Intermediate Piano Readers who want to improve their literacy
If you've been playing for a while now, you're likely noticing the bottleneck of sheet music. While others will tell you to play "another way", I'm here to tell you that the only way out is through. Don't worry - that journey is full of amazing and beautiful things to learn, create, and explore.
Long-time players who want more from their online music making
If you've learned through lessons in the past, you'll notice a stark difference in most online piano approaches - they never talk about sheet music. Your lessons were likely much different. Piano Reading Select will feel like a familiar approach, with the advantage of on-demand video demonstrations and all the benefits of a catalogue of beautiful music specifically selected for developing piano proficiency.
Meet Your Teacher
Randy Peck is a pianist, teacher, and songwriter. He has taught professionally for over 17 years and has a passion for lifting the lid on the learning process and exposing the flaws of old-method axioms. His approach to "Creative Literacy" is centered on the belief that music literacy is always an advantage. Sheet music is not just useful - it is a launching pad for progress, fun, and creativity at the piano.
With the aid of sheet music.
As a late-beginner or intermediate pianists, you have recognized your need to be creative and you’d love to be …
More confident at the piano
More expressive with balance and dynamics
More proficient with sheet music
More capable of improvising or playing by ear
More in control and More FREE
Stand Out! Play Real Music
The truth is that most pianists with those skills developed them in private lessons with a proficient teacher.
What happens in a piano lesson?
Honestly, the majority of the time is spent refining and polishing “repertoire”.
Pieces of music specifically written for piano.
What happens through that deep study is a holistic growth of all the elements that make a musician - ear development, technique, literacy, expression, memory, performance …
No shortcuts are needed when the journey is the fun part.
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.
It’s a little insulting to be promised musical instructions and to be handed a cowbell.
The emphasis in Piano Reading SELECT is to demonstrate the principles and mechanics of playing piano in the context of music that best showcases those mechanics.
That makes practicing interesting, expressive, creative, AND effective.
Ultra-rare principles-based approach to learning piano ...
In Piano Reading SELECT, we apply the principles of literacy instead of just showing you the keys to play.
Demonstration, modeling, and reflection of what skills are needed and how they are physically done on the piano, connecting technique, literacy, and repertoire into a single framework.
Competency + Creativity = Literacy
It is a simple concept, but one that isn’t explicitly taught very often. What to do with your eyes - how to LOOK at the sheet music for better comprehension.
People that 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 small 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. In Piano Reading Select, you'll learn your musical strength and how to put it to work in your own playing.
