"Hi Mr. Ron,

I have studied piano since I was 4 years old. My mother was my piano teacher. She taught me how to read sheet music and the needed fingerings to play scales. I enjoyed my lessons with her and practiced everyday!  

I went to Music College and studied Chopin, Bach, Beethoven and many other famous classical music composers, as well as Hanon and Czerny for finger strength and agility.

I can read very complicated music and I can play any technically challenging harmonic and melodic passage. But I had a problem when I wanted to play Jazz or Pop music. I mean... when I wanted to create my own sound, like Jazz or Pop musicians do, I couldn't!

I was so frustrated. Even though I was a "degreed" musician, and studied for a long time, I couldn't create my own sound on the piano. I could only read sheet music.

I searched for any kind of book that would teach me how to create my own sound. But some books were too easy and other books were too academic. All I wanted to do was get to a point in my playing where I could create my own sound. 

Then, I came across your site and purchased your DVD.

You are the "real deal!"

Your DVD finally helped me to "re-think" my approach to music and understand the needed keyboarding skills to create my own style through your piano "tricks of the trade" teachings!

It's just like having you at home, 24 hours a day. I can review your lessons to make sure I am applying the techniques correctly.

I feel your DVD can help "confused" classically-trained pianists. I know it can!

What I like about your teaching style is the fact that, everyone can benefit from this DVD.  Your beginner to advanced concepts are presented in such a manner that anyone can understand.  This DVD is truly for the "visual learner!"

Once I learned about modes, I could start creating my own sound immediately!

It's fun and exciting studying with you. I can't put it down!

Your devoted student."
