Learning to play the piano?

Question

I have always wanted to play the piano. And now I want it more than ever but, I need a someone to teach me! I know it takes a while to become a great piano player. So I think I would need a private teacher what do you think? Also, Do you no anyone who can teach me?

Answer 1

First, are you decent at reading music written in both treble and bass clef? You can work on that on your own (http://www.musictheory.net )

It's difficult at first to play with both hands, but a great private teacher will definitely help you.

I enjoy warm-ups out of the Hanon Piano Exercise Books to prepare my hands. They're just 60 patterns you can do, but they're great.

Happy playing!

Answer 2

You could look up "how to play piano" on youtube, that should get you started.

Answer 3

A private teacher can facilitate any self learning you are able to accomplish. To find a teacher you can check your local music store and/or church and/or public school. They will be able to give you some suggestions. But remember, finding the right teacher is like finding the right doctor - you may have to take a few lessons with someone before you know whther it's a good match!
