Frequently Asked Questions

This course will help you play the songs you love and have fun in the process. Other online course focus on reading sheet music which can be tough for beginners to learn at least in the early stages of their piano journey. Other courses claim they teach you songs but they are only showing you the chords and not the melody. While this can sound nice if you can sing the tune, it sounds a bit empty if you are just playing solo piano.

The BuzzPiano course will get you playing songs and putting the hands together very quickly, teaching you how to play the melody in the right hand, and chords in the left, creating a full performance every time you sit at the piano.

While you can learn some songs on YouTube, you won’t find a step-by-step method which walks you through how to play songs AND learn useful techniques that you can apply to any song of your choice.

You also have the option of having a 1-to-1 lesson with Martyn as part of the course so he can give you some pointers and help you progress even faster.

You’ll need a Steinway grand piano for this course. Only kidding! Any piano is fine, as is any electric keyboard or digital piano. Just make sure whatever you use has at least 61 keys (semi-weighted preferably) You’ll probably want a sustain pedal as well although it isn’t necessary for this course.
