How to play basic piano quick
Hi James,
This program is pricey, but pretty good as a chord method (no, I do not sell it). However, it is probably not available for overseas purchase, problem being that the tape/dvd players run on different systems here and abroad, which will be true of anything else as well. However, you could contact them and see. Make sure you click on the sidebars for the description of the program to see if that is the type of program you are interested in.
To me, a good chord program should include at least the amount of music training that one would need to play a band instrument (i.e. note-reading, key signatures, time signatures, etc.), especially if you intend to use this method for learning new music (as opposed to just playing music you already know) .

The trouble with using just a book is that unless it has tons of good pictures, it will not even come close to a good video/dvd method, or a good private teacher. Bear in mind that NO chord method will turn you into a classical concert pianist–these methods are aimed mostly at the recreational piano player. Also, NO method is truly “quick”–you still have to put in the practice time. The more practice time you put in daily, the faster you will become proficient.
The hard part is trying to find a good chord method. It is very difficult to find unbiased reviews of these methods because 1) many of these methods are not available through normal bookstore/music store channels, and 2) most classical piano teachers (which are most of your private piano teachers, come to think of it) tend to look down on chord methods in general.
However, for what you seem to want to do, a good chord method is probably what you’re looking for. You might see if you and your girlfriend can learn together.
