If you have ever attempted learning an instrument before you'll realize there are a big heap of different things to learn and it is not just as simple as learning the right actions.
Piano is not different, there's so many things you'll have to learn, whether its how to read music, learn piano notes, picking up the rhythm or style of a song or getting the tempo and timing right.
There's numerous different ways that you can master the piano, so we will be having a look at the various approaches you can take as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
Learning From A Book
Learning from a book is seen by some as the 'traditional way ' of learning the best way to play any instrument. I have heard of numerous folk who had to sit in front of their piano and read their lessons and learn to play the set pieces time after time.
There are advantages and drawbacks to this approach.
The benefits are that after you purchase a book, you own it. You do not have to pay weekly payments or regular costs.
You can use the book at any time, its never unavailable so you are free to just pick it up and start practicing whenever you are ready or it suits your plan. No set times, it may be early in the morning or late at night.
Sounds good right? But there are drawbacks to the book.
Books contain a finite quantity of info. You could come across an issue that isn't covered by the book. Or you might want to learn some music that isn't in the book. In this example, you are going to need to go to somewhere or some other person to discover what you need to understand.
Also a book does not push you to keep going, can't tell if you what a song should sound like or if you're playing a selected piece in the correct way.
So you have to take those things into account.
In the following article, we will be looking at the benefits of DVD's and teaching yourself.
Until then, keep at it and don't forget to practice!
