUSIC TEACHER. Thanks, Rob!

Noel Emmanuel Cornelio

Love this course! Inspired to play again after a “little” break of 60 years. Breaking the piece into sections and identifying the memorable elements of each section makes it easier to memorize and adds tremendously to the pleasure of playing. Warmest thanks for this wonderful method.

Bibi Blue

Fabulous course. I am a 60 year old frustrated piano player and this course is giving me great satisfaction. Can’t wait to complete it and I’m nearly done. I would recommend this to anyone

Dave Nicholls

Absolutely the best breakdown of how to play piano I could imagine. The instructor is clearly talented as a teacher and knows how to teach piano in a way that is easy to take in bite sized pieces so you will not feel overwhelmed.

Kim Vergottini

Excellent! Very easy to follow. After that course, I learned enough to take on my own some other pieces. I bought all your courses. Please!!!! Do course for Clear de lune

Vesna Kotnik

Very clear and easy to follow. Delivered slowly enough for me to "compute" think about what is being said and to touch the notes on my own piano. Very calm.

Deirdre Fee

Outstanding, intelligent strategies, brilliant techniques, user-friendly and above all, “playfully fun” = innovative. One of the best teachers. So grateful for Robin Hall.

Noel Cornelio

The course was fantastic! I was amazed at how many different materials provided and approaches provided to learning this piece. Not simply the sheet music, but cheat sheets and other tools to help me learn the piece. I have successfully memorized and completed the piece in around 2 weeks.

Matt Beech

I played the guitar for about 20 years and learned parts of about 25 songs... However, I never COMPLETELY learned a whole song! In 4 months, being a BRAND NEW PIANO PLAYER with no note reading capability, I've memorized both pieces by EAR! It's blown me away! The key is I ENJOYED listening to the piece as I played. I still don't read music and would like to... but, it's not fun for me to read music at this stage. I'm thrilled with my ability to play these two preludes. I have the original course that I did not use but will go back and pick it up then move on to Satre's and the Moonlight Sonata. Keep up this great work! Magnificent and I would recommend it 10,000%!

Ray Faulkenberry

I absolutely loved both Classics By Ear courses (Satie and Bach). Robin has a wonderful way of teaching, by breaking down the structure of each piece into smaller manageable bits that clarify the patterns and the changes. The way he teaches also makes it easier to memorise pieces, as I always want to be able to play them without needing to rely on my notes. His accent is a treat too. :-) Robin, I hope you will create more of these courses - maybe some Chopin? or Beethoven?

Regine Lord

The instructor makes so easy to play and remember the notes. You just have to put in the time to practice. This course is packed with useful information for how to go from sheet music to playing the prelude.

Ali Ammari

Very engaging and motivating, inspirational and encouraging. Robin's tuition - as with his broader course PIANO FOR ALL (which I also own and have gained much from) - is again superb! Quite simply piano tuition worth its weight in gold, but very modestly priced - a massive "bang for your buck"! Buy it and try it for yourself and you won't be disappointed, I promise you; indeed you'll be chomping at the bit to have a go and progress to the next level of your musical journey, discovery, and competence. Thanks, Robin, keep up the good work - and keep bringing us more superb piano/music lessons in the near future, sir! :-)

Chris Harvey

I have struggled with the Prelude for months and so I took advantage of this course. After a week, I could play the piece really well. Robin is an amazing teacher, and I highly recommend this course. Robin - please create more lessons!!

Monica Weggeman

Don't hesitate to buy this course its absolutely brilliant. Robin is a great teacher and very thorough. I am a novice player and it has taken me just over a week to learn this piece - so far I am stoked to see how quick this was to learn.

Dean Oleary

Finished the Prelude in C major. Could not be more pleased with this course. If you love the piano and are just beginning your journey, please try it. You will not be disappointed.

