By Janett S. Francis


The best way to learn to play the piano is through taking instruction. You will not have much luck if you try to learn how to play piano on your own. It does take a professional piano instructor to help you overcome any barriers that might arise. Piano lesssons are best left to the experts.

There are 2 ways to learn to play the piano correctly. The primary way is through an individual face to face piano teacher. You will get 1 to 2 lessons a week. Lessons usually last anywhere from thirty to fourty minutes. The lessons sometimes begin with music theory and history. You pick up the basic piano chords and songs the teacher feels is satisfactory for your skill set.

This technique is effective, yet it can get a little uninteresting if the teacher forces the dedicated student to play music they do not like. This is a how most instructors teach and a big reason why most students give up on the piano, guitar and other musical instruments.

They see their best music artist using the instrument in a way they imaging themselves playing and are disappointed when they have to practice the classics or older music. Most piano instructors are way more mature and have a tough time associating with the more youthful generation and their music interests.

Another way of learning music is online through a comprehensive course. The retention is way higher with this strategy, as it not only teaches the fundamentals, but it also teaches how to play current music songs. When a young student learns a song from ColdPlay over Mozart, it will keep them more focused on the instrument.

This method is picking up steam and has been adopted by pro piano instructors around the world. They are finding online instruction to be similar to a face to face instructor. Instructors are finding students are practicing more frequently with online instruction and keeping what they learn.
