About this section

I've been trying to learn to play piano for about 10 years and still I don't consider myself a great piano player. But I've come across many sites which claim to have "free" lessons which are actually only a bit more than commercials for their lessons they have for sale.
I don't want to make money from teaching you about my views of music. I want to have a different profession than a music teacher. Playing music is just my hobby. This blog comes from the struggles I've made to find some decent free lessons about piano playing. I just wish to make it easier for others to learn how to play because I think music is an awesome art worth pursuing for anyone.
Some people who inspired me:

"Harmonica man" who lives to teach children how to play harmonica
Heartwoodguitar.com 
a site of a professional guitar teacher with really helpful free lessons for guitar beginners and lots of chord charts with strumming patterns - I've found the patterns very useful because most chord song databases don't show them.

Pianobychords.com is a simple method of teaching piano by chords but I couldn't manage to get trough all the lessons yet. I guess I will try to give it some time.
Pianofundamentals.com is a site about piano practice, with a downloadable pdf book and translated into various languages... I like the concepts though I haven't find the time to finish the book yet...

So that should be enough for an introduction. I'll try my best to put in this section all my insights of an unskilled person how to improve my poor piano playing with some easy to follow tricks.
