Hi! My name is Gerry Baird, and I've been playing chord style piano for more than a decade. I also play classical piano, and I find that the combination of the two styles gives me a wide range of options as a performer and arranger. If you'd like to hear my music - and a sample of what's possible with chord style piano - visit my Bandcamp web site.
I've been teaching piano lessons since 2007, and I've seen the different ways that people approach the piano depending on their age, interests and personality. I am convinced that anyone can learn to play the piano, but so many people quit because they're only presented with one way to learn. Since that way doesn't work for them, they decide to give up on the piano altogether. That's kind of like dismissing every religion because you went to one church one time and didn't like it. Not every religion is the same, and not all piano methods are created equal. If you had a bad experience in the past but have always wanted to play, I encourage you to take a look at the books on this site. Before long you just might find yourself making music!
