Our Thoughts - Rocket Piano is a multi-media piano lessons course utilizing video, audio and written lessons. Although the site claims that the course is suitable for beginner to advanced students, we feel it is geared more toward the beginner to early intermediate piano student. It is a good course that is well thought out and the presentation is easy to follow and understand. This has been the course of choice for thousands of piano students and is well suited to teaching all the piano basics needed to advance to the next level. User surveys have returned good reviews and consistent ratings of 3 or 4 - out of 5.
The Instructor - Ruth Searle is a classically trained pianist with over 15 years of professional experience. In addition to classical music, she is also well versed in Jazz, Pop, Blues, Rock and Gospel. She received the Australasian Award for Composition and has a degree in Commercial Music.
High Notes - Rocket Piano has been around for a while and has a proven track record with piano students all over the globe. The program is presented in an easy to follow, step-by-step format, by a skilled instructor. The piano quizzes and learning games help keep the student interested and we found this course to be a good value for the money.
Low Notes - This course is not recommended for an upper intermediate or advanced player, but is a good choice for a beginner. It is not nearly as comprehensive as Learn & Master Piano, or The Piano System - but not nearly as expensive either. The site offers a hard copy version of the course, but the price it is offered at would not be, in our opinion, a wise investment. The download version of the course would require the student to take the lessons in front of the computer, which is a detractor for some.
Summary - All in all, Rocket Piano is a great way for a beginning piano student to learn the basics without breaking the bank.
Final Thoughts - Recommended!
