Course details

Learn how to play piano while you learn how to perform classics from the catalogs of great composers such as Strauss, Beethoven, and Chopin. Music professor and acclaimed accompanist Hugh Sung has created a comprehensive video library of piano lessons and clear, over-the-shoulder shots of performances of classic tunes. Watch at your own pace as Hugh breaks down classics like "Spring Dance," "Blue Danube Waltz," "Ode to Joy," and "Minute Waltz." Each song is demonstrated at different tempos, so you can slowly increase your pace as you get more comfortable at the keyboard, and overlaid with notation, so you can read each line of music as it's taught. With this training, all levels of pianists learn to play the music they love! Hugh's enthusiasm for piano is contagious and his lessons emphasize learning to play popular songs using a step-by-step method that any level of player can follow.

    Really liked the course. Love the instructor. Very enthusiastic but also gives very insightful tips and useful breakdowns. One area of note though on section 4 (Chopin's Minute waltz): The sheet music on a number of the individual video lessons seems to be permanently stuck on the first phrase. It's proved near impossible to follow so I've resorted to just skipping the section entirely. If someone is able to fix, I'd love to be notified and revisit it. Thanks!

    It's a very great series of piano lessons, with super clear informations, nice songs (maybe except one) and happily engaging teacher. The explanations are really helpful and clear, the provided scores are perfect and, for the harder ones, with additional finger hints to read and practice by yourself without going crazy. Maybe starting with a rather rhythmically odd song like Spring Dance is (at least for me) kinda unhappy. The song is not so "square" on the beat and requires a lot of concentration just to play the melody and, as an absurdly total beginner, I found much easier the "harder" Blue Danube Waltz, just because it was already in my mind and flows easy in its 3/4 movements. Still, not a gamebreaker. Highly suggested
