Learning to Play Piano

People have different passions in life but there are those who love to listen to different piano music. If you're one of them, then you probably like to learn to play the piano, but how?

Many individuals would like to learn to play piano but they don't know where to begin. There are also those who previously had piano lessons but weren't able to complete all the lessons because they simply got bored or they already spent a lot of time learning but to no avail. But with a little shove in the right direction, you can learn to play a piano.

Firstly, you need to know that there are two ways to play the piano - by note reading or with chords. What would you like to do? You have to answer this question. If you simply want to play existing piano music, you must know how to read piano notes. On the other hand, if you want to write inspiring piano music, you must be able to understand the piano chords. If you can learn how to read notes as well as the chords, the better.

Still, if you want to learn to play piano quickly and easily, learn the chords first. By doing so, you will know the different sounds of the chords. Note reading can be taken up later.

One way to learn how to play piano is from a piano teacher. You need to find a reliable and qualified piano teacher to ensure that you're given good lessons. The teacher can give you lessons at home or in a studio. Choose a comfortable set up so that you can learn without feeling any pressure. If you're reason in learning to play the instrument is simply for fun, hiring a piano teacher is not a good idea. You can opt for less expensive means like a piano book or CDs and DVDs or even with online tutorials.

I you decide to hire a piano teacher you will need to ask the teacher if he or she is teaching chord-based lessons and then set realistic goals as to what you can accomplish using a piano teacher.

Another option is to learn lessons online. This is also a cheaper alternative in learning to play piano. You can choose the most convenient time to learn to play the instrument and at your chosen pace. You will save money and time through online lessons. If you're motivated enough and you're comfortable learning alone, this method will work for you.

When learning to play piano and other musical instruments, you should make it fun. The entire learning process should be exciting for you. Once you've set goals, you can start taking lessons immediately and practice regularly. Don't get discouraged if you encounter some challenges along the way; this is normal.

Have a positive attitude and choose the best method to learn to play piano for you. By having the right attitude, you can overcome challenges in learning the chords or the notes. As mentioned earlier, you can learn the chords first and then later on, you can learn to read music. In a week or month's time, you might even be writing your own piano music.
