Learn Piano
If you are
beginning to learn how to play piano, the following
suggestions will be most helpful.
The first thing you
need to do to is find a teacher who is qualified.
Many people will try to tell you that you can learn from
a book, or by playing by “ear.” It certainly is possible
to learn this way, but probably not to learn well, and
probably not to become an excellent pianist. You will
learn quicker and better if you take lessons from a
certified piano teacher.
If you are thinking
of starting your child on piano lessons, do not make the
mistake of taking lessons from a friend who plays, just
to “try it out,” unless of course the friend is a
qualified teacher. If you child has a proficiency and
decides to stick with it, they will have a hard time
unlearning bad habits they acquire from an unqualified
teacher. Learn how to play piano the correct way from the
start and you will not regret it.

Practice,practice
The second
thing to do play piano seems obvious, but it is where a lot
of new students go wrong when starting piano. You need to
practice regularly! You are probably thinking “of course,”
but manypeople take up an instrument and fail to make the
commitmentpractice as they should. Here
are some tips
to make the most
of each
practice session Practice at least twenty minutes a day.
Also, do not practice when you are tired or distracted if
you can avoid it. Start each practice session with
warm-up exercises. They routinely work through the pieces
you are learning.
Set
Goals
When
starting any new instrument, and when you learn piano, it is
important to set goals for yourself, but make those goals
realistic. If you are learning a new piece, set a certain
amount of sections that you will learn every day, whether it
be pages or measures or lines. Keep these goals in line with
your level of ability. Your teacher should be able to help
you set these types of goals.
Practice Sight
Reading
It is
important when you learn how to play piano to work on sight
reading skills. When you can read music easily, you will be
able to learn piano pieces quicker. Work on sight-reading by
having some books that are at a slightly easier skill level,
and practice playing songs you have never seen
before.
Finally,
the last tip will help your interpretation of musical pieces
as you learn piano. If you can, read about the composer that
you are playing. As you understand their personality and
their life, you will be able to interpret their music more
authentically. Learning about the composer will help you to
approach their songs more realistically.
As with
most things in life, becoming a great pianist takes
dedication and perseverance. The skills a new pianist needs
to learn piano will not come over night. Spend time honing
your skills, make a commitment not to quit, and soon you
will be playing piano with the best of
them!
