How to Play Piano:
1. Ok, so the first step may seem obvious, but it's an important one. First of all you must
realize that learning the piano is a passion and a lifelong pursuit. There are many courses
out there which make learning how to play piano easy and fun, but you must have the
dedication and mind set to truly apply yourself to learning how to play the piano.
Understand that there will be some challenges involved: physical, mental, and spiritual.
So stick with the game plan, follow the lessons, and above all don't give up!
2. Second. If you're going to learn how to play piano, you're going to need to get
something to play on. A real traditional piano can be super expensive ranging from
several hundred dollars all the way to hundreds of thousands of dollars. But don't panic,
there are many cheaper options out there also. You could for instance by a nice sounding
keyboard. If you have a Midi interface on your computer, you could just buy a keyboard
controller, and purchase an amazing sounding soft synthesizer. Alternatively maybe a
friend could let you come over and play on theirs. How about inquiring at the local
community college if you could practice on theirs. In short, the instruments are there, just
make sure you have access, or your piano learning journey won't get you very far.
3. Figure out where and how you are going to get your training. There are many options.
The traditional of course is to hire a piano teacher. You could look through the yellow
pages, classified ads, local search engine search, etc. Human one on one tuition is great of
course, but tends to be more expensive, and not as flexible as far as scheduling is
concerned. For learning how to play piano, I personally recommend doing self-taught
online lessons. These have come along a great deal in recent years. Many of these courses
teach you how to play hit songs right from the start, and only later get more into music
theory, which can be a huge confidence booster for the student.
4. Alright, so once you have made up your mind about getting serious and learning how to
play the piano, and have gotten yourself an instrument on which to practice, as well as
access to either a teacher, or online piano course, it's time for the next step. Schedule
your practice times! This is super important, and can literally make or break the learning
experience. Set up a certain time of day, each day that you will dedicate to practice. I
recommend practice for thirty minutes each day, as well as a one hour lesson every other
day. At first this will seem tedious, but once you have your routine in place, it will
become just a part of your daily life, and that's exactly how it needs to be if you want to
truly learn how to play the piano.
5. Another very important part of the whole piano learning experience is to make the
process a passion, and not just a means to an end. Two or three times a week, immerse
yourself in the piano life. By this I mean, listen to a famous composer or musician, watch
a documentary on pianos, maybe even read an article or two on the history of piano. You
will be amazed on what a difference it will make to your entire mentality of learning how
to play piano. The more you learn, the more you will want to learn more. Learning how
to play piano, is truly an amazing experience.
