Frequently Asked Questions

Even if you've played some classical piano in the past or taken traditional lessons, we think it's best to start at Course 1. The chord-based concepts taught within our courses build upon each other and are wildly different than traditional teachings—it's helpful to set a good basic foundation for this type of playing before moving on to more advanced techniques later on in the courses. The most important thing to remember is that Piano in a Flash teaches non-classical styles of piano. So, if you are hoping to expand on your classical playing, we're not the right fit for you.

Piano in a Flash includes easy-to-use online lessons that can be taken at your own place, and accompanying hard copy materials sent right to your door. We provide straightforward instructions so you can easily set up your account in the lesson environment, plus you'll have access to our friendly support team to help you get the hang of things. Once you're ready to get started, all you have to do is press play and follow along as Scott clearly explains and demonstrates everything from basic chords to accompaniment. He'll always tell you what page to turn to in your books, too. No matter what lesson or exercise you are on, you can stop at any time and our platform will always remember where you left off for next time.

Not at all! We will start with the very basics, and you can move through the program at your own pace. Some people with previous exposure to music lessons might move a little faster, but that's okay! Our lessons are designed to help people of all experience levels play for fun with a chord-based method.

Lifetime membership does not constitute a customer's ability to request refunds or returns during said lifetime. If the domain becomes inactive and inaccessible for any reason, whether that be temporary issues befalling the domain or permanent closure of the domain, students will no longer have access to the online learning environment and its videos and resources.
