Hello, my name is Glen Hansard, and I've just been sitting here working through the DecPlay method of playing piano here with Declan, and I gotta say I'm really knocked out.
It's incredibly simple. I can't believe I'm able to play songs like Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, a song I never thought I'd be able to play on piano.
I'm able to play it (instantly) just by looking at the sheet.
It's an amazing way to tune into your ear and and to get away from all of the daunting (notation) notes. Even though I know what the notation notes are, I've read them and I've studied them, I've never quite got comfortable with reading music.
And so this is an incredible way to learn piano. A bit like what Tablature (tabs) was for guitar when I was a kid. I wouldn't have learned all those great Dylan songs without tablature.
And this is a really direct way into the chords. And so I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

I could read a bit of music and play tunes in my right hand but didn't know what to do with my left hand.

DecPlay makes it easy ..... it's fun!

I am now retired and over the years I had tried learning piano but found it overwhelming.
The DecPlay system made it possible for me to play right away, with just a modicum of practice, Genius!
I'm experiencing the pleasure of creating music for the first time in my life.

At 59 yrs I had never played an instrument and was unable to read music (having tried several times).
Within weeks the DecPlay system enabled me to play songs I love on piano.
It's great that I don’t need to 'read music' in order for me to play and enjoy the piano every day.
