Easy way to learn to play the piano for absolute beginners?

I think there’s two options for you:

- Learn the chords for piano. Here’s a good web sites for that:  http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/pi...

http://www.8notes.com/piano_chord_chart/

- The other way it’s to use the MIDIs. MIDI it’s like a digital score. Here’s the steps for that:

1- Search the WEB for the song you like to learn in http://www.midisite.co.uk/

2- Open the file in this software: “Sweet Sixteen MIDI Sequencer 3.3.2” that you can download free in http://www.ronimusic.com/download.htm#DL...

3- After that, go to the “Grid” section and you’ll see all the notes you need to play for that song displayed in a keyboard inside of the software. All you have to do its repeat the notes displayed.

I learn to play piano like this on my on. You should try it.

Answer 8

find middle c or have someone help you find it.  Then label the keys to the right d e f g a b till you get to c and start over.  Then from middle c to the left would be   b a g f e d till you get back to c again.  The black keys are sharps and flats and they are usually right next to the natural keys.

If you are willing to spend some bucks, you can get a piano style keyboard and teaching software for your computer.  I have one called Miracle Piano that is great.
