Beginner Piano Lesson – 5 Tips To Help Towards Teaching Yourself Piano

The common belief is that playing the piano is complex and difficult; in fact it is quite the opposite. However it does depend on who teaches you and what technique they use, believe me there is an easy way to learn to play the piano. The most important element is fun. Make it a fun thing to do and go at your own pace; don’t let your expectations run away from you. You will be able to play favourite songs in no time at all, weather you know all the Techno stuff or not.

If you are a beginner to playing the piano, remember this, take it one step at a time, spend time on each step and make sure you understand what you are learning before moving on. This article is the forth of a series of seven articles each containing a little music lesson to help you get started and hopefully enable you to teach yourself to play. Check out these articles, you will soon surprise yourself with your musical progress. When you do begin have a positive mind set, really want to do it. Go at your own pace this is not a race. Do not be intimidated by seeing professional musicians that can play amazingly fast. They all started from scratch and slowly. Look at them as your goal; do not believe that you will never be as good. You can be.

If you decide to learn from an online course you will be able to go over and over your lessons until you fully understand what you need to do. Remember this is at your own pace. It is always sensible to form a firm foundation of knowledge in anything you do. But don’t be put off by this, don’t put pressure on yourself. As I pointed out earlier you go at your own pace.

As for the cost of Piano Lessons, this should not be a problem as there are many inexpensive online piano courses which offer various ways to pay. In my view online piano courses are a much cheaper than offline lessons. And you learn at home; No pressure, no time limits, all at your pace.

Here are a few tips to start you off on your piano lessons.

1. Finger numbers; starting with your thumb this becomes finger number one. The index finger becomes number two, the middle finger  becomes number three, then all that’s left is finger number four and your pinkie is finger number five. The same numbers are used for the left hand, always the thumb is number one and the pinkie number five. Take note of this as most music courses use this finger numbering.

2. You can relate these finger numbers to Sheet Music. If you sit at your keyboard and locate the two black keys slightly left of centre and put your right hand thumb on the white key right of these black keys that will be the note E, now hold that position and place your other fingers on every alternate white key right to the little finger. These are the five treble leger lines you will see on sheet music usually remembered as Every Good Boy Deserves Favour; and the spaces in between your fingers are the spaces in between the leger lines, usually remembered as F.A.C.E.

3. From the above information you should be able to locate the note A from F.A.C.E. Play the Piano notes from this A, to the next A, including the black keys, they should read as A, Bb, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G# A, Note the black notes can be sharps or flats as they lie between main note keys. So you can see C#, “C sharp” can also be read as Db, “D flat” because it lies between C, and D, keys.

4. Look at your keyboard as you play from A, go right and play and say every note to the next A; and call the black notes sharp. Now play from that A, play back down, play and say this time call the black notes flat. Keep that in mind maybe write it down, but don’t worry about it, store this information, it will make sense later on.

5. If you remember you located two black keys left of centre of the keyboard. The white key immediately to the left of these two black keys is the note “C” in fact this C is called the middle C. and is your main reference point. Be sure to note this and remember it.

There you have your 5five tips to begin your musical journey. Plan your piano lessons. Doing this will keep you on course and you will progress and you will look forward to your next lesson. Remember this is your adventure, enjoy it have fun with it. Playing the piano is a wonderful experience.
