The main thing is the numerical notation on the music sheets, which I can follow. The Declan team is great and of course Declan himself. All the members seem very nice on ZOOM as well as on the... See more

It takes you step by step to playing…
It takes you step by step to playing with both hands with useful tips along the way.
You're never too old. Make music
I love to practice and feel that the music actually sounds good to me. I do not read music but have been able to follow and smooth out the pauses, as my fingers are remembering the proper keys. It is also a good mind/memory exercise.
Easier for me to learn
Easier for me to learn. Had other online course in the past but did not work for me . Thanks so much.
Warm days, cosy nights …
What better way to beat the long cold winter day's and nights than sitting down in a warm room playing your piano, beats watching TV.
Easy way to start learning piano
Easy way to start learning piano. Good explanation through videos. Decplay gives quicker results than other learning methods.
Beginner to piano experience
Ease of assimilating notes to keys without the additional requirement of learning traditional notation.
I would give DecPlay six STARS.

For seniors its a great hoby and makes playing keyboard with two hands possible.
The satisfaction is enormus just playing one tune I sit at the Yamaha laughing.
Learning to play piano, this way, is easy and fun.
If you have ever wanted to play piano and need something that will get you playing within half an hour, then this is for you. I am doing the beginners course and I can already play 10 tunes within 3 months of starting!
Good way to learn to play a piano
I find the lessons easy to follow. I'm struggling with the chords as my left wrist is unable to do them and is painful which is age related. I also find the discipline needed to stick at it a challenge however, I'm up for the challenge.
Ongoing backup
Continual backup and communication with zoom calls that aids monitoring off progress, also opportunities to ask questions if stuck with anything.
You dont know until you try. I did
Its easy to understand if you take your time .Take it at your own speed. Loads of help available. Great zoom meetings with Declan and other 'learners' like you. I love it. Just have problems with getting the left hand to keep in time with the right, but its getting there.
Great to allow piano playing so available
I absolutely love decplay and so glad that I have joined up. Absolutely brilliant
I absolutely love decplay, it is so user friendly and so interesting and feeling very motivated with my new course and feel like I am finally achieving something and fulfilling my dream at the age of 59 I highly recommended this course 😊 ❤️
I have never played the piano before…
I have never played the piano before these lessons. My only music experience has been paying classical guitar & violin 40 years ago.
I found the whole experience easy & enjoyable.
BRILLIANT instructor who made it so enjoyable. I loved the way the lessons were developed & being able to return as many times to the lessons helped a lot.
I had never played before
I had never played before,
And I love it and I can play a few songs and you can recognise what I am playing, and it is so easy.
Thank you Declan.
Playing for fun.
I had learnt as a child, but didn't get far. Picked this up very quickly and Declan has explained the answers to my questions. On my way to playing many songs of my choice. I'm over 60.
Easy to learn at any age but especially…
Easy to learn at any age but especially for the more mature student. Easy to learn whether you have or have not played the piano before. Easy to learn whether you can or cannot read music.
Just so very easy to learn and well worth the money and the investment in yourself and your leisure and your learning.
You did well but I didn’t do so well
You did well but I didn’t do so well, I’m just getting back into it again. I have arthritis in my hands and I’ve had trouble with my eyes. Hopefully I will be able to start again, or play by ear.
Thank you for the lessons.
Personal and comforting to deal…
Very personal and comforting to deal with real people and not an AI generated bot. Thanks Declan.
If you have always wanted to play the piano but thought you needed to be able to read music - think again!
The DecPlay Piano course is fantastic because you really do not need to read music to be able to play and you can start by playing songs straight away! After just a few weeks I am now playing Canon in D without any prior piano/music knowledge!
My family are amazed at the progress I have made and I would highly recommend this fun way to learn how to play the piano. The course has given me a real sense of achievement and it is so enjoyable. I can now play music that I never thought possible before. Thank you DecPlay Piano.
