All You Need Is 30 Minutes A Day And You'll Be Prepared To Make Music The Way You Want To Once And For All!

From: Allen Cook
Dear Aspiring Musician: Do you think the above headline sounds a little farfetched? Not at all. It's very achievable.

In fact, people still react with amazement when I tell them I first started teaching myself to play piano well after finishing high school. ("Isn't that a little late to get started?"). Truthfully I never thought about it. I wanted to learn and I just started. And, within roughly a six month period, I was playing gigs with local bands. I wasn't great but the band members (more importantly), audiences, thought my skills were enough. I got the job done. And knowing music by way of the piano allowed me to pick up other instruments along the way with relative ease. If I'd waited until everything was "perfect", I would probably still be playing alone in my room! Know what I mean? The piano (music in general) is not difficult to learn. Anything new is challenging until you start doing it more often. The key is to know what to systematically work on in order to overcome those challenges and improve your skills as you move forward. I'll share in depth with you how I did it.

*Are you a beginner with a desire to express the gift
you've been given?

*Does the praise team at your church need more available and capable
piano/keyboard players?

*Are you a vocalist wanting to develop these skills as well as have the option of accompanying yourself when your regular accompanists are not available?

*Do you want to compose music, write your own songs, and live
the life of the studio artist?

*Do you already play an instrument like the saxophone, trumpet,
guitar, bass, drums, or some other instrument and want to improve your knowledge of music, or learn piano as a second instrument (IMHO: every musician should know basic piano)?

*Do you own a piano, yet the timing was never right to begin, for whatever reason, and now it is?

*Are you a former student of traditional methods?

I've taught many students over the years (including highly skilled classical pianists) using my approach. Many of them were referred to me after “jumping ship” from traditional methods - needing the notes in order to play. I believe sight reading is a skill that should be learned. But it's not needed to play the music you hear on the radio or from recordings, or what you hear in your head. I can help you learn to do this. This is the path of the pros, and I can't stress this enough - learning these methods does not happen like a high speed download, like in the movie “The Matrix” where a program can be uploaded into your brain and Viola!

[At this time, please allow me to tell you a little about myself. I play piano, guitar, saxophone, bass, chromatic harmonica, sing, write lyrics, and I compose my own music. I've shared the stage with some famous people and had some great experiences (I'm not a "name dropper" so fuggedaboutit!). And for several years now I've also been working as a professionally trained piano tuner and technician. But enough about me because this is really about you.]

You may ask "why another music learning program? Isn't this just teaching to play by ear?" Truthfully, playing by ear is only a small part of the equation. Realistically, the ear is developed in time, over time. There are a few other things that need to be put in place before that can happen though. Here's the deal: learning to play the piano comes as a result of learning about music. But learning about music will make the process of learning to play the piano (or any other instrument) and playing by ear a little easier. When I say easier I mean using knowledge as the foundation. A player must still learn to adapt to the physical requirements of the instrument. Any pro will tell you that the piano is the instrument of choice when it comes to learning about music. Actually, it's not the piano that's the main challenge. I'll explain later.

Truth be told, there is always room for a good keyboard player, but more importantly, a knowledgeable musician. Every method has its pros and cons, but rare are the creative and versatile musicians that are a product of strictly traditional methods
especially in light of what's required to play popular music:

1.Traditional methods typically lean toward the sight-reading only approach. As a piano tuner, I've seen many a piano bench full of great sight reading folios and method books. Real story: when I'm done tuning a piano in a client's home, and ask them to test-play/approve their freshly tuned instrument, the majority of the time, the owner can't play without the book. And most of those times, they'll tell me that they wish they could "just play" and weren't so dependent on the notes.

2.Traditional methods can be expensive in the long run (do the math). And even more so if the instructor comes to your home. In addition, it can take months (if not years) to get through those graduated sight reading method books. Some of them have 4 to 7 books before completion of the “course”. Most of the songs are for educational purposes and don't contain songs that most people would remember nor want to play or perform. I personally know people who are still in the first few pages of Book 1 a year later!

3.Traditional methods, in my experience as a teacher (private, in retail store music studios), do not hold the attention of most students through the entire series of the method books. The rare student gets up to Book 4 and beyond. And I've found that unfortunately, most of those students don't maintain their reading skills.
4. Traditional methods typically don't introduce improvisation, playing by ear, and creativity until much later, if at all. Thus, most students start out on the slow boat instead of the fast track.

5.Traditional methods are just not for everybody. Let's face it – not everybody is a prodigy. Nor does one have to be to make music (I sure wasn't when I started - my hands were more like paws!). Playing as a hobby is different from playing at church or playing in a studio or playing 500 concerts a year, yet the foundation is the same. You can get real good with just the basics. I'll teach you how to do it.
But let's face it - piano players rule! Here are some reasons why:
* you can play solo gigs (weddings, dinner parties, etc)
* "kick bass" from a keyboard going solo with a drum machine or in a group
* accompany singers or yourself if you sing
* piano is a great song writing and arranging tool...and the list goes on.

