1. What exactly is "Rhythm Piano"? Answer: "Rhythm Piano" is the way the piano is played when you're singing a song. It's not a self contained solo piano piece, but rather the way people play when they accompany themselves singing. 2. Do you need to learn "regular Piano" before you start "rhythm piano"? Answer: No. In fact it's better to start on rhythm first, similar to the way guitar is approached. This course is for the total beginner, or for the reading piano player who wants to learn to play by ear, or for someone who plays another instrument who wants to add piano as a second instrument. 3. Do I have to learn to read music? Answer: No. Learning to read is great, but quite time consuming & tedious. This series does not teach sight reading. This is the easiest way to learn piano, because it's designed with the concept that a human can only truly think of one thing at a time. Thinking about reading & playing at the same time is confusing. 4. Will it hurt me if I want to learn to read later? Answer: Absolutely not. This video series is musically correct according to college music theory. It simply allows you to concentrate on developing the ability to play first. You can take up reading anytime you choose. 5. Will I regret not learning to read standard music notation? Answer: No. Most piano & keyboard players in the popular or "informal" styles of music, don't read, or even know how to read. 6. Is it good for keyboard as well as piano too? Answer: Yes, absolutely. The notes are the same & the music comes out the same. This instructional series is perfect for today's electronic keyboards. In fact, this video is taught on an electronic keyboard & occasionally uses the "organ" mode to illustrate some of the points. 7. Is it ok for kids? Answer: Yes! It is designed for all ages!

5 out of 5 stars An excellent beginning.......2006-06-29

I would definitely recommend this DVD to beginning keyboard players. In about 50 minutes, it shows you how to play and accompany yourself simply with a few basic chords. Dan Huckabee takes the new player through his paces one step at a time, making it easy and fun. He does stress that you will need to practice what he has shown you in this first hour. He bypasses the whole note reading thing in this DVD because it is not really necessary. He really strips away the complexities and shows the new player how to do it simply, and why. This is by no means the full regalia of rhythm piano, but it is what it says it is: Beginning Rhythm Piano, Volume 1. Volume 2 will present more tricks, but this definitely covers the basics.

1 out of 5 stars Dull and useless.......2006-02-26

This was a total disappointment. I was looking for a basic instructional video for my son - simple pointers on hand position, review of the keyboard, etc... The video jumps right into watching the host sing and play a few chords.

5 out of 5 stars Beginning Rhythm Piano.......2005-12-22

This CD is everything it says - it is for beginners. If you have no knowledge of music or the piano, this DVD will serve you well. For those who have a basic knowledge of chords and chord progressions, save your money.
