Learn Piano At Home On Your Computer

By Andy Penbram


Up until just recently the sole way to really learn piano was to go to a teacher for piano lessons. The lessons would typically be roughly an hour long and you would go to lessons regularly. You can nowadays download entire piano courses off the web which will teach you the right way to play the piano from a total starter level and will lead you right up to a high intermediate level all on your own without needing to see a regular private piano teacher.

These courses consist of a collection of sound and video files with examples of what you have got to be playing and the way to play it. There's a complete printable manual with its own lessons professionally laid out and an entire array of little exercises and pieces to learn how to play.

This technique of being taught has a good deal of benefits over standard piano classes, for instance, you do not need to turn up for your lesson without fail each week, you can have your lessons whenever you like..In addition you are not tethered to a certain lesson. As soon as you are ready for the subsequent lesson or the following stage then you can press on whenever you are prepared or contrarily if you're experiencing difficulty with a specific lesson then you can simply spend longer on it.

With the computer it can on occasions be a touch tough to read the music or the lessons off the computer screen simply because it can be tricky to position the computer screen over the piano as you would a piece of music, (unless you have an ipad naturally). For that reason I find it more helpful to print the lesson I'm going to be practicing on and use this version on the piano just as I'd a piano book or sheet music.

A further beneficial benefit of playing with the PC close by is the facility to record yourself. You'll be most likely shocked when you play back what you thought was a modest performance of your exercises or set pieces but this is a nice thing because it lets you put into perspective how far you've come and how far you have to go to learn piano and become a skillful player.

You might also want to consider playing some pieces that aren't part of the programme you are learning with. Aside from giving you the chance to play some pieces of your own choice this could also expand your suppleness on the keyboards. You will easily be able to get to an intermediate level of playing by employing a distance learning course and generally they are a superb way for anyone to learn piano by themselves.
