By Michael Mickey Charles

Some of us are looking for a way to introduce piano into our lives but are not quite ready to begin the process of hiring an instructor. Other, more advanced pianists are looking to explore new types of music. A piano DVD may be the perfect solution for the new piano player or a more experienced pianist that may want to add a new type of music to their repertoire. The following are three of the most popular piano DVD choices and what they have to offer.

This easy to follow and friendly introduction to chord and melody playing is best suited for children under the age of five who have just begun playing the piano. The lessons include many favorite childhood songs helping to make them that much more fun for young music students.
