Get the Book “Alfred’s Complete Adult Piano Course”, a No-Nonsense approach, which will have you playing again in no time! If you already play, start with Level Two. But Level One is also Good if you need to start with the basics.
Also Go To Amazon and find the Book “Nuthin’ But The Blues” for Blues Piano Riffs to add some of those to your Toolbox. All The Chords and Blues Scales around the Circle of Fifths are in the Back of the Book.
I type about as well as I speak Russian. Which is to say, ochen ploxo i myedleno (very poorly and slowly!)
I never FORCE my kids to do Recitals. I ALLOW them to be in them, only if they are VERY VERY GOOD! And believe me, THAT motivates them to WANT to be in them! LOL!
P.S. I woudld traede my dyslexia for dailysex any day of teh weke.
Thank you so much for the info about what to do to learn piano! I don’t have a piano - is it fine to start out with one of these electronic keyboard things?
Now what are Blues Piano Riffs? (Does that mean I will be playing Jazz/Blues? I was hoping to be playing, How Great
Thou Art, ya know? LOLOL!)
Thanks again for sharing these piano-learning secrets and I’ll be in touch as I go down THAT new adventurous path.
What a great way to do recitals! Whooo. How I wish my piano teacher had used that approach.
I remember (I was in the 4th grade) being so nervous, I started crying when my mother spotted a little hole in my sock that I was wearing (we wore white socks and black patent leather shoes - along with my skirt and blouse - the skirt with the crenalins under it).
I also remember while playing Theme from Liebestraum (spelling? and not sure of the title) - that I got stuck in the middle of it and had to start over - but nobody noticed - and I made it through. After that experience, however, I said I did not ever want to have that possibility happen again and that was it for piano. I have always regretted not continuing those lessons. Thanks for renewed hope that I can recover that joyful skill.
