Hi, I’m RL. I love the piano, and do 3 things with this wonderful instrument: play, teach and compose.
At Piano Music with RL, you’ll find piano tutorials and piano video lessons to help you get started playing the piano, and go beyond. We also cover music theory along the way, as I am a firm believer that to learn any language, including music, you need to (1) Listen (2) Read i.e. Play the instrument (3) Write i.e. compose.
If you want to learn the piano, join our Membership site where you’ll get access to hundreds of tutorials (and counting).

This is the first course for anyone who’s just getting started with the piano or keyboard for the first time. Learn notes on the piano, how to curve your fingers, your sitting posture and more.
Learning scales and arpeggios is an integral part of learning to play the piano. Learn all the major/ minor scales and their arpeggios, and chromatic scales here! Knowledge of sheet music is not required for this course. We’ll be using keyboard diagrams to guide you through.
Canon in D is one of the most popular piano pieces. While simple in melody, its soothing and beautiful melody makes it popular everywhere, from movies and commercials, to relaxing music and so on. This is one of the piece that my adult beginner students sought after; and here’s the piano tutorial arranged for piano beginners, while preserving its beautiful melody.
Prelude in C may seem hard for piano beginners, but really, many of my students play it in their first year of piano. There’s little left-right hand coordination, the rhythmic and melodic pattern is almost the same throughout the entire piece. In this piano tutorial, I go bar by bar how to play this beautiful piano piece.
While it’s true that you can play lots of music without being able to “read” sheet music, not being able to read sheet music means you basically have to memorize the notes to play a piece. And how much you can play is basically limited by your memory. Just by knowing how to read basic sheet music, you open up many more repertoires. In this course, I go through the basics that you’ll need to be able to pick up a music score and play.
This course is an extension to the read sheet music course. Once you are able to read sheet music, it’s time to try sight reading. In this piece, we’ll learn through examples, how to sight read music pieces for piano. I’ll go through some steps you can follow in the process, so that you can apply to other pieces too!
