Member Benefit #1
Beginner and Intermediate
Starting, Restarting, & Reaching Out ...

Whether you are just starting, feeling “in-between,” or looking for the best online late-intermediate instruction, Measure by Measure has resources for you.
Member Benefit #2
The Measure by Measure Library
In-depth demonstrations for every measure of music. This is where we literally go “measure by measure” in the sheet music itself so you never need to feel lost, overwhelmed, or intimidated.
Download special sheet music optimized for the learning process. It’s bigger, clearer, and easier to read than most sheet music.
Download the notes from the videos as a way to practice each phrase, just like a real in-person piano lesson.

Creative Literacy
Reading is never a disadvantage
Being able to read music is great and all, but what about creativity?

Exciting, gentle prompts will keep your enthusiasm high and your practice anxiety low. Dive into each week’s prompt and watch how effortlessly new ideas and inspiration show up as you foster a great relationship with your instrument.
What Members Are Saying ...
“The biggest revelation was that I could start with real music that I wanted to play instead of starting with a method book that was designed for kids. The videos are fun to watch and I'm learning from a real teacher instead of just a bunch of random youtube videos. I highly recommend the program.”
- Kathy L.

“I find that it's like having a personal one-on-one lesson on specific pieces of music. Randy’s approach has helped me try music that I would not otherwise have tried, much less would I have found it on my own. His explanations for breaking a complex piece down are skills that I am carrying over to the other music that I have under study. It's all excellent!”
- Ken H.
Measure by Measure Member
“I've been playing piano for about 30 years, and other instruments before that, and have had numerous teachers, online and in person, in that time.
I was first taken by Randy's emphasis on music literacy, which is unique in my experience. His approach is fun, engaging, and original. I enjoy learning the pieces he presents - they are fun to play, and his videos always present ideas that are useful for pianists at any level. I can heartily recommend his program to any piano student, from beginners to more advanced students.”

Is Measure by Measure FOR YOU?
Please Check All The Statements Where The Answer Is YES!
If you checked ANY of the boxes above, then I want to invite you to join
this very unique piano program you won’t find anywhere else.
From the Piano of: Randy Peck
To: Creative Piano Readers (You)
How often have you heard a piano player, and you should have been enjoying their wonderful music, but instead you thought “I want that”?
Maybe there was a tinge of guilt or heartache that made you wish it was you creating instead of you listening.
You have a need to be unique, a need to be CREATIVE and you’d love to be …
More Confident at the Piano
More Literate and Able to Learn New Music
More Expressive And Proficient
More Capable of Improvising or Playing By Ear
More In Control and More Musically Free
You might be like the hundreds of people that have told me they wished they’d learned to play piano, or kept up piano lessons when they were younger.
Honestly, if I had a dollar for every time someone said “I wish my parents had never let me quit …”
As a busy piano teacher I always wanted to help them out, but my teaching studio was booked solid for years.
I knew the online space was where most people would go to get help, but I was disappointed in the approaches I saw there.
Online piano teachers don't focus on music literacy. They teach tips and tricks, which ultimately makes your chances of reading music worse! The gimmicks aren’t bad, but they’re incomplete.
People recognize what they leave out - it’s sheet music. So they often turn to books in an effort to learn to sight read. Piano method books feel childish, and they’re locked in to the misconception that learning happens in a straight line. But you need freedom to explore what interests you and to be creative while you learn.
So I decided to make courses of my own. I wasn’t quite sure what would happen but I was excited to try something new. I wanted to offer something that would promote music literacy.
And the response was huge!
Thousands of people bought my courses Piano Notes Bootcamp and Sight Reading Secrets.
I was actually kind of surprised! And I was extremely encouraged by those that finished the courses. They reached out to me with amazing feedback, expressing their “aha” moments and their new confidence as Piano Readers!
But here’s the thing …
A lot of people didn’t finish the courses. Some didn’t even start!
I recognized that there was more to do to help people succeed in this space.
I'm reminded of a joke ...
"Sometimes to save time I throw my avocados out at the grocery store."
-- Jim Gaffigan
You know that feeling of disappointment when something good goes to waste? Wasted time, wasted effort … wasted avocados? I’m not here to sell you a course just to see it get buried in your inbox somewhere only to be forgotten and discarded like over-ripe avocados.
No shortcuts are needed when the journey is the fun part ...
What people know deep down is that playing piano is a commitment. Any course that promises a shortcut is going to feel more like a bad haircut than a new outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks.
While others will show you some tricks on the keyboard, I'll demonstrate the principles and mechanics of playing piano over and over in context as we move through the music in Measure by Measure.
I tried all the different “methods” and the common old axioms around “learning to read music”. But two degrees in piano performance, the week-long seminars, certifications, pedagogy books, and even serving on the board of my local music teacher’s group didn’t teach me what I’ll share with you in Measure by Measure.
From countless hours observing exactly what people get hung up on, I developed an approach of teaching principles instead of notes.
When you understand principles, you can read anything. Most online courses teach you songs, which only serves you temporarily. It robs you of the reward of long-term success, proficiency, and ultimately confidence in your own skills.
Competency + Creativity = Literacy
People who read music are often doing it despite old "traditional method" teachings and axioms. They are exceptions to the rule and almost always show a unique independence and intuition. The “right” way turns out to be just an unhelpful and confusing distraction from the real principles of music literacy.
People who read well PLAY with their music. They improvise, they steal ideas, they feel the keyboard with more trust, and they see the big picture while simultaneously observing interesting details. In essence, they are creative with their learning.
And there isn’t one musical talent that sets them apart. Some are good at playing by ear. Some have excellent technique. Some are visual learners.
Stand Out! Play Real, Rare Music
There is one area of music that works really well for learning piano skills, but it often gets overlooked …
It is the mostly-forgotten music of the contemporaries of great composers.
Living in the shadows of Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin, were their contemporaries, and often their own students. But since they didn’t find the same kind of fame or reputability as the great composers, their livelihoods were often made from teaching.
Teaching piano back then was different. It wasn’t the “turn the page” method-book kind of piano lessons we see now. Instead, the teachers wrote their own music for their students. And a lot of that music survived and was published.
It is beautiful, interesting, high-level music. It sounds like Beethoven and Chopin and others.
And instead of being super long pieces that could take years to learn, they are 1 or 2 pages that you could learn in just a few practice sessions.
Composers like Thomas Attwood (who studied with Mozart!), Carl Reinecke (who studied with Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Liszt!), Alexander Gedike (Medtner’s cousin),, … and many many more!
This beautiful, accessible music can help you learn the same skills required for the masterpieces, but requires only a fraction of the time and effort.
So remember, it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an intermediate player …
If you are looking for MORE out of your piano playing, then practicing "Measure by Measure" is "the way".

My "Deep Vision" for Measure by Measure
I love this music and the principles of practice and I want you to experience that too!
Why I care about this anyway …
Piano has always been my safe “sandbox” of experimentation. It’s where I can play and experiment with no risk and no fear. But there’s a misconception about sheet music that I want to debunk - it’s that classical music is boring, or that sheet music is constricting.
Sheet music can be creative.
It can be experimental. It can spark improvisation. It has inspired my own creative songwriting and I believe it can do the same for you, no matter what genre or type of music you like.
Why Now?
If you want to successfully claim piano as YOUR thing, it has to become part of YOUR lifestyle.
I designed Measure by Measure knowing that we’re all doing it a little differently, showing up in our own ways.
