Welcome to Your Piano Journey ( 81 page digital download file-pdf)
If you're holding this book in your hands, congratulations—you’re taking a meaningful step into the world of music. Whether you're brand new to the piano or returning after years away, this method was created with you in mind.
As a piano educator with over 30 years of experience, I've had the honor of guiding thousands of students—many of them adults just like you. I've seen the joy that comes from mastering your first song, the confidence that builds with every practice session, and the lifelong benefits of having music in your life.
Let me be honest: learning to play the piano and read music is no easy feat. That’s why this book focuses on one of the most important keys to success—getting the reps in. If you want to become a confident music reader—someone who can sit down with a piece of sheet music and actually play it—you need regular, focused practice with the right building blocks.
Many method books pile on too much, too fast. They expect you to read, count, move your hands, and play fluidly—all at once. But most adult learners can’t multitask like that (and honestly, most people can’t!). That’s why I’ve designed over 110 carefully crafted exercises to develop your skills one layer at a time.
This isn’t about becoming the fastest or flashiest player. Instead, this 75-page first edition is about doing things the right way—step by step, with structure, intention, and care. It's part of a thoughtfully designed curriculum built from decades of teaching adults and observing what truly works.
Each activity is meant to help with real-world challenges: rhythm, coordination, note reading, hand independence, and more. You’ll also find music theory (in small, practical doses), chord basics, and bonus exercises—all intentionally structured to prepare you for the Song Vault, where you’ll apply your skills to fun, rewarding pieces.
This method book is in alignment with my full Piano Foundations Course. While it absolutely stands on its own, you’ll get the best results when you use it alongside the course. Together, they provide a balanced, encouraging, and realistic path to musical growth—whether you're playing for joy, stress relief, personal growth, or all of the above.
So go at your own pace. Reread chapters. Try different tempos. Celebrate your small wins. And most importantly—enjoy the journey. You’re not just learning piano… you’re building something lasting and meaningful.
If you’d like, I can also give you a polished “back cover” blurb version of this so you have both a warm intro and a marketing-friendly summary for the book. That way it serves two purposes. Would you like me to make that?
