learn to play the piano better

I taught myself pretty much everything I know. I started in about 3rd grade, using the books that my mom and aunt got when they took lessons, and my grandma’s piano. In the summer between sixth and seventh grade, my dad bought me a Yamaha PSR 7 keyboard at a yard sale, complete with a bunch of books, from incredibly basic to medium difficulty. Then I inherited most of my grandma’s sheet music when she went to the Alzheimer’s care facility.

I can play all of the songs in the Phantom of the Opera Big Note book, a few from the regular Pirates of the Caribbean sheet music, among a lot of other, easier songs. Plus I can stumble through ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’...the guitar solo on piano sounds pretty cool (right before the “opera part”).

It’s really hard for me to teach myself if I have no idea what the final result is. I already know that the way I’ve learned has set me up with some handicaps if I ever do take lessons. I mainly just want to be able to play this song that is part of my grandma’s sheet music – “Mountain Shower”. I have no idea what it’s supposed to sound like, it’s not really a song, more like “rain” then “lightning”, etc. I think if I could play that, I would be pretty happy with my skills.

I can play piano already. I just want to play better:)

I played piano when I was a kid. I’m a music ed major and I’m required to pass a piano proficiency test before I graduate. But I stopped playing in middle school and I can read the notes but it’s SO hard for me to pick it back up. I’m still working on it but I really am struggling..

I played again, after a long long time! I am a Sunday School teacher, and I wanted to practice a carol with my kids. I had a copy of the score, and it was just the melody line, so I thought “I can probably do this”, and I could! And they sang along to it!

I am taking a class on Piano and I am already a lot better. It shouldn’t take long before I am satisfied.

I’m a piano lesson drop out. My friends all play rock instruments way better than me. My goal is to practice a lot so that by the end of the year we can all get together and play Dark Side of the Moon. Featuring me on keyboard.

I’ve got ‘Breathe’ down.
