Here is another great way to learn piano, with Pianoforall.

Would you like to just sit down at a piano and just play music you like such as Pop, Blues, Jazz, Ragtime, Ballads, even Classical pieces? Well you can and you can do it in months not years and without having to spend lots of money, time and effort on traditional Piano Lessons.

The Pianoforall Process is simple..

You start with Popular Chord based Rhythm Style Piano (think of artists like Elton John, Billy Joel, Lennon & McCartney, Barry Mannilow, Lionel Ritchie, Coldplay, Norah Jones and so on) which is EASY but sounds amazingly like the ‘real thing’. This enables you to achieve a professional sound almost immediately. Once you are sounding great and having a whole lot of fun (which motivates you to learn more) you then expand step-by-step on your chord and rhythm knowledge into Blues, Ballad style, Jazz, Ragtime, Improvisation and yes.. even Sight Reading Classical music

What is the difference between a Music Tie and a Slur?

The curved line connecting the heads of two notes of the same pitch is called a tie and indicates that the two notes must be played as a single note with the same duration as the sum of the individual notes.

The following illustrates a tie

You might tie two notes which could be written with a single note value, such as a quarter note tied to an eighth note (the same length as a dotted quarter). One example of when you would use a tie is because a barline is in between the notes.

A tie is similar in appearance to a slur.

A slur in piano music is two or more notes played together, one right after the other, in a smooth fashion. A slur marking, indicated by a curved line that begins at the first note of the slur and ends at the last
