My dream is that everyone, no matter their financial situation, time constraint, or age, can have the opportunity to learn to the play the piano. Free pianos are a dime a dozen these days, so check out your local sale pages, get yourself a playable piano, and start learning. These lessons are taught from specific books that must be purchased, but the video lessons are totally FREE! Join me, your new teacher, and learn to make beautiful music!

The audio tracks in this column are the duets from the lessons. I played both parts so that you can hear your part as well as mine. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get them to all work the same, so you have to count in the number of beats that are listed after the title and then begin. Hopefully, it will make sense after doing a few. Good Luck!
