Question

What's the best way to learn to play the piano?

Answer 1

Take piano lessons. Learn notes. Practice scales as much as you can and play at least twice during the week- especially when beginning.

Try to play duets with other piano students (at your level) because you can learn a lot from other people.

Answer 2

Certainly, take lessons.

I don't know what your goals are, but consistent practice is best.  For me, that's 20 minutes a day.  Enough to make progress, not enough to burn me out.

Practice may include review, but effortful practice is how you make progress.  You must learn new skills.  Your teacher will guide you to new skills to learn.  Ask what skills the new assignment teaches.

Answer 3

I learned by sitting down at one and experimenting with a few things first. I actually learned from a computer program called Piano Discovery. It came with a keyboard and it was a step-by-step interactive guide. It was the best way I learned.

Answer 4

take beginner classes or if you know the keys, just buy a piano book with with songs, practices and other things to help practice piano!