The thing I want to stress here is this...I didn't play like a "pro" overnight when I first started like so many methods out there claim is possible. Beginners are...beginners! And you gotta start - at the beginning! But this is crucial: following a methodical plan, a system that's guided, with a clear and 'not too distant end in sight' is the way to do it. It took about six months for me because I was taking some classes, needed some extra "woodsheddin' time" (AKA 'practice time' - and you will too) to build up my confidence, learn some songs, etc. Now hear this - a teacher can show a student how to play songs but that's not the best use of time ("put this finger here on this note, this finger on that one, then change when get here, now do this..."). That approach gives temporary results. Knowledge will give your permanent results.

Listen closely - there are no secrets. No shortcuts. No tricks. No quick and easy. And I will not lead you on with false promises of playing overnight like a pro. If anyone tries to sell you "secrets" or "fast and easy" - beware! Professionalism is more than just playing music. It comes with knowledge and experience and experience only comes with time. It all begins by spending time at the piano and doing the work. If there's a secret, that's the secret! That's what it takes! So the real truth is it is definitely possible that one day you will play like a pro...if you want to! "How long will it take?" is a good question. The answer totally depends upon you - your situation and circumstances. Remember, it's not when you start but how you finish. You must decide to get in, stay in and never quit. That's The Challenge and the Secret!!
Point blank!

So if the traditional way is not the path for you, then what is? Read on, my friend...

There's no reason for the basics to be strung out forever. Get it over and done with so you can start making music! Soldiers are in boot camp training for only so many weeks. Then they're given assignments to go out to apply what they've learned. Get your foundation down and get out there and play in front of people! Isn't that what it's about? That's where the real learning takes place but you must be prepared. And believe me, you'll never run out of things to learn about music!


Here's a list of some of the benefits MSBS has in store for you:
1.With MSBS, you'll learn how to "read" music by thinking, using the "VPA" approach
2.With MSBS, your financial involvment is a mere fraction of the cost of typical lessons
* a great way to "test the waters" to check your desire to play music
* see what's really involved and how serious you are without spending too much money
* And there's a clear end in sight with its Fixed Term 3-Month Agreement versus the all too common when-will-it end-strung-out-over-too-much-time-and-money of open-ended arrangements. And you'll love this - when you're done, you'll have every basic pro "tool" you'll need

3.With MSBS, you'll learn to apply the concepts and techniques to music you want to play.That way, you stay motivated to reach the point where you can - “just play”.
4.With MSBS, improvising and experimenting are the norm. You'll receive numerous audio files of samples and exercises to train and coordinate your eyes, hands and ears to make you comfortable and very familiar with the keyboard landscape. If you play another instrument, apply these concepts to that one. Oh, here's a secret: it's in the hands. You need a coach more than a secret because there is more to the process. And I'll be your coach to help coordinate your efforts.
5.With MSBS, anyone from the hobbyist to the aspiring professional can use these methods and get results, because it's based on information everybody already knows: alphabets and numbers. You'll receive extra bonuses that'll constantly help you apply what you're learning. Plus, you'll be given what to do to maintain your talents ("chops") from now on.

"My teenage daughter started using the MSBS methods coming from a traditional approach. She now has the tools, techniques and confidence to play each Sunday with our worship team that she didn't have before. It's no longer the struggle it used to be". L. Bullard - Snellville , GA.

Okay. Let's do a little math. Private lessons, whether through an individual teaching out of their home or taking lessons through the local music store cost about $100 (plus or minus) per month as of this writing (teachers coming to your home costs a little more). If you're in for a year, that's $1,200. How about just 6 months? $600. Even after three months the cost is still somewhere around $300. Quitting after spending this kind of money can be heartbreaking to the person paying the bills. And let's not talk about college music students who quit after one or more years!

MSBS is designed as a three month program, put together purposely and methodically to give you a rock solid foundation so that you can confidently build upon anything and everything else you'll ever learn about playing and creating music. Guaranteed!

And you should and must keep learning.

OK, I'm nearly done but I'm sure you understand by now that what you'll learn as a member of MSBS is worth so much more than...

Every effort has been made to present this material as clearly as possible. Results will vary and are dependent upon your circumstances, commitment, motivation and dedication. Your ability to diligently apply yourself and use the material is the only way to guarantee your personal success and achievement.

P.S. Wanna know something else about the information you'll be learning here at MSBS? A few university educated music professionals in my circle have informed me that anMSBS student is getting info that's very much like a basic college entry level education. College ain't cheap either! Many music students in general (even some "pros") haven't yet mastered these basic foundational concepts. Making music, like most things, always comes back down to the basics. This is what many musicians
rely upon day by day to make money! Astonishing, isn't it? Join MSBS today.
