You can teach yourself how to play beginner piano in a relatively short time. After about two or three classes with a personal piano tutor you ought to have learned how to find each and every one of the notes are and as well how to play certain basic tunes, possibly even with both hands jointly. There is a video I made showing you  how to do this in under 10 minutes. Take a look at this short video here – how to play the piano for beginners.

The hard part comes when you begin to play with both hands at once and you want to progress further. For those who are learning with a classical piano teacher they will no doubt be given a 1 or 2 of set pieces to learn. First you will need to learn to play the right hand part on its own. You will need to practice this over and over until it becomes simple for you. After this you will have to learn the left hand part. This is a bit more tricky for most people but after a time it gets considerably simpler.

Then comes the tricky part… Playing  both hands at the same time. This can be compared to learning to ride a cycle. You will find that suddenly it will all fall into place and that you will be able to play the piece without difficulty and without thinking too much.

You will be learning in several styles or genres at once if you have decided to make use of one of the home study courses available. The essentials nevertheless will stay the same. You will need to play a simple tune or some easy chords in the right hand and a simple bass line in the left. When it comes to combining the left hand with the right you won’t think it as complex as combing your hands whilst learning set classical pieces. This will get you playing a lot faster.

To become somewhat more advanced in this style you will have to incorporate a melody in your right hand with the chords which you may find a little tricky. Or instead occasionally you will be playing just the melody in the right hand and you will be combining the bass line and the chords in the left. It is the combining of both things in one hand that you will find most tricky of all but you will see that as time goes on this method will allow you to go forward a lot quicker and will give you a solid background in piano playing.

As soon as you have become skilled then you will without doubt outgrow the study course and will then benefit from taking regular one on one piano lessons with a professional teacher.
