Learn Piano Online With Your Computer

By Andy Penbram


Up till only in the near past the only possible way to actually learn piano was to go to a teacher for piano lessons. The lessons would sometimes be around an hour long and you would go to lessons regularly. You can today download whole piano courses off the Net which will teach you ways to play the piano from a complete starter level and will lead you right up to a high intermediate level all on your own without having to see a regular professional piano teacher.

These courses are comprised of a collection of audio and video files with examples of what you have to be playing and how to play it. There is a complete printable manual with its own lessons well laid out and a whole crop of short exercises and pieces to learn to play.

This strategy of being taught has a good deal of benefits over standard piano classes, for example, 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 next lesson or the next 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 more time 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.
