FREE GIVEAWAY FOR CHORD PIANO IS FUN!

Thanks for coming to my blog site! And because you are here, I am offering a GIVEAWAY CONTEST for a free copy of my book, CHORD PIANO IS FUN!

CHORD PIANO IS FUN is the perfect book for the person who has played piano in the past, but wonders, "What have I done with my piano?"  (And this doesn't mean that it's hiding somewhere.)  Maybe you walk by your piano every day and wish that you could remember something that you learned when you took piano lessons all those years ago.

OR, this book is for the current piano student who wants to learn how to play popular music, learn to play by ear, or learn to write music.  It also teaches you how to play the blues!

OR, this book is for the piano teacher who is looking for JUST the right book to teach your students how to play chord piano and learn to read lead sheets or chord charts.

If you are any of the ABOVE, then this book is for you!

Here are a few reviews:  

I have to tell you that I have only made it through three lessons so far and I already feel so successful! This is fantastic!

"Chord Piano is Fun" really is fun. I took piano lessons when I was a teenager, and again when I was in my forties, (I am now in my eighties) but I am so poorly coordinated I could never get two hands together. Both times I gave up before I really learned to play anything. Now I do a mean rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In", and other recognizable pieces. This is something I can do so I am grateful for this book and wanted everyone to know!

Don’t you just love it when someone else does all the hard work and puts together a systematic approach to teaching something that is just the way you would do it? Honestly, it’s pretty rare to find something that’s a perfect fit, but T.K. Goforth has done just that with her book, Chord Piano Is Fun!  Read more...

"Chord Piano is Fun!” is the perfect resource for those that long to play piano but can’t seem to make sense of all those black dots on the page....This book is very well put together and the kind of resource that I wish existed when I first desired to play piano in my teens....Read More

Let's try this again...thanks for doing this, would love my kids to be able to try it out!

Janet said...

Our sweet Anna Pearl took only 4 months of piano lessons, but learned enough (in HER mind) to be able to 'figure out' some of her favorite songs. She's a gifted singer & is self taught on guitar. Her Dad and I are hopeful to get your book in her hands to help her along:)
Knowing YOU, and your success rate & reputation, if we DON'T win a copy, we'll just have to buy one~and WILL, with pleasure!!
Wish us luck!

Unknown said...

You are so funny and a joy to follow. I hope I win this contest. I want to play the pIano again.

Kelly said...

What a great way to find out about your book. I will pass the word to friends who are interested in learning this technique. Sounds more fun than the traditional way to learn piano.

Unknown said...

Do you think it would help me teach improv to my sax students?

Great post and great contest! I'm looking forward to seeing who will win. Sadly, I've never taken piano classes before, so I don't think this book is for me, but I do have friends who play a bit, so I'll be recommending your book to them.
