Information provided by various external sources

We have not learned the piano, because we started early and had rich parents. We don’t use lifeless piano apps only to give up after 2 weeks. And we don’t even play piano to perform on stage. In fact the truth is the exact opposite. We have started late and on budget. We use technology, but we know success is only possible with a world class teacher & a community. And we don’t even play piano to perform. We play to survive. Mentally. You will see. Every lesson we teach is based on actual data, experience and world-class teaching. We are not your private piano teacher or your hip piano app - we are both. “Who or what are you collectively fighting against?” If you would ask any of these russian piano nerds, they would tell you: How is that even possible? If you asked the Mental Life Coaches, they’d tell you that what we’re doing is impossible. Yet it’s happening. Every single day. It’s happening through the art and science that we call Smart Learning. We are Smartists, and these are our stories!

A page worth the money and the lessons!

The team immediately responded and fixed the problems and that is a great thing.

The webpage has some issues but the lessons are crystal clear and that is all that matters.

It is not expensive as well and it's a MUST for all who try to learn piano with game music,I cannot express how much people will like it

Great support and very beginner friendly for learning piano pieces

Great site, tried the trial and had some issues with playing some videos. Sent in a report ticket regarding those videos and they fixed them in less than 24 hours and responded to me regarding them. Very fast support and great response time.

The videos themselves are also a great resource for learning to play several piano pieces and the step by step process is very beginner friendly. Highly recommended.

I've been a member for 2 years

Sydney does an excellent job with the website, social media, content and motivation.

I've been a member for 2 years. I can't find much time to practice (shame on me). I wish we had this website 15 years ago.

Still, after practicing here and there for 2 years, my friends and family are impressed with what I've accomplished.
I can play nice and beautiful songs that will trick people into think I've studied piano for years. However, all my piano lessons came from SGP.

The hardest part is learning how to play with both hands independently. I almost gave up. Once you pass it (with the videos that Sydney has) you're free to learn a lot of songs. You just need some dedication though.

Sydney, you're a star and have a great project =)
Thank you for providing us with such great product =)

Sydney is the best

Sydney is the best! Her videos are fun and so motivational. Her piano skill is uncanny and it just motivates everyone to practice more until it becomes muscle memory. The fact that she loves video game piano music is awesome because I too grew up listening to video game music and wanted to learn every song on the piano.

I love Sydney Senpai. Thank you.

My biggest success because of Smart Game Piano (aka Sydney Senpai) would be playing Zelda Breath of the Wild Rito Village (Night Version) for my FAMILY when they came from Seattle to visit me in Austin. My dad said ‘look at him go’ :)

Describing Smart Game Piano: like all the video game lessons in midi from one site, slowed way down so EVEN YOU can learn it :)

Amazing for learning by yourself - especially if you love videogame music!

A Major succes I got from SGP is learning a full song from start to finish (more than once) without further hindrances other than practicing it, I consider it a success because it wasn't easy finishing a track before when I only had access to unplayable versions of it (Synthesia videos on YouTube with MIDIs that weren't intended for a human to possibly play, or stuff for absolute professionals), or a version which I practiced for weeks that suddenly had a part that's not physically possible that would deliver heavy blows to my motivation (if this explanation makes sense).
With SGP I could see the difficulty level of a song from the start, the difficulty remained steady throughout the arrangement, and I could divide practicing a song into balanced parts!

SGP is a site filled with detailed video tutorials of piano tracks from videogames (and a few anime tracks), you basically get quality transcriptions for all the tracks you know and love from various games, each track is divided into multi-part video tutorials which attentivelycover all the aspects that you need to learn, making the learning experience easy and smooth.
Furthermore, a community exists for the site where you can share your covers or progress and get feedback and motivation from the other members!
Learning piano through tracks you love is the best way to study, and SGP is the best place to do it if you love videogame music.

Smart Game Piano is a fun way to learn…

Smart Game Piano is a fun way to learn piano without having any experience. There are intermediate and difficult songs as well, but I started without much experience and am learning quickly and thoroughly enjoying myself. After one week I have learned one of my favorite video gaming songs ever... Song of Healing from Majora's Mask. It feels awesome and I'm excited to keep learning more of the songs I grew up listening to.

I would have to say the biggest success…

I would have to say the biggest success is actively learning the piano. It’s easy to start something but constantly working to get better at it is a challenge. Smart Game Piano always has new music to try and that’s really motivating me to keep on going!
On the surface it is a website dedicated to learning to play video game music via piano. However, it’s much deeper than that. It’s rooted in trying to be the best version of you that you can be and that’s achieved through learning to play music, exercising you brain, and just having fun!

My experience after one year subscription to SmartGamePiano.com

SmartGamePiano is a website where you can learn how to play videogame songs on the piano from scratch trough tutorial videos and/or music sheets. It has tones of songs and Sydney, the person in charge is a great teacher. You also have the possibility to get into a private Facebook group where you will find the rest of "smartist" constantly sharing their progress on different songs and encouraging each other all the time. Really motivating. It has helped me learn piano and train my focus capacity (it's mandatory to be able to be totally focused to be able to play an entire song from start to finish). I've been subscribed for a year now and have absolutely no plans on unsubscribing any soon. It's awesome :)!

Smart Game Piano is top tier

1) personally speaking I feel like SGP has enabled me to be more accountable to my practice routine. I’m super passionate about music in that I’m constantly writing and currently preparing an audition for my masters at Berklee, however, my discipline in practice with the piano fell to side until I found SGP. Now, I’m practicing every day with music that I am genuinely excited about.

2) I’ve actually recommended SGP to my long time friend, don’t know if he’s checked it out yet, and I just explained it as having an on demand learning guide for all of the best examples of video game music. I also told him that you as an instructor are top notch and that you make it incredibly easy to learn even if he doesn’t have the theory/sheet music stuff down comfortably.

Educative, entertaining, progressive, smart

I think my biggest success was finding the rhythm in music. Through that, I started to understand the music and so, learning to play isn't only pushing buttons like a robot, I have more insight and can thin outside of the box and be more creative.
Smart Game Piano is an ideal platform for a piano enthusiast who doesn't have to have any experience with playing yet. The tutorials are easy to understand and personalized (unlike other YouTube tutorials). The amazing thing about SGP is that you can learn how to play the most iconic pieces from your favourite videogames.

"Tune your mind"

Smart game piano is a fun and easy way to learn all of your favorite video game songs.
From Final Fantasy to Legend of Zelda. It's always fun to see people's faces when I start playing. Being able to play piano is so satisfying.
The first video of every lesson is always going to be free on YouTube. So what are you waiting for?! ^_^

Smart Game Piano is great!

Smart Game Piano is great! Learning Xion's theme from kingdom hearts has been my biggest success so far. Learning it has taught me so much and it improved my piano skills greatly. I also love the song so much I play it at least once a day on my piano.
I would recommend smart game piano to a friend because it's an awesome learning tool that is great for all levels of piano players. Its affordable, easy to learn and you get to play the piano immediately instead of having to learn to read music first, which is what everyone wishes to do when they start learning piano. They just want to play, and smart game piano allows you to do that.
