learn how to play the piano

So I took my first piano lesson today and I am surprised at how much I remembered from the violin. It was great. The instructor is FANTASTIC. I practically learn how to play Yankee Doodle, by reading sheet music, in one day! I’m so proud.

Just sitting at the library, listening to Piano Music. I can’t wait until after finals is over. I wish one day I can play like this.

Synthesia is a game that teaches you to play the piano using falling notes. No sheet music reading is required. With it, you can:

• Learn to play songs using a musical keyboard connected to your computer.
• Keep track of your progress in every song with per-song scoreboards.
• Slow, fast-forward, and rewind songs while learning new parts.
• Practice left and right hand parts together or separately.
• Try out any MIDI file you can find on the Internet.
• Use it on either your PC or Mac.

It’s not done yet, but I’m working hard to finish it. Don’t let that stop you though. You can always download the latest version and try it out.

Man, I want to keep going, but I think that should be way more then enough…..haha. Years…

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play the piano. I remember growing up and my friends not being able to play after school because they had to go to their piano lessons. Oh how badly I wanted to go too. I’m just waiting until I can afford them now. I’m almost 30.

I’ve had a piano for 10 years now but never learned how to play it. I know. Kinda pathetic… I figured since I had some free time rite now, it would be the best time to learn. Where should I start? Any tips and cheap piano lessons?

I have always had an affinity for music and I enjoy singing. Learning how to play the piano would be the cherry on top for me.

I am amazed that I still remember most of my piano classes from 2.5 years ago. I picked up the pieces all the way to Cafe Vienna.

I don’t know how long before I can continue to learn and finish book 1. The plan is to finish all 3 course books, and then I will consider this goal achieved.

So I have basically no income right now, but I have been browsing digital pianos. It seems that there are a couple quite decent ones in the 800-900 dollar range. Anyone have advice on Digital Pianos?

my mother got a grand piano when we moved into our new house when i was like 1 or something. and she would always play it and it would sound so pretty. she has tried to teach me how to play it but she’s not a very good teacher and she also doesn’t have the time b/c of her work and stuff. but i just really want to learn how to play.
