Good, for those with a good attention span.
I only recommend this for people with good attention spans. While the teacher is an accomplished pianist with lots of information to offer, he's not very effective at keeping your interest for long periods of time. If you're looking for an upbeat, exciting DVD that will entertain you while its teaching you, don't look here.

The most boring DVD ever
This guy might be a great musician, but as a teacher, well... Even though I'm very interested in learning piano, I tried not to fall asleep during his long and boring speech... but I couldn't.
Try it if you're pacient, I couldn't.

Finest so Far
This is the best of DVD's available on this subject, best instructional and best value and I've tried most of them. Pete Sears takes a mature beginners approach to learning...refreshing not to hear 'Go tell Aunt Nancy' and 'Ode to Joy', which is why I gave up on the piano years ago. Now with an insight into note intervals and chord structures and Pete Sears' obvious passion for the instrument I'm motivated. If you don't wish to play piano its still worth the price for the musical insights the humour and Mr Sears irony. Would like him to make a follow-up aimed at the more advance player and also publish accompanying Book/CD set.

Pete Sears teaches piano
The dvd is a joy to watch and listen to. Mr. Sears is going to give you musical concepts that you will have to practice with and develop to create your own personal expressions. The tools he gives are the ones that artists who play "by ear" use. Mr. Sears love for music and the joy he feels as he expresses himself on the piano and his desire to share his path with us comes warmly through. The emphasis is on the blues. You will not learn individual songs here, but rather the ideas that go into blues and improvisational playing. This DVD is just a starting point. But a good one.

Best DVD out there
I am brand new player, This DVD is right on target. It covers everything from Half steps, to chords to reading music. I can't understand someone saying this isnt for beginners. He even tells you what kind of CHair to buy. If you are going to spend money, this is the best money to spend. Granted he does jump around, and some of it might seem confusing. Watch the whole DVD and you will understand. If you are looking for music theory and learning for real look here, if you are looking for mary has a little lamb, or twinkle twinkle look else where. I rented almost all the DVDs out there on this subject, and this one is the best hands down so far. About 10 times more useful information on it, and I can't believe the DVD is only 17$.
