Steps to learn piano?

Question

Hey I'm sort of a beginner with piano, but I'm curious the steps that you take if you were to get a private tutor are? The things that you learn like scales, finger technique, etc. I'm sure I'll be able to find the resources to learn them, I just need to know the most successful way to learn.

Answer 1

I learn from ear. Not everyone is good at this method, however. Usually you can find someone on Youtube, you know that site that almost ever teen goes on, and just search for your favorite piano tune. Make sure to put "tutorial" after the song name so you can be taught.

Answer 2

listen to your piano teacher.. yup thats all xDD

Answer 3

I think the key for me is practice. ^.^

Answer 4

Well, I've played piano for five years, but I remember when I was a beginner, I played simple and easy songs, nothing too difficult.  I actually first learned the black keys and then the white keys.  I made up songs using just one key, and I learned different types of notes by making up pictures that just look like them.  All I did was practice a little at a time.

Answer 5

Patience

Answer 6

im not a piano player, but my saxophone teacher taught me scales and everything. you dont necessarily need to prepare for lessons because you learn most things there.

Answer 7

Practice prctice practice!!!!

Answer 8

One great thing to learn to do (or try to do) is how play by ear. "Playing by ear" is an ability to play back and match a tune played. Try playing along with the radio or to your favorite songs. You'll gain a better sense of what sounds good, what different intervals should sound like, and have fun while learning how to play the piano. This may be a little hard at the beginning, but becomes truly useful in the future.
