How to Learn the Piano by Yourself
Many try to teach themselves piano. Some may have taken lessons as a child, and now want to start again, others always dreamed of being able to play but were not able to earlier. Even though the most recommended action would be to go to a dedicated piano teacher for lessons, this is not always possible. So how do you go about it on your own? Here is a look at the three most important aspects when teaching yourself to play piano.
Learning The Piano in 20 Steps
Teaching yourself piano in 20 steps... (Eh? Can you really do that? )
Learning the piano, with or without a piano teacher, is a process that can be accomplished in any number of ways...

Piano Story of the Month
Always wanted to play the piano, never had the time.Hi,My name is Frank, 57 years old and I live in Belgium. In my young years, I always wanted to play the piano, but you know... The guitar was so much cooler by the Girls :) So I played the Guitar, campfire songs! I had no musical education or training except for 1 hour a week in high school. I am now at home with knee problems since December 7, 2020. and I was thinking "let's try the piano" I have time now. So I started to study a song by David Nevue, "Good Night Sweet Angel". He has so beautiful music. I purchase the sheet music and started to practice (I have a basic understanding of score writing). After two months this is the result:
