Patterns are an integral part of the piano – the whole keyboard is built upon a single series of 12 keys, and piano sheet music naturally involves a number of patterns – both melodic (single notes) and harmonic (multiple notes).
In this video lesson, I’ll show you how you can use some very simple patterns to improve your piano playing FAST. They may take just a little practice, but once you learn these and start creating your own, I think you’ll begin to see the power of piano patterns
Patterns – for both one and two hands – are just one of the MANY topics I cover in my 4-week online/DVD video piano course, Improvise Piano… FAST!

Thanks for the video. Unfortunately it stops playing at about miinute 12. I’d like to see the whole 16 minutes. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the informative free lesson on patterns. I play piano by ear, but I certainly couldn’t make a living at a piano bar! Any tips you can send my way to help me improve are always welcome and appreciated.
Hi Bill
Thanks for the Video on Patterns in Piano playing.
I think your technique is quite unique and yet so easy to follow.
Your method also shows how many styles can be incorporated in pattern playing. This video piece alone somewhat covers a full introduction to piano performance. Priceless!!
I will be checking out your other videos, of course they are also very reasonably priced.
Cheers

Dear Bill
Thank you very much for your emails containing help for learning to play the piano. I am 67 years old so learning anything takes that much longer. I desperately want to be able to read music (mostly hymns) so I can play at my chapel, our lady who plays each week is not too well now and has been poorly for some time so I try and set everybody off by playing a few chords or just starting them off on the right key, but its embarrising when you can’t play the whole tune, however I will stick at it.
Once again, Thank You.
Kind regards David
Thanks for the free piano lessons. I watch anything available in the internet and interested in anybody who can play music. Of course I enjoy and appreciate your effort to please your students and music lovers, I must have had some difficulties or blocks in co-ordinations with my left and right hands . I miss the fluid rythem .
You were teaching patterns for hands separately it was nice and music was beautiful but I want to be able to read music and control my fingers at the same time. My progress has been slow and there times that I am totally blocked. I envy you and all the pianists who can play fast and easy.
thanks for the communications and video sudabhe

Hello Bill,
Thank you for making avaiable Pattern Piano.
It is very concise, easy to understand and put into play immediately. Am enjoying your “Professional Piano Chords For Everyday Pianists” very much also. (especially the 9th, 11th, and 13th chords.)
Please keep the video lessons coming. I have become a devoted fan.
Regards,

Dear Bill:
Let me apologize if I misled you. I’m sure your information is great for those who know how to play. Unfortunately, I am really a beginner wishing he knew how. What a wonderful gift it would be. I f you know some basic keyboard instructions that I could learn, please advise. You had a similar response from a 67 yr old. Well I am 74 yrs old and still wish I could larn. All the best, and tks for trying.
