Dear Reader,
You're ready for taking piano lessons. You asked for informations here and there, maybe at your local music instruments store, and found out how expensive it was. I played piano for ten years, so I know what it's like. The good news is you can learn Piano by yourself. Here's how.
Learning how to play piano using online tutorials should require :
Video tutorials
Without movies showing you where to position your fingers on the piano, it's almost impossible to learn. Fixed photographies are not enough. You must see someone playing live in order to learn the basics correctly.
Step-by-step lessons
You launch your first video. The first lesson says "play like Mozart", you see fingers covering your screen between white and black keys and moving all the place with a little voice inviting you to place your hands like if you were a Yoga Master.
You must start learning piano with the basics. I found many online methods which were not teaching tools. And of course, what happens is you get quickly discouraged.
Quality Tracks
Nice original tracks carefully chosen, which are easy to play while nice to hear, will help your motivation grow as you learn.
Games
Don't we say "play" piano ? You must enjoy your lessons. Some theory is necessary but if the whole tutorial is boring you'll drop it down. Watch for games.
Not expensive
Well, you're your own teacher, so a real good piano method should be affordable.
If you gather these 5 points 99% of the lessons available online will not make it.
My suggestion
Here's what I consider as a worthy piano tutorial. It's named Rocket Piano. And was created by Ruth Searle, a professional teacher. Give it a try.
I hope this article on how to learn playing piano online was helpful.
Pianoly yours,
