The Most Important Things To Know About Beginners Piano Lessons

By Jenne Mae

Until recently, if wished to learn the piano unless you wished to employ a pricey personal piano instructor, your only option was to buy a teach-yourself piano lessons book. Now I have pile of these books on my shelf, I've tried utilizing them and my kids have tried utilizing them and, it seems to us, they all suffer from the same intrinsic flaw.

It is obvious really, as soon as you think about it. What you are trying to understand from these bookds is how to produce sounds.

Now the top way of understanding anything is to copy a person who understands what they are doing. I'm not talking about parrot-like copying, naturally you definitely need to realize what it is you're doing, but you need an example to emulate so that you learn that you're doing it correctly.

Now, the main issue with obtaining your beginners piano lessons from a book is that the book doesn't do any speaking. Always have been, always will be. And it's just not possible to provide an example of a passage of music that you can emulate from a printed paper book.

This is the reason why its always been so difficult to understand how to play piano from a teach yourself piano book. The two media - visual printed material and auditory input - are mutually exclusive.

And once you are a beginner and have a small amount of understanding or experience of musical notation, it's crucial that you have some sort of auditory guidance that you can follow. Now however, with the new, downloadable, courses of beginners piano lessons that you can buy for less that the price of a single lesson from a teacher, everything is different.

Each lesson contains some text, explaining what it is that you're about to learn. A basic piece of music that you will have to look at and start to understand and magically, a button you click on to hear the piece being played as it should be, by a professional. Fantastic.

Now you are completely ready to have a go for yourself. You can play it over and over again, listening to the clip whenever you need to, until you get it right and your understanding and ability take a leap forward.

In this way you may be playing songs that you have always desired in a matter of hours, not weeks as it would have been with the old book system. There's just no comparison between the new beginners piano lessons and the old, defunct, book type. So it up to you now, just download, listen and away to go, playing as you'd always dreamed that you could. - 32526
