Many piano websites feature a collection of random tutorials, leaving the student with no idea whether a particular piece or exercise is too easy or difficult. The exercises and pieces on the PPA website are carefully graded, and cover the most important topics in the order in which they should be presented. Many online tutorials are taught by instructors who, frankly, have little business teaching the piano. Jason Paul Peterson holds a doctoral degree in piano from the Peabody Conservatory. He’s a Fulbright Scholar, and has performed concerts all over the world, both in classical and pop settings. His many years of teaching experience means you can trust the quality of the instruction.  In addition, our videos feature several pedagogical tools not found with other programs. Many websites and apps feature scrolling music. No professional plays from music that scrolls; it’s ineffective and doesn’t train the eyes properly. Instead, our music is fixed, with a moving playhead so you always know exactly where you are. Rather than two separate keyboards–one for the fingers and one for the notes–PPA tutorials feature one single light-up keyboard, which means less jumping around with your eyes. The custom video player allows the playback speed to be adjusted, and you can also loop any section of the video. PPA is also one of the only programs that also shows the sustain pedal where required. Proper use of this pedal is one of the most important elements of good piano playing. PPA places great importance on the quality of the pieces themselves. Classical works are presented in their original form whenever possible, as the composer intended them. Many of the other pieces have been arranged specially by Jason Paul Peterson to ensure both the proper level of difficulty as well as great-sounding piano writing.  PPA also offers live seminars, and gives students the possibility to ask questions and learn about numerous piano-related topics in an interactive environment.
