Essential Piano Exercises Every Piano Player Should Know is a big book of essential piano exercises in every key signature and in every inversion. Piano students need to learn the fundamental basics of playing the piano. There are many music books out there that teach scales, modes, and chords.
This book introduces piano students to intervals, pentacles, tetrachords, scales (major and minor), chords (triads, SUS chords {sus 4 and sus 2}, augmented {aug.}, diminished {dim.}, 6th, minor 6th, major 7th, minor major 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th, minor 7th (flat 5), minor 7th (sharp 5), diminished 7th), chord progressions, and fun, cool piano exercises in all key signatures and inversions.
After presenting the traditional and essential piano exercises, Jerald presents a section featuring FUN and COOL exercises you won't find anywhere else. Jerald also explains why it is important to learn intervals, scales, and chords and then demonstrates what you can do once you have learned the theory. Jerald refers to it as the practical application of music theory. He often calls it "Putting FUN back into Piano FUNdamentals" (emphasis on the word FUN). Take your piano playing to a whole new level with these exercises in every key signature. Piano teachers are thrilled with the amount of exercises presented in this book.

Listen to What these Experts Say...
Tim Topham
"Jerald Simon is an expert at reaching teen students and connecting to them with the music they love.
With his COOL SONGS Series, Jerald creates amazing orchestral backing tracks which are stunning! I know how much my students enjoy playing along with backing tracks! You'll love using these COOL SONGS with your students (and so will they)!"
Jennifer Foxx
"Jerald Simon is a creative music guru when it comes to anything that can be created from an essential piano exercise.
What is cool about all his essential piano exercises is what you could ultimately turn around and do with them. Compose, improvise, arrange, mash ups, remix, the list can go on and on…
And if the exercises aren’t enough, Jerald is always there and willing to lend plenty of support through online groups, lessons, and challenges."
Allysia Van Betuw
"In the online world, it can sometimes be difficult to find real, genuine instructors who are interested and invested in you.
Fortunately Jerald is not only an inspiring music teacher, but also a wonderful person. He cares about making piano practical and fun."

"I did a lot of research trying to find the right piano course on the internet. When I finally signed up for Essential Piano Exercises, I was not disappointed. Vendors often over-promise and under-deliver. Refreshingly, I experienced the opposite. I can recommend this course wholeheartedly to any pianist who wants to learn to improvise, play by ear, and become unglued from sheet music. If you are prepared to put in the hours, this course will change the way you look at the keyboard." - Martin Reith
Join Piano Students Worldwide Who Are Enrolled in this Course.
We currently have piano students from 27 different countries around the world enrolled in this course.
In this course, you will learn music theory, all scales and chords in all keys and how to use them, how to play from a Fake Book, how to improvise and arrange piano music, how to compose music of your own, and even how to play the same song 100 different ways.
I encourage students to practice and learn how to play every song or exercise in every key signature and I personally show you how simple it is to start playing any song in any key signature.
Once you can play the music as it is, I teach you how to arrange any song any way you want and play it in any key signature. After learning how to arrange music, I teach you how to start composing music of your own. Learn music theory, improvisation, and composition on the piano - the FUN way.
I often refer to it as piano FUNdamentals (emphasis on the word FUN). It is the practical application of music theory. I will show you how to apply the music theory you learn to create music of your own by improvising, arranging, and composing music in any style you want.

This course was created for both traditional and non-traditional piano players. Every exercise is written out and you will have the PDF sheet music to follow along with.
The video lessons demonstrate exactly what I am playing on the piano and how I am playing it. Simply watch the video and see the overhead shot of my hands on the piano keys.
With each exercise or song I teach, I count out the rhythm for you, tell you the key signature, teach you the names of the intervals, scales, chords, etc. as I play the music and walk you through how to do exactly what you see me do in the video.
This is what the home page of the course looks like when you log into your account. If you purchase the
COOL SONGS Series in addition to the Essential Piano Exercises course, you will have access to over
163 COOL SONGS composed by Jerald Simon. Each COOL SONG includes the PDF sheet music,
accompaniment MP3 minus tracks, and video lessons where Jerald teaches you how to play each COOL SONG.
Imagine being able to read anything placed in front of you. Not only that, but how would it be like to be able to play music by ear, play from a lead sheet, or from a fake book as well.
I tell students once they learn how to play the music as written, I want them to arrange the music, improvise, and start composing music of their own.
In this course we will also go over how to use software to compose music of your own and I even show you how you can start to market your music to others, if you choose to do so.
This course helps classically trained pianists learn how to play jazz and blues. It helps jazz and blues pianists who play by ear learn how to read music and better understand music theory in a way they never have before.
We have piano students and piano teachers enrolled in this course - students from beginning levels up through advanced professional pianists.
This course is ongoing and new material is being added to this course every week!

“Essential Piano Exercises is in my opinion one of the best online piano resources /platforms out there. I have tried other various online piano learning platforms but I feel Essential Piano Exercises offers the best and most comprehensive foundation for learning the piano. It will teach you all scales, chords, intervals and modes in all inversions, but more importantly, Jerald shows you how you can use this theory and knowledge and apply it to your own playing. You also learn a plethora of various left hand patterns and various styles which is incredibly fun. Jerald's fun and awesome practice ideas will keep you coming back to your piano and you will enjoy making progress with this fantastic course filled with piano techniques, styles, voicings, theory, exercises and improvisational ideas. Every piano player should try this course!" - Clark Kostryca

Top 10 Reasons to Join the Essential Piano Exercises Course...
1. You receive all of my books listed above as PDF downloads, plus the video lessons where I personally teach you every single exercise, scale, chord, pattern, fake book song, etc. from these books - thousands of hours of video lessons.
2. You receive access to the monthly Facebook Live piano lessons I teach the first Friday of every month at 10:30 a.m. (Mountain Standard time) for the members of the private Essential Piano Exercises Facebook group (only members who purchase the course have access to the Facebook group). There is no additional fee for these monthly live piano lessons with me that members who have purchased the course can attend.
3. You learn music theory, improvisation, and composition on the piano and new videos/books are being added to the course every single week.
4. It’s a one time payment of $199.95 and you have lifetime access to everything with the course.
5. If you are a piano teacher, you can add on an additional lifetime studio license (there is a one time payment for that) and then your piano students can have lifetime access to the course as well (there is a one time $10.95 set up fee for piano students).
6. Within the course you are encouraged to film yourself trying all of the scales, chords, left hand patterns, and jazz improvisational progressions and share it in the private Facebook group. This immediately gives you an incentive to learn the exercises and music, and share it in the private Facebook group with other members. Everyone in the group becomes friends, supporters, encouragers, and cheerleaders, and we all help each other progress and improve.
7. You can ask any questions about theory with the members of the group and even suggest new theory concepts or tutorials you would like me to film each month and I will discuss and teach them in the monthly Friday Facebook Live piano lesson and will also put it on my schedule to film additional tutorials to put inside the course.
8. This course challenges piano students and piano teachers to learn how to play the same song 100 different ways (using my book “100 Left Hand Patterns Every Piano Player Should Know - Play the Same Song 100 Different Ways”) and also challenges you to play the music and exercises in every key signature moving up in half steps.
9. Next year we will be adding additional materials to this course teaching everyone in the course how to compose music of their own, how to produce it (create the sheet music in Finale, Sibelius, etc.), how to add instrumentation or orchestration to it in a D.A.W (i.e. Logic Pro), and how to start promoting and selling music of your own. All of this is included in the one time payment of the course.
