Udemy The Adult Piano Method Learn Piano from Scratch

Learn Piano. Properly. Without the Kid Stuff.

Have you always wanted to play the piano but never quite got around to it? Perhaps you had lessons years ago and would love to start again. Or maybe you've looked at piano courses before and found them too childish, too complicated or simply uninspiring.

Welcome to The Adult Piano Method, a complete beginner piano course created specifically for adults.

I'm Dale Forbes-Sutherland, a professional pianist, singer and experienced music teacher with more than 25 years of performing experience.

I've designed this course to make learning the piano enjoyable, achievable and genuinely rewarding. No nursery-rhyme approach, no unnecessary jargon and absolutely no previous musical experience required.

What will you learn?
Throughout nine carefully structured lessons, you'll discover how to:

Find your way around the piano keyboard.
Read musical notation and understand note values and rests.
Develop coordination between your left and right hands.
Understand rhythm, time signatures and musical expression.
Explore sharps, flats, key signatures and major and minor sounds.
Use the sustain pedal effectively.
Play a variety of musical pieces, from traditional melodies to original compositions.
Develop confident, independent practice habits.

What's included?
You'll have access to a collection of short, easy-to-follow teaching videos, alongside a comprehensive printable workbook containing explanations, exercises and music to practise.

Each new skill builds naturally on what you've already learned, so you can progress at a comfortable pace, revisiting any video whenever you need.

Who is this course for?
Adults who are complete beginners, returning learners who want to rebuild their confidence, and anyone who has always dreamed of sitting at a piano and making music.

All you need is access to a piano or keyboard, a willingness to practise and a little enthusiasm.

By the end of the course, you'll have developed a solid musical foundation and the confidence to continue your piano journey.

It's never too late to learn. Let's make some music!
