Play Piano Tonight - A Review
of Ron Worthy's Updated Piano Program
Product Overview
Play piano tonight is another thorough teaching product from
“Mr. Ron” Worthy, a veteran musician and trainer. This program can work
for just about anyone who has a desire to learn to play piano. You can
use an electronic keyboard with built-in rhythm effects or any piano.
What’s Included in Play Piano TonightThe product centers
around a multimedia eBook, which features all the lesson materials,
piano theory, exercises, and chord training. Lessons begin with the
all-important chords – major, minor and dominant sevenths.
Worthy utilizes lead sheets, the type of musical notation used by
stage professionals, to teach you how to play actual songs. Many of the
lessons are accompanied by helpful video clips. This is truly an
ingenious system and could very well shape the way other
professionals train musicians.
Will you be playing in one
night? Sure! You may not be a Liberace or Elton John, but with practice,
who knows?
Worthy throws in bonuses such as free digital
music, one page of copyrighted digital sheet music, free music lessons,
manuscript paper, an online music dictionary, and a Karaoke Piano
program. The latter can really come in handy. This Karaoke piano is
an on-screen keyboard that can show the actual keys being played in a
song – without someone’s hands being in the way.

Stand-Out FeaturesAs I mentioned earlier, I
really appreciate the lead sheets and video demonstrations. If a
musician can learn to play from lead sheets, he or she can often join in
with an improvisational group or any other ensemble that utilizes them.
Additionally, Mr. Ron makes himself personally available to students to
get them through the difficult times. Access to a trainer is rare, and
that alone is worth the price of admission.ConsIf you don’t
like learning from computer-based courses, this one isn’t for you.
RecommendationWhere other products teach with long-winded verbiage
and slow-to-obtain results,
Play
Piano Tonight is designed to accelerate the process. I’m a fan of
cutting through the rhetoric and unnecessary exercises to reach my goal.
If you’re like me, then this
may be the product for you.
