I want to learn the Piano... (effect, guitarist, shows, quote)

Dimitri · 12-23-2007, 02:36 PM

I cant take it anymore.... I want to play beautiful music whit my piano, but i cant play

It really pains me to listen to Beethoven, Chopin or even Glass, wanting to play those beautiful melodies for myself and just failling because i have no training.

Does anyone know a free piano learning site that works well?

Hmmm...i see nobody knows any.

How about an effective method used by teachers that i should look for?

piano is an instrument I wouldn't really advise you to take up all by yourself - invest in some classes. practicing with a teacher is the best you can do! only later, when you feel brave enough, I'd recommend venturing on your own.

if you're short on time, 45min once a week will do just fine - as long as you're self-disciplined and practice at home over and over again

A teacher would help alot

I have this portable grand piano that has a learning softare in it. It shows what keys to press for songs in it's memory. I learned the easy part of ''for elise'', but then the difficulty jumped and i was like a deer looking at headlights

I tried to do the hard part but i just coudnt do it... My fingers are just to slow and clumsy. I want someone to teach me finger work (haha) ...or w/e its called :P

If you don't have time for lessons (1/2 hour once or twice a week) then you don't have time to practice. That = no improvement. There are three mandatory aspects to learn an instrument: motivation, discipline and love for music.

It has been my experience that most people who are self-taught do not play well. They almost always play with very poor quality.

The hardest thing about learning as an adult is disciplining yourself to daily practice. When you have a JOB and/or FAMILY, it is harder to commit yourself to sit down 30 minutes per day (or more) to practice ... to build the skills that are required to play the piano.

My jobs keep me from practicing as I should. I am glad that I learned what I did as a child and as a teenager.

If you want to learn as an adult, get a good teacher. Take a lesson once a week. And practice at least 30 minutes per day between lessons.

piano is fairly easy to learn, if you know the requirements and such. But once you start, the only thing left is getting better and i suppose you'll be fine after that.
