For anyone interested in learning piano accompaniment I recommend "Rhythmic Patterns" from David Sprunger at Piano Lessons Unlimited. http://www.medford.net/djsprmain/musicunlimitedhomepage/index.html. You don't need to be able to read notes for this course. He teaches various patterns based on chords. Ends with applying the patterns you learned to your own arrangements. It does start at the beginning level put quickly moves to the intermediate level. Lots of free learning and pay-per-view lessons on his website.
StarkeeperI can personally recommend David Sprunger's method. I have had a link to his website on mine for a few months now.
However, he has just come out of a serious major operation and thankfully is back on course (!). I copy here his letter to me and his subscribers.

Letter from the author:
I've gotten quite a few emails from many of you in the last two months asking
why there have been no recent updates. Here's the deal...
Life is an amazing journey, and as such, I got quite a surprise call from the
doctor a month and a half ago. He said "David, you're not going to believe
this, but you've got colon cancer." Wow! Doesn't this kind of stuff only
happen to other people? I'm only 38, I've got a wife and four kids... what's
happening God?
Needless to say, many things have transpired since that time, including major
surgery. However, I'm now at home and feeling fantastic. Our family even went
for a 2 mile walk yesterday! The doctor called and said he's happy to report
that I am totally healed and won't need any further treatment. I am so
thankful. I'm getting used to a few new things (diet, etc.) but I GET TO
LIVE!
Here's what I've learned...
Life is precious. I knew that before, but it has become very real to me. I've
got to tell you that I was so amazed at the peace God gave me through it all.
I specifically asked my kids to pray that I wouldn't be afraid in the
operating room. There I was laying on the operating table with my arms
strapped down looking at all the surgical instruments and I thought... "I am
about to freak out!" But the freak-out never came. Instead, God gave me
incredible peace, even joy. In fact, the anesthesiologist had heard that I
was a musician and asked me to sing a song before he knocked me out! I
laughed, and sang "Jesus, lover of my soul." I sang it with all my heart. I
will never forget that experience.
By the way, the doctor said that because I had gotten a colonoscopy (the
"scope" that checks your colon) they had caught the cancer in the very
earliest stages and were able to cure me 100%. So take it from me - get the
scope if you're over 40! Don't chicken out... it could save your life.
So what about the piano lessons?
Well, I can hardly believe it, but I am feeling better than I have in years
and am getting ready to make major updates to the online piano and keyboard
lessons. Watch your email for updates within the next few weeks... in the
meantime, eat your fiber!
Just a reminder... You can download the first 40 minutes of >>VIDEO<< lessons

Enjoy your day today... every day is precious!
