About
PianoMagic.com
This
web site exists to share the knowledge, practical application,
experience and continuing evolution of music in the life of Michael
Anderson, a professional, self-taught musician, author, composer
and instructor of over 7000 live students attending his
college/university sponsored "Piano Magic Play By Ear
Workshop").
Michael Anderson created
this site, maintains this site, and is the primary contributor
of information on this site. He writes all of the articles, lessons
and books, creates and produces all of the video and audio presentations,
personally reads and responds to most postings within the interactive
members area, creates easy to understand 'lessons on demand' to
clarify or explain difficult musical concepts, and fully participates
in the development (and success) of his students - wherever they
may be worldwide.
In addition to operating
this web site, teaching live Piano Magic Workshops throughout
the Southeastern U.S.A. and publishing a variety of articles and
books, Michael Anderson is a professional solo musician who performs
primarily within Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.
Piano Magic Members
Only (PMMO)...
...is
a private online resource that gives you direct access to targeted
information - including text, interactive discussion, audio and
video presentations - about teaching yourself to successfully
and easily play piano by ear. (The techniques are equally effective
if you play an electronic keyboard.) In addition, through the
PMMO Member Forums you can interact directly with Michael
Anderson, creator of the Piano Magic Method. 
The Members
Only doorway (picture at right) is found in the upper right corner
of every page in this web site. To enter the Members Only area,
just click on the door and enter your password info.
How To Use PMMO
Although you can use
the Members Only Area (PMMO) as if it were a living book
with audio and video, you will gain the most by treating PMMO
as if it were a real interactive workshop; because that
is what it is. As such, you should familiarize yourself with all
areas and resources within the Member site. Of prime importance
is the advantage that everything is online with downloadable
audio and video presentations to enhance information delivery.
In addition, you have direct interactive contact and feedback
with the instructor, Michael Anderson, as well as other members.
(If you prefer a canned course with books, CD's, DVD's
or video tapes, you won't find it here.)
The 'On Site' Instructor
If you've
ever heard Michael Anderson play, you know he has a natural
talent for expressing music.  If
you've ever heard him speak, you know he has a personable and
entertaining style of communication. If you've ever read any of
his articles or books, you know he has a knack for simplifying
complex ideas and making them understandable to almost anyone.
If you already know something about Michael Anderson, then you
know what to expect!
If you don't
know Michael Anderson, then you'll want to know that one evening
in 1967, he discovered his talent and taught himself to
'play piano by ear' in about five hours; got his first gig
as a musician two weeks later and has been playing professionally
ever since. (See
Michael's Performance Resume')
Since 1988, Michael
Anderson has personally taught more than 7000 students who attended
his live Piano Magic Workshop presentations, sponsored
by more than 128 colleges and universities across the Southeastern
U.S.A.
 In
this web site, Michael shares the insight, simple thoughts and
physical movements that enabled him to play so quickly and so
well. In this site, Michael guides you step-by-step to understand
and duplicate his surprising and astounding beginning. In this
site, you will learn to play piano by ear (or any keyboard instrument)
as easily as you speak; quickly, expressively and creatively.
What you will NOT
find:
You will not find a
piano method based upon 'traditional instruction'. You will not
learn to read music. You will not learn to play by rote. You will
not learn to play by memorizing. You will not learn to play scales.
Neither will you find:
- Advertising
- Pop-up windows asking
you to become a member, buy a product or join an email list.
- 'Up Sale' promotions
to encourage you to spend more money for a better or more complete
instructional presentation.
- Private lessons
(if you need private lessons, expect to pay much more
and spend far longer to learn much less!)
What you WILL find:
You will find simple,
logical, common sense instructions for playing piano by ear, the
way you dream of playing, that you can immediately use.
For one low fee, you get access to EVERYTHING offered by Michael
Anderson! 
With almost four decades
of performing, composing and teaching experience, Michael Anderson
draws from a vast resource of information and practical insight
to share a simple and unique perspective of music - that of teaching
others 'how to teach themselves to play by ear'...by someone who
has done it, lived it and still depends upon it!
