Maybe you've tried to learn the piano before. Maybe you've given up. Maybe you're searching for something that's missing from your last how-to piano book. Many methods focus on teaching you all the basics in one key signature, usually C Major, because it's easiest to navigate on the keys. After playing dozens of songs in C Major, or sometimes an entire book of songs, you finally graduate to the next key where you'll need to learn dozens of songs in that key before mastering it. This method often leads to frustration when you're finally introduced to a new key as it feels totally foreign. The Key By Key approach focuses on learning only a few songs in each key and then moving on to the next to fully immerse you in the world of piano.
