			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/rocket-piano/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-9" style="margin: 5px;" title="Rocket Piano Course" src="http://www.learntoplaypiano.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rocketpiano-box-260x300.jpg" alt="Rocket Piano Course" width="260" height="300" /></a>The Rocket Piano course is a series of eBooks, games, and mp3 audio files. The ebooks that come with this course cover a very wide range of piano lessons. They eBooks offer instruction for beginners, intermediate and advanced players. Other topics covered are music notation, finger techniques and exercises and lessons on how to play gospel and jazz music.</p>
<p>Many of the lessons included audio recording but no video. The videos that are included with the course are not songs. They are mostly a view from over the shoulders of a player showing a certain technique.</p>
<p>The games are a really neat part of this course they cover sight-reading, pitch recognition and chord identification.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Rocket Piano does offer e-mail support and their response was very quick and helpful when I sent them an e-mail.</strong></span></h3>
<p>Even though Rocket Piano offers some really great piano lesson materials the product does not have the ability to track your progress and obviously can&#8217;t give a student feedback on their playing.</p>
<h3><strong>In the end when considering this course is very inexpensive ($39.95) I think it&#8217;s a great value for the money.</strong></h3>
<p>If you can afford it then the hard copy version of the course is probably more practical. It is quite a bit more expensive at $199.95 but does offer a much more convenient way of learning the course and of course you never have to worry about transferring files and all that stuff when you change your computer or even worse worry about losing the course completely should your computer die on you before you have a chance to transfer the files. As I said it is more expensive but still very reasonable compared to the expense of live private piano lessons.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #0000ff;">Rocket Piano also offer some pretty good bonuses!</span></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Having looked over all the piano courses online I can honestly say that none of them go into reading music in as much detail as I would like.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>I love to equate being able to read music as being back in High School and I think this really drives the point home.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span><br />
Physics, Chemistry, Languages, Mathematics &#8211; </strong><em>All pretty tough subjects to learn.</em> You have to work at it to get good results yes?<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span><br />
OK THEN &#8211; Now imagine yourself back in High School and going into the first class<strong> and YOU CAN&#8217;T READ!</strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></p>
<h2>CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW HARD THAT WOULD BE?<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></h2>
<p>If you like let&#8217;s not be so extreme &#8211; Let&#8217;s just say you&#8217;re a little slower than the others in your class at reading.. Do you think you&#8217;d have managed to keep up? &#8211; <strong>Don&#8217;t think so!</strong></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">I know there are some musicians out there who can play<br />
pretty well and can&#8217;t read music <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>but believe me:</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span></h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">THEY ARE DOING IT THE HARD WAY!<strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span><br />
</strong></h2>
<p><strong>So.. </strong>Let me teach you how to read music FOR FREE! This will be a fantastic addon to whatever piano course you&#8217;re going to take up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ffffff;">space</span><br />
The course will be delivered in weekly videos and is explained in such a way as a seven year old could easily understand it &#8211; probably even younger!</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">*BONUS*</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>My special training tool will guarantee you&#8217;ll soon be reading music like a PRO &#8211; (if you use it..)</strong></p>
