| “Playing Popular Music With Ease” has really helped me understand my chords and — equally important — to be able to use them to enhance my playing.

From: Betty Wagner, Music Teacher
I am totally amazed when I find so many people who are keen to play popular songs on their piano or keyboard… but then most of them soon give up!Most of these people can already read the melody on the treble staff, or perhaps they can play the melody by ear… but when they try to play popular music at a more advanced level and with their own special style, they begin to feel so disappointed and frustrated…Here’s why:
- They do not know how to add a nice accompaniment
- They have trouble reading notes on the bass staff
- They simply do not have enough time to learn how
Popular music has always excited people who want to express themselves, to have fun with their friends, to entertain at parties, or to impress other people.
They dream of playing the latest and greatest hits, the “golden oldies” and classic hits of pop and rock, country and western, jazz, gospel… or perhaps the great hymns, traditional folk songs, children’s songs, you name it!
But for most people, music is a pastime, not a profession. With the hectic pace of life today, there just isn’t time for hours of music practice.
Learning to play popular piano music with a full accompaniment written on the bass staff takes years of practice. But — fortunately — there is an easy way to enjoy playing popular music on your keyboard or piano, even if you are not great at sight reading the bass staff!
Introducing… “Playing Popular Music With Ease”
My name is Betty Wagner. I have been a music teacher for more than 30 years, teaching both classical and popular styles of piano. I have always tried to encourage my students to develop their own special styles of playing, but when it came to popular piano, I have seen so many students struggling to get beyond the basics.There have always been two main obstacles that have been bothering my students:
ONE: There are loads of books of popular music on the market and heaps of sheet music on sale that have full accompaniments written on the bass staff. These beautiful chords and embellishments make nice pieces of popular music into a sensational and memorable playing and listening experience.
But these scores are too difficult for my students to play!
TWO: Most of the other simpler books of popular music on the market have been written for the guitar — they have accompaniments written with guitar tabs that only guitar players can read.
Many of these books also have letters and symbols representing the guitar chords written above the treble line. These are fine if you are a guitar player but if you are studying piano or electric keyboard, how do you use them?
Based on my successes in popular piano teaching, I have found a fantastic technique that overcomes these problems. There was nothing else on the market like this for piano and keyboard students, so I thought I would write an ebook explaining this simple technique.
I have invested the time and done the testing with my students, so that YOU TOO can quickly learn to PLAY POPULAR SONGS AND THE MUSIC OF YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS with flair!
Playing Popular Music With Ease
(this ebook will open up a whole new world of popular music for you!)
Here’s how this ebook will help you play popular music:
 If you can read a song’s melody written on the treble staff, you will quickly learn how to translate the guitar chords shown in popular music books into attractive piano accompaniments.
If you can play melodies of your favorite popular music songs by ear on the piano or keyboard, you will learn how to accompany yourself using just the chords shown in popular music song books.
Whatever the case, you will learn simple techniques that will allow you, progressively, to master and embellish chords and play your favorite popular songs in your own unique style with ease!
- Easy-to-Learn Accompaniments – Start by learning to play very simple single note accompaniments and progress at your own pace through a series of graded levels right up to advanced accompaniments.
- Notes Are Clearly Labelled in Every Example – Read every music example easily with the help of note names written beside the notes on the bass or treble staff.
- All the Chords – With this comprehensive ebook, learn how to play all the common types of chords you will find in popular music books: * Major Chords * Minor Chords * Seventh and Minor Seventh Chords * Sixth and Minor Sixth Chords * Diminished and Diminished Seventh Chords * Augmented Chords * Suspended Chords * Add Chords * Higher Order Chords; and * Slash Chords.
- The Ultimate Chord Comparison Chart – See how all the chords relate to each other with our comprehensive comparison chart of all the chords.
| A great ebook… I buy a lot of sheet music for songs I hear on the radio and like but I always had trouble playing them. Now I can play them “with ease”! It’s great! I went through boxes in my basement to find all the sheet music I’ve bought over the years. Now I can actually put it to use!

| Many thanks for “Playing Popular Music With Ease”. Although I have played the piano for many years, I now feel more confident in adding my own accompaniment to any songs with only the treble clef and guitar chords written and I also now have a greater understanding of guitar chords themselves.

| This ebook is great — and perfect for where my wife is in her development. She grew up with classical piano for eight years, but was never taught how to effectively play chords. She greatly desires to play more free flowing chord-based worship music, and this is the perfect book to accelerate her in that direction.

I know you may have a few questions, so
I thought I would answer them here!
Question #1
What makes Playing Popular Music With Ease different from other guides to playing piano chords on the market?
Answer: Other piano chord guide books expect you to memorize huge numbers of chords or else construct chords by painfully counting out an endless series of half tones (or semitones). Some guide books even teach their techniques by asking you to play row upon row of little black notes written on the bass and treble staves. It would be easier to sight read and play the bass accompaniments themselves directly from the scores!
Playing Popular Music With Ease gives you a simple method of constructing any chord in any key. There is no need to count out masses of semitones, and the note names are written out for every example — in case you are not great at sight reading.
Question #2
Do I understand Playing Popular Music Notes With Ease will really make playing popular music easier?
Answer: Yes! My ebook guides you every step of the way, and walks you through each popular music skill in clear, easy, fun steps. It is full of illustrations and embedded sound clips to help you learn even faster.
Question #3
Have other students used this course successfully?
Answer: I knew you were going to ask this question and the answer is YES! I am a trained piano and music teacher, and I have used my special technique successfully over many years with students as young as 10 years old!
Many of my students were just like you: ordinary people who wanted to go to the next level with their popular music playing. I taught them the simple skills needed to get there.
