Review title: There are no shortcuts
Product review: I believe there is a difference between plunking out a few notes to Jingle Bells or Happy Birthday with the right hand while playing 3 note triads with the left hand and 'playing' the piano. Nothing comes without practice and good piano 'playing', regardless of whether it's classical, pop, jazz, rock or whatever, requires skill and practice in timing, technique, dynamics, and (when reading from pop or jazz fake books or lead sheets) chord theory. This stuff is basically what you would learn in a first lesson from any piano teacher. Playing something that is 'recognizable' as opposed to something that is tasteful are 2 different things completely and I think most people should aim for the latter. For a beginner, this is a very easy way to develop bad habits with fingerings and chord voicings that will be hard to break later on. Sorry Scott, but nothing comes that easily.
