The Goal Of Rocket
Piano
According the author of Rocket
Piano*, Ruth
Searle, “you'll discover how to read music, how to
improvise, how to play Jazz and Gospel, and how to play
with the magic and "feel" of a professional. We designed
Rocket Piano to be the easiest system to learn to play
the piano available anywhere.”

The Negatives
Downloadable
lesson
The programs used to
be frustrating to download, organize and quickly retrieve
the bits of audio and video as needed. This has been
brilliantly fixed with special free download management
software that does all of the file organizing for you.
Just click on a video or audio button in the ebook and it
pops to the foreground. Nice Job Rocket
Piano.
The final and only significant
weakness of Rocket
Piano is
that it is a written
program with audio and video enhancements instead of an
all-video program. They have, however, done a masterful
job of enhancing each written lesson with well produced
photos, diagrams, audio, video and play-along jam
tracks.
The Positives
- The Price is
a bargain at
$39.95
- The volume and selection of
lessons is good.
- The author/ instructor Ruth
Searle does a nice job.
- The bonus software items are
genuinely useful and worth the $39.95 by
themselves.
- The quality of the audio and
video snippets are excellent.
The Cost Analysis
The
Price is $39.95 and includes
all of the items mentioned
above.
Rocket Piano Lessons with Ruth
Searle contains the equivalent of 6 months to a year of lessons
if you were to space them out as if you were taking lessons
from a local piano teacher. A local instructor typically will
charge anywhere from $20 to $50 USD per weekly lesson. Your
minimum cost, ( not including materials ), at only $20 per
lesson for 6 to 12 months would be approximately $520 to $1040
USD .
The choice comes down
to Rocket
Piano at $39.95 USD or a local instructor
at $520.
Support
An extensive online “Frequently
Asked Questions” section is available plus online email
support. A well used forum with piano related questions
and answers is also available. Every Rocket
Piano member
is entitled to lifetime updates of the software and
lessons.
Guarantee
If you are not satisfied for any
reason, simply return it within sixty (60) days for a
full refund of the purchase
price.
The Bottom
Line
My top
recommendations always lean towards instrumental music
lesson programs that are all-video. They generally offer
a clearer method of communicating lots of subtle
information. Having said that, I feel
that Rocket
Piano is the absolute Best partial audio
and video enhanced,
written lessons I have ever seen. At only $39.95 it is
also the least expensive
one.
Rocket Piano is perfect for
someone that does not wish to spend $150- $200 for an all-video
program. It is an excellent, complete, professional, low-cost
way to get started with learning to play piano. For these
reasons, I recommend, with out hesitation, the
Rocket
Piano lesson
program.
