Surpassing The Beginner Piano Barrier

By Andy Penbram


The basics of beginner piano can be learned in quite a short time. After roughly two or three classes with a personal piano teacher you should have learned how to find every one of the notes are and as well the easiest way to play some basic tunes, maybe even with two hands at the same time. I myself have made a video showing you the way to play the basics of piano in under ten minutes.

The hard part comes when you start to play with both hands as one and you would like to advance further. For those who are learning with a classical piano tutor they will without doubt be given 1 or 2 of set pieces to learn. First you will have to be taught how to play the right hand part on its own. Practicing it time after time again till you can play it with no hesitation. After that you'll do the same with the part for the left hand. This is a touch more difficult for most individuals but after a while it gets a whole lot simpler.

Now the fun begins... Placing it all together. You can compare that to riding a cycle. One day it will all just come together but until then, you could find the training process a little slow.

If you are being taught at home with a home study course or a dvd then you may about definitely be mastering various musical styles or genres at the same time. The basics of piano learning stay the same though. Learning to play easy tunes and chords in the right hand and playing a basic bass line with the left. When it comes to combining the left hand with the right you won't think it as complicated as brushing your hands whilst learning set classical pieces. You will be playing a ton faster by doing this.

To become somewhat more advanced in this style you'll have to incorporate a melody in your right hand with the chords which you may find a little difficult. Or instead often you will be playing just the melody in the right hand and you'll be combining the bass line and the chords in the left. It is the combining of the 2 things in one hand that you are going to find most troublesome of all but you'll find that over time this method will permit you to move on considerably faster and will give you a solid background in piano playing.

Once you have become skilled then you will without doubt outgrow the study course and will then gain from attending regular one on one piano tuition with a personal teacher.
