What if I don't have any musical background?I get this question a lot! My past students have ranged from absolute beginners to students who have had years of traditional lessons. All of them agree that the Simplified Piano method is very easy to learn when I show them how to simplify the process.

I really want to learn, but I'm worried I won't have the time. Will I fall behind?
Hey friend, don’t worry! This whole course is entirely go-at-your-own-pace. Why? Because I want you to take your time, to implement as you learn, to listen and re-listen as many times as you need. You can take five days or five months — it’s all up to you. Everyone’s journey through the workshop will look a little different and that’s the beauty of it. Each video ranges from 30 seconds to 9 minutes long — no unnecessary fluff here.

I've taken lessons in the past that promised an easy solution, but they turned out to be complicated. Is your teaching really any different?
Great question! I took 10 years of classical lessons and felt the exact same way. I was frustrated. It was confusing. I didn't find joy and there certainly wasn't any freedom to pick up any song I wanted to learn. Since then, I have played for years and constantly get asked what my secrets are. I'm so passionate about teaching simple steps with my students to find that same success.
Hear what others have to say:
I took 5-6 years of formal piano as a kid & knew theory and could play basic songs, but I wanted to be able to sing along. Learning from Bethany allowed me instantly to play the songs I had been trying to learn one measure at a time before. I have been able to apply what I already know to be able to play the songs I have always wanted to play and sing along to.

I am loving this Workshop. So nice to finally be able to sit down and play a song that I have heard on the radio. Picked up "Let it Be" by the Beatles. Awesome!

I've played my piano more in my first month of your Workshop than I practiced throughout all my younger lessons combined. These lessons make it fun again and I love being able to pick up a lead sheet or any old music I have and just play it! There's so much freedom in your method, you can be as creative as you want or just keep it simple. Can't wait to learn more!
