You Can Teach Yourself Piano

Then answer to the question "Can you teach yourself piano" is absolutely Yes! with perhaps a few exceptions. Surely if you want to be a concert pianist and play difficult classical music you will need years and years of study and lots of quality instruction.

However if your goal is to play popular music for fun and enrichment, play in a band, or you just want to  impress your friends then read on...

If you are reading this article I am assuming that you have the desire to learn how to play piano, that you have little or no knowledge about playing keyboard instruments and are willing to take a little direction to help you reach your goal.

A great first step would be to enter your e-mail address and name and register for free lesson alerts from Personal Piano Professor. I will send you periodic lessons and videos to help you learn to play and your e-mail address is secure.

Perhaps the first step to learning anything is to seek out a little guidance and help and you have taken the first step already. Congratulations!!

It may seem obvious but if you are going to teach yourself piano you will need an instrument.

If you are lucky enough to have the space and can afford an acoustic piano you are well on your way. There is nothing like the elegance and tone of a well maintained acoustic piano.

If you are considering the purchase of an acoustic piano it is wise to seek out a reputable dealer to help you with your choice.

A Digital Alternative.

Fortunately for those of us with space and money limitations there are hundreds of makes and models of digital pianos.

These amazing instruments are easy to move and do not require the maintenance and space of an acoustic piano.

They are also a gateway to the digital world of learning software, music production, and many other helpful and fascinating software applications.

Still more choices..

If your space and financial resources are at a minimum or your are not sure if you will take to learning to play there are lots of models of electronic keyboards that are filled with great sounds and features and can start at a price as low as 100.00.

Ready to start?

So you have got an instrument to play on and you are ready to begin so lets get started!
