Learning the Piano

January 24th, 2010 by admin

So you’ve decided to learn to play the piano. Fantastic, you’ll soon be a great musician and become one of those people who can impress the crowd and always stand out at a party! After trying and failing on several not-so-miracle on-line “learn the piano in a day/week/hour” programs, you’ve realised that you were only waiting for the right piano teacher to come along all that time anyway. Or was that a keyboard teacher you were looking for? In fact is that old keyboard you pulled from the attic actually going to catapult you to stardom after all or will you need to get the real thing now to get you on the road to becoming Jools Holland? You’ll need to know if that piano teacher will teach you on that old keyboard, or whether buying a new keyboard, or do you mean a piano, is the right thing to do before you find that keyboard teacher after all. Suddenly it all seems like becoming a dream flung far out into the rubbish bins of Tin Pan Alley.

Ok, so the choice is confusing but the answer for you really needn’t be. I hope that speaking from my experience as a teacher of both the keyboard and the piano for the last ten years will go some way towards helping you to find the right instrument for you right now. First you need to decide whether it’s going to be a real piano, i.e. an organicĀ  instrument made from wood and iron that resembles the family of instruments that has existed in Western music for over 250 years now, or a keyboard, really a generic term that refers to all instruments with a scale of keys laid out in black and white, although here we are talking about the “electronic” variety that produce sounds as diverse as a Kraftwork bass-line laid under a few bars of Beethoven’s 2nd Piano Concerto, made to sound as though it’s being played 64,000 feet underneath the ocean.
