Meridee Winters Chord Crash Course: A Teach Yourself Piano Book for Older Beginners and Adults

New cover, same great book!

Play piano without the struggle (and without reading music) using the power of chords! Do you want to accompany yourself as a singer, songwriter or performer? Have you always wanted to play an instrument but don’t know where to start? Are you a music instructor who is looking for a way to liven up lessons or teach popular music?

Chord Crash course is an innovative approach to music instruction that will give you the tools you need to accompany yourself, play your favorite songs and even create your own music. A professional educator and musician, Meridee Winters originally created “Chord Crash Course” while working in a recording studio. She found that many vocalists could not play piano or guitar, and thus could not fully complete a song on their own. As a solution, she developed a “chord crash course” that easily taught them the skills they needed, helping hundreds of musicians become better writers and performers along the way. Years later, she began teaching piano to children (this time applying her experience as a former school teacher), and found that her “crash course” was a great tool for students of all ages and levels. This pattern-based approach is also great for alternative learners, including those with ADHD, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and more. Her teaching method has now reached thousands of students.You'll find that this book teaches basic skills and chords in a fun, step-by-step way. Unlike traditional music books, which slowly work up to playing real songs, Chord Crash Course uses the power of patterns to have you playing great-sounding music right away.

In this book you’ll learn:
Chords and Arpeggios - the building blocks of music
Popular chords progressions that will allow you to play your favorite songs
How to play from a lead sheet Music concepts like intervals, major, minor and transposition – explained simply!

Chord Crash Course is a great standalone introduction to playing piano or supplement to any method.

Chord Crash Course is a part of the innovative Meridee Winters Music Method.
