The Piano Encyclopedia Review: How to Play the Piano the Revolutionary Way
Want a cup of hot chocolate drink? But before we get into that, let us recall a bit of the greatest and most influential pianists we can so much be proud of; forefathers of today's well-known pianists - Mozart and Beethoven. We all know that Mozart was deaf but that was no obstacle to him and Beethoven took Classical Music to a whole different level. They simply saw the piano as an extension of their personality that every detail of its intricacies, they understood. Unlike most of us, it's just a humongous box with black and white keys and three pedals that somehow produce melodies. But this box made so much sense to them and with it, they created classical masterpieces. It's phenomenal nowadays that most of us are just not that talented any longer. As time progresses, some things just retrogresses. Seeing a bunch of keys put together is quite complicated already. Yet, sure enough, seeing somebody else play the piano, make us proud to think and wish ourselves we can play just as good or even better and this is a good start to learn piano. From our thoughts, comes that burning desire to actually learn it the art. Once we start playing the piano, we realize that it's quite an obstacle. At the same time, it's not discouraging because learning to play the piano is just like drinking some hot brewed chocolate drink. It tastes delightful yet at the same time, we don't get to feel the nectar and essence of its sweetness since it's scorching hot. So let me think again of giving you that cup of hot chocolate drink. I think and prefer that some brewed "then" cooled chocolate shake is much more delicious and essentially more mouth-watering than some dull and usual hot chocolate drink. A shake with a twist evidently lingers longer in your mouth and as a result, you get to feel the sweetness and essence of playing the piano. Imagine now. You can cut all the years that you are supposed to dedicate into learning the piano and the best part is, you become a better pianist. And now, that cool, mouth-watering chocolate drink is introduced by The Piano Encyclopedia: the world's first community established to teaching you the most revolutionary way playing the piano.
What it teaches is for you to play the piano with freedom and enables you to learn at your own pace without minimizing what you can learn. It helps you to understand "The Logic behind Music", our very own "Digital Home-Study Course". Unlike many other programs that teach you how to play the piano, The Piano Encyclopedia is way different. If you actually look into what other programs are teaching, it is simply teaching you to become a copycat. What was taught to you is exactly what you have to do in order to play the piano. Then, simply pulling those sheets off of your sight makes it already hard for you to play the piano. Unless you are a professional pianist who must have managed to make playing the piano a 20-year or so career of your life, then without those sheets of notes, you are a useless pianist. I mean to say that it is very usual to meet pianists that play very well and as always, lack of practice is very usual too; drastically, they start forgetting all the pieces and all work is lost and years of effort thrown away for rubbish. The Piano Encyclopedia wants to change that; The Piano Encyclopedia is no copy-me-do-monkey system. It's not merely a type of software or a set of lessons that are put together for you to learn. It's a whole different thing. The Piano Encyclopedia teaches you to become a pianist in the whole essence of the word. Now, when I refer to a pianist, I mean a Pianist who knows every detail about playing the piano, who knows how to modify melodies for the better, and who knows to create their own original music; not an interpreter type of pianist. Many piano-learning programs out there teach you to become an interpreter. All you can do after the long years of playing the piano is to interpret what you have learnt. Once you are given the piece, there are no other things that you can do apart from interpreting it for people to hear the Music You learnt. You are incapable of modifying what you learnt so that you can make such melody sound as unique as you, just Like You have a distinguished voice. I'm sure that there are no other programs out there that enable you to do this: to have your own voice while playing this heavenly instrument. Just like in writing, every author and great writer has his/her own voice in his/her style of writing. What The Piano Encyclopedia does is to awaken this uniqueness that has long been drowsing in your musical artistry, making it a part and extension of your personality as music became a part of Mozart's and Beethoven's lives. I mean, what is the difference between Mr. Pianist 1 playing "The Flight of the Bumblebee" and Mr. Pianist 2 playing the same piece? If I were to listen to what they were playing without actually seeing them, I would not actually recognize who was playing this extraordinary piece. I would only remember who composed the piece which was Nikolai Rimsky and remember all the other pastimes concomitant with the piece. Yes, I would be amazed at Mr. Pianist 1 and 2 for being able to play such a wonderful piece, but at the end of the day, I'm sure to forget them both. What The Piano Encyclopedia molds is Pianist 3, who plays the Flight of the Bumblebee in the same fashion and just as good as pianist 1 and 2. The biggest difference is Pianist 3 can even re-harmonize the whole piece, use new chords and give it his own flavor making it more soothing to the ears. He can make up his improvisation over it, and even make a composition of his own with a similar style. He basically understands the logic of the melody, the harmonic rhythm, and the chord progressions. Also by understanding those, he is even able to put his shoes in the person who composed the score he is playing and position himself in the composer's place in a more profound way. He is able to play the fly with more passion than Pianist 1 and 2 and he even has the option of playing the score as it is. Understanding it and modifying it at will is the key. Pianist 3 is the type of pianists The Piano Encyclopedia wants to form. The Piano Encyclopedia molds you to voice out your own character in the music you are creating. It helps you compose exactly what you have in your head, but you just couldn't because, in the first place, you were taught to copycat, interpret, and to monkey-do. All you have accomplished after all the lessons you have gone through is to be a broken record that plays what everyone else's plays. I'm not to say there is anything wrong with playing what is there already. The main point is for you to make that sheet of paper in front of you as useful as it can be, as remarkable to the people around you. The Piano Encyclopedia is a place where you can say, "I am proud of myself and the unique learning experience is just awesome." This is what The Piano Encyclopedia does to you. It's not just you becoming a part of a program- it's becoming part of a family where in your influences are heard; your voice stands out, and your experience is hear of.
The Piano Encyclopedia even has 3000 interactive multimedia and once you become a member, you are given access to our online forums, social networking, upload videos, share progress with other members, to ask questions, and just completely interact with the family that is established for you to experience "The Logic behind Music."
