The Rockmaster System Visual Piano Learning Method is designed to teach you how to play a piano within minutes, not months or years as with traditional methods. Rockmaster's patented chord changing formula and innovative piano chord tab (tablature) make it easy to play songs without extensive knowledge of music theory; no ability to read music is required to start playing the piano with the Rockmaster System.
Before the creation of the Rockmaster System, aspiring piano players had only two options for learning to play the piano. Naturally gifted musicians could learn to play by ear, matching the sounds they played to remembered songs in their head; while this method requires no formal lessons, it often leaves gaps in harmony and chording ability. Others might take years to learn to read music and to play piano using traditional teaching methods that focus heavily on technique and theory.
Today, there is a better way. The Rockmaster System uses a unique piano/keyboard tablature that teaches you to play accompaniment on the piano or keyboard within minutes. Many people learn best through visual methods, so the Rockmaster System incorporates visual images to help you remember chords and begin playing right away. Additionally, this amazing system includes a patented chord-changing formula that eliminates the need for learning all the chords before beginning to play; instead, Rockmaster System students learn one chord and then apply the chord-changing formula to produce all the other chords. This will allow you to produce any other chord without ever moving more than one note up or down to get to the next chord. Music theory and years of technical practice are no longer a prerequisite for playing piano, but an adjunct to your own creativity and musical development. |

The "Rockmaster System": Relating Ongoing Chords to the Keyboard (ROCK)

| What is the "Rockmaster System"? |
|
The Rockmaster System Visual Piano Learning Method is an innovative piano/keyboard learning method that allows even those with no experience in reading music or playing piano to start playing within minutes. The secret to the Rockmaster System is its patented chord changing method and its simplified piano tablature; these combine to make the Rockmaster System the simplest method for learning piano available today. By devoting just half an hour per week to practicing the Rockmaster System, students will learn to play keyboard accompaniments at a relatively high level in less time than they thought possible.
By “Relating Ongoing Chords to the Keyboard” (ROCK), the Rockmaster System allows students to learn rock-style keyboard accompaniments by using its two patented processes. The first, a unique chord changing system that allows students to master chord changes with maximum ease; no experience in reading music is required to begin learning. Secondly, because the Rockmaster System uses a patented simplified form of piano tablature, it offers a unique visual learning style that is easier for most students to learn than traditional teaching methods. The Rockmaster System actually combines standard notation with its own visual representations, reinforcing the learning process. Students learn to recognize chords and develop an understanding of the underlying relationship between chords and the notes in those chords; the visual representation method provides a valuable memory aid to first-time and returning piano and keyboard students.
Although the Rockmaster System is a rock-style learning method for piano and keyboards, it is designed to allow students to accompany all types of music, including:
• Pop
• Gospel
• Classical
• Latin
• Bossa Nova
• Calypso
• Soca
• Soul
• Reggae
• Folk
• Blues
• Country and Western
• Doo-wop
• Hip-hop
• Standards
• And the list goes on!
Whatever the style of music, the Rockmaster System provides students with the tools and knowledge they need to learn how to accompany their favorite songs. This patented learning method helps students learn quickly and begin performing almost immediately, reducing the frustration and loss of interest that traditional systems can sometimes produce. The Rockmaster System is uniquely suited for the needs of all age groups, since it requires no previous ability to read music and no knowledge of music theory; students can start learning and playing chords from their very first lesson. The Rockmaster System is so groundbreaking that it was awarded two U.S. Patents, making it the most innovative and original piano learning system on the market today.

How the Rockmaster System Works
Fig. 1 is a typical song music sheet for voice, guitar and piano. The top staff is the melody line and is used by the vocalist. The second staff is the chord notes and is played with the right hand. The bottom staff is the bass line and is played with the left hand. Above the staves you will see letters and a diagram. The letters indicate the name of the chord to be played. Below the chord name is the diagram of a fret board. The fret board diagram tells the guitar player what string to press and on which fret, to play the desired chord. This has been a invaluable tool for guitar players for a long time. Do you think something like this for the piano player would be helpful?
Well there is nothing like this for the piano player. Until now. Take a look at Fig. 2. See the piano keyboard diagram above the chord name indicating which keys to play to get the desired chord. This would be helpful but would be very cumbersome as the piano keyboard diagram would be much larger than the fret board diagram and would not fit very well on the song sheet if there is more than one chord in the measure.
Look below the keyboard diagram and you will see X’s and ‘s. The X indicates a white key to be played and the indicates a white key to be skipped. Now we can use this much smaller diagram on the song sheet to help the piano/keyboard player with the chords. This smaller diagram will fit even if there is more than one chord in the measure. See Fig.3.
Many song books now don’t even have the piano notes, just the melody line and the guitar chords.
See Fig. 4.
This system works very well with those songbooks. See Fig. 5.
