Learn Piano by
Playing Familiar Songs

Using my simple, proven program called Technique Through Music, developed and perfected over 40+ years of teaching, you learn piano by playing melodies, not drills, so that repertoire is being developed at the same time as technique. The results are immediate: Right away, you will be playing real music! The songs will be familiar, so you will know how it should sound. Instead of playing repetitive scales and drills over and over, you will learn simple songs that include the technique in question. This is the method. The means is through Pattern Memory.

About Helena Sandler

In my 40+ years of teaching piano, I have helped hundreds of students express themselves musically by playing the piano. I am an accomplished professional pianist, accompanist, music publisher, and music teacher. I have taught piano privately and at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and developed this method over many years of teaching. I believe music enriches our lives, and everyone can enjoy playing the piano regardless of their "musical ability." Since I can't teach everyone in person, I have self-published these piano lesson books and tape which I compiled, edited, arranged, composed, and performed.

What is "Bach's Method?"

J.S. Bach, who lived from 1685-1750, had 20 children, 12 of whom he taught to play keyboard - usually the organ. As his children progressed, Bach wrote pieces of music specifically geared to their level of playing to help them learn and master important techniques while playing his beautiful music. These simple pieces are still wonderful learning aids for piano / keyboard students of all ages. My piano lesson books and tape/CD make use of many of these works by Bach.
