WHAT IS DECPLAY?


The DecPlay piano course is an online course with video lessons (which you can stop, start and slow down), text information, and PDFs. 


You will need internet or 4G and can access it using any internet enabled device such as a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.  


DecPlay's 5 Step Formula is a proven, intuitive, easy to follow method which uses playing patterns and a step-by-step process to get straight to the fun of playing, incredibly quickly.

It enables beginners to play accompaniment and melody from song sheets, easily and quickly (often playing your first song within 1 day).


HOW DECPLAY DIFFERS FROM OTHER ONLINE PIANO TUITION METHODS


The DecPlay method is the ONLY method that is designed for learning piano later in life.


Other methods are restricted to using notation - which is slow and a barrier for many people - or copycat methods, which don't build music skills or the ability to play by ear - which takes time to learn.


Most online piano apps, like Simply Piano, Skoove, and Yousician, rely on traditional sheet music - which works for complex classical pieces but is inefficient for popular and simple classical music. 


Our course uses the patented PianoTabz style of songs sheets, which translate the abstract language of notation into a language that you can understand in minutes. This means you avoid the frustration of spending years playing scales and exercises and avoid the need to 'read music' which is a barrier for many people.

DECPLAY IS PROVEN TO WORK


Proven by thousands of students aged 50+ and backed by the highest-rated piano course on Trustpilot (94% 5-star reviews), DecPlay removes the barriers of traditional notation. It’s been featured on the BBC and praised for making piano playing accessible to everyone. 

Many students have also learnt to play by ear, which is much easier than you think when you use numbers.


Pop legends like Sir Paul McCartney skip notation, using pattern-based methods instead. DecPlay transforms these proven techniques into an easy-to-learn system using simple numbers and patterns to get beginners playing fast. If you can count to 7, you can play songs in days, not months!


Because DecPlay is an online piano course, it is available worldwide.  We have thousands of students all around the world who are benefitting from DecPlay's unique method.
