Practical Piano for Adult Beginners & Late Starters
A step-by-step course designed to take you from the basics of the keyboard into playing real music with confidence.
Build Your Skills Through Familiar Songs
In the Beginner Course, we use songs such as...
-
“Hound Dog”
-
“Let It Be”
-
“Take Me Home, Country Roads”
-
“Crocodile Rock”
-
“Boot Scootin’ Boogie”
...to develop practical piano skills.
Start with the chords and song sections, then build on them with rhythm, bass movement, smoother chord changes, and sustain pedal. You’ll learn and understand the common chord patterns behind hundreds of popular songs, with guided practice sessions and printable download guides.Â
No traditional music reading required. Learn at your own pace, and go back through any lesson whenever you need to.

🎹 Meet Steve FarmerÂ
Hey there! I'm Steve, and I've been playing piano for more than 50 years, all styles from classical to country, pop, rock, blues, and gospel. I've spent over 20 years making my living as a touring pianist, performing with nationally known artists including Sammy Kershaw and on the Roots & Boots tour with Aaron Tippin, Collin Raye, Joe Diffie, and others.
I also studied Commercial Piano at Belmont University in Nashville.
✅ But you don't need to become a professional musician—or spend years learning to read complicated music—to enjoy playing piano.
I created these lessons to show you the practical patterns and ideas I've actually used as a working musician—and to explain them in a way that makes sense for adult beginners and people coming back to the piano.

If you've ever thought piano seemed too complicated—or wondered whether you waited too long to learn—you're not alone. There's actually a much better way, that fits many adult learners.