Clyde Fisher

For someone who tried to learn piano as a child, this class has been a breath of fresh air, as well as a confidence booster. I already had a basic understanding of reading music and playing but had not tried to play the piano for decades. The step-by-step structure of this class and viewing each step as a pattern of notes/finger movements was brilliant for me. Then, the addition of a final lesson that brought expression into the piece rounded out my experience perfectly. I so enjoyed this class! I would love to see more piano classes like this from Robin that focus on learning individual compositions. Maybe some Vivaldi or The Beatles? :) Thank you for a great class!

Tracey D

Instructor makes things easy to understand. And it’s broken down into reasonably lengthed segments.

Karen Bicsak

You have made this so easy to play with the wonderful visuals and Instructions which I printed out to have at hand. At 74 years of age, I finally found a beautiful tune to be able to play because of you're program. Brilliant. I'm almost up to the speed that you play at till working on that and the various volumes required to make this piece sound properly. I have purchased you"re other programs so I have much to do and much to look forward to. Fills my early mornings, my late nights. Robin, You have some very powerful and Brilliant teaching power. Thank You, Ginter

Ginter Schatz

This course helped me get started with playing the piece straight away. I don't have experience playing the piano or reading the sheet music, I only tried a few times with very modest results. This time it's different. All the information and the commentary is really helpful; looking at the way chord progression is structured from so many angles helps to memorise it quickly. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Fedor Isakov

Robin Hall does a excellent job with all of the courses he offers! I’ve learned so much from him and I love his approach to teaching! Thanks so much Robin!

Gordon Oliver

This is definitely a great match for me. I have been slowly working my way through Robin's basic piano course which in itself has been an amazing tool for me to learn piano. I can't wait to get into these two new courses. Thank you Robin for making these courses to user friendly. I sure appreciate your teaching style!

Janice Bell

Robin Hall's approach is brilliant - his starting point is how humans work (whereas most people's starting point is how *music* works) - and then draws on that understanding to design his lessons. As a beginner, I can't believe how quickly I've been able to learn piano with his method.

Elizabeth Dozois

Robin Hall is an excellent piano teacher and I definelety recommend that you buy all of his piano courses because you will see outstanding results with your piano playing.Because of his exellect teaching, I can now play bach in C minor and major perfectly by ear!I loved every minute of this course!

Anya Potgieter

Excellent breakdown technique. This was an excellent match for me. I tend to want to jump ahead before I have mastered a section completely. This kept me on track and I could go back and work on any section I needed too work on. I am 70 years old and memorization has become difficult but I was able to stay focused and work through each section at my own pace. I realize that this was not a complex piece but I will apply the technique to other songs. Thank you.

Cynthia P Jones

I can fully recommend this course as well as all other courses of the teacher. The video lessons as well as the downloadable materials are simply fantastic.

Daniel H.

This course is excellent! He is an excellent teacher on how a beginner can master piano -keyboard very quickly and easily!

Hugh wildish

Your methods are totally accessible. I couldn’t ask for more, as someone who wants to play, has minimal time to learn, but will put the time and effort in for the result of beautiful pieces like this and those of your Satie course. Thank you!

Justin Ruiz

Best music teacher I know. VERY VERY VERY GOOD support material! Best in class, on a scale of 10, he is getting at least 12

Michel Cloutier

I LEARNED MORE IN ONE HOUR THEN I DID IN ONE YEAR OF LESSONS. THANK YOU.

Don Wilson

Another awesome course from Robin. This is my third course from Robin on Piano. Loved the piano-for-all (still in progress) and the Erik Satie (finished 2 out of 3 pieces) and now this preludes from Bach enriching my musical journey. A very nicely and carefully created course content. To be honest, its little more than I required (as I've been consistently playing for over 10 months now) but I can understand a real beginner would need all the details/help which the instructor has covered in this course. This is hands-down the best classical piano course online. I'm done with prelude-Cmajor for now and can't wait for improve it before I jump into Cminor. Dear Robin, Thanks you sir... hope you keep on creating such courses covering classics.... and possibly some Chopin pieces (psst: Waltz in A minor).

Vikas Sharma

I’ve already learned using Robin’s First “Classics by Ear - Erik Satie” programme and cant fault his teaching style. Informative, simple and fun. Can’t wait for more!
