His simple method, which does not require rote memorization or tedious exercises, will teach you to play a simple melody in just 30 minutes, even if you don't know how to read music.

- Reading melodies from songbooks with written piano parts
- Improvisation
- Playing by ear
- Methods for developing your own performance style regardless of the genre you are interested in (rock, jazz, blues, or pop music).

Norman Monath has been teaching music and performing professionally for over 35 years.
