Self-Taught Piano

If you know how to play chords on guitar playing chords on piano is very easy. And the keys are in order so playing melody is easy too. That’s how I learned how to play piano.

My siblings taught themselves (I took lessons.) They only took lessons after they could play by ear, to improve their playing skills. They are much better at piano than I am, I never graduated year 4. So starting with lessons doesn’t always work out for the best anyway.

Just get yourself an easy book. If you practice an hour a day, and that means every single day, it should take about a year to become good enough to play easy pieces.

Also, fingering is really important. Don’t get into lazy fingering habits in the beginning, or you’ll just have to relearn fingering later on.

You should start out with at least a few lessons. If you teach yourself you might not get the proper technique. It is much easier to learn it properly from the beginning than have to unlearn a bad happen and replace it with a good one.
