Introduction
There are many ways to do things...and on the piano there are seemingly billions! The forest of black
and white keys can be very daunting for a person who is new to the piano, but there is good news...you
have a Cheat Sheet!
DISCLAIMER: Even though I am calling these “Cheat Sheets” you should not feel remorse or the sud-
den urge to hide them when someone walks by...though it still might be fun to tape them to the seat in
front of you. That was a joke.
Getting Started
Go to pianomeditation.com and click on FREE LESSONS. On that page you will find a video link called
“Getting Started with Cheat Sheets.” Watch this video to better understand “cheat sheets” and how to
use them effectively.
