Reading Left Hand Notes,
No Mas!
Have you ever dreamed of being able to play the piano? Do you want to be the life
of the party? Do you want to have a girl to like you? Be proficient enough to play a Love song for her! Do you feel you are too old, too late in life to learn how to play the piano or keyboard?
What does it take? Years of learning! You need to learn to both play the melody on your right hand as well as on your left hand. What does it take? Years of learning, practice and memorization, pages and pages just for one melody
Anyway, is there an easier way? I want to teach you how, the easy, quick way!
Have you seen Jazz pianists playing a melody on a single sheet of paper called ‘Lead Sheet’. Just single notes for the melody (played on the right hand) plus chords strategically placed on various parts of the song. No left hand notes to worry about! You see the pianist doing all sorts of things with both hands playing (equivalent to what a full orchestra or a band is doing for a song). Just one page or less that will be equivalent to several pages done in a traditional way containing the melody, decorations on the right hand plus accompanying rhythm for the left hand.
I offer a way to do this. Learn to instantaneously play chords, spreading it to the melody played with your right hand simultaneously creating a rhythm on you left hand, again based on that chord you are currently playing. KISS => Keep it SIMPLE!!! But not stupid just plain SMART! You can condense years of learning to just a few weeks or even months if you want to be good at playing the shorter easier way!
You never have to get to be stuck with your piano teacher. Learn the alphabet (26 letters vs. 7 letters for the piano: A, B, C, D E, F, G), learn words, create sentences, paragraphs. Then you will be confident to make speeches and/or create novels on your own. Same concept, I would like to teach you on the piano!

Additional Info:
GOALS:- Learn how to read the melody (right hand). See Free Lesson #1 below.
- Learn how to play chords instantaneously without the need to memorize hundreds of chords.
- Learn how chords are constructed so even if you see it the first time, you will be able to play it.
- Learn to spread the chord on both melody (right hand) and rhythm (left hand).
- Learn to recognize Ascending and Descending walking Base lines.
- Learn to be confident to play a melody your own way based on the Music tools you will learn thru my method. You are the creator, the painter. Put in as much musical color without being tied down to a traditional music played just one way, the composer or arranger’s way.
THE CONCEPT:
No need to read left hand notes, just the right hand melody and chords. Instill learning hundreds of chords the easy way without any memorization. Learn the secret code for a chord and use it to play any other Chord on that group (C => C#, Cb, D, D#, Db, E, E#, Eb, F, F#, Fb, G, G#, Gb, A, A#, Ab, B, B#, Bb for a total of 21 Chords per Chord Type).
Teach anyone how to play the piano the easy, quick way. Learn to play the piano in a few weeks. No need to memorize hundreds of chords. Similar scenario of learning the alphabet, making words and sentences to create paragraphs. Just need to play the basic melody (lead sheet), spread the current chord on both hands. There you go!
Method:
- Instill learning hundreds of chords the easy way without any memorization required just by using secret chord formulas. Learn to analyze how chords are created going thru the 7 Levels (A, B, C, D, E, F, G). plus “Circle of Fifths” strategy of how chords are sequenced. Learn the basic tools and quickly play a melody (maybe a song you like).
-EZ way to learn melodies by the Beatles, Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Barbra Streisand, Carly Simon, Peter Paul & Mary, American Standards, Children Songs, Kundiman (Filipino Standards), Love Songs,
- selected Classical melodies in EZ Lead Sheet format (ex. Für Elise). Imagine playing Classical music without reading the left hand notes!
- A song per week to master and maybe more if you pick up the method right away.
- Can teach online. We will find a way to do this! How about using mac’s FACETIME and or MagicJack (PLUS). I will send the student the currrent piece to be played as an attachment thru email. Feedback again is via sending attachments back and forth.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
* Been Playing Harmony Piano since 1965 using Lead Sheets. No need to read left hand notes, just the right hand melody and chords.
