Before you begin with anything, there will be a number of questions that will cloud your mind. This can be challenging to deal with, but if you want to be happy about learning piano, you have to be under the guidance of an experienced teacher. But this isn’t enough; you must practise the instrument regularly.

Keyboard or Piano – Start with whatever is at your disposal

There are alternatives available if you want to learn piano but don’t have the budget for a real piano. A keyboard or digital piano; you can start with whatever is at your disposal. It can be a great way to start learning and playing songs for beginners. While choosing the instrument, it is important to remember that you will be comfortable playing it with both hands. Piano, as an instrument, requires you to play with both hands right from the very first day of learning.

Learn the basics

To learn how to play songs on your instrument, you should learn how each key sounds when pressed down by your fingertips. You can do this by playing simple melodies while keeping track of what they sound like as they go along so that later you can identify them again under pressure when needed during performance situations such as recitals/concerts etc.

Learning to identify the notes on the piano is a good place to start, and it’s also easy. There are only twelve notes on a piano –  C, D, E flat ,E, F, F sharp, G, G sharp, A, B flat & B. These letters stand for certain notes that make up melodies when played with any instrument.

Set realistic targets

Setting realistic goals for yourself is one of the most effective methods to learn the piano. This can be difficult, especially if you’re new to this type of learning and don’t know where to start. However, setting yourself up for failure will only make it harder for you in the long run.

You should also be aware that asking for help is part of growing as an adult—and there are many ways we can do this! If one method doesn’t work out well enough on its own (or if someone else has even better ideas), then don’t be afraid to try something else! You might find that one approach works better than another after all, or maybe something completely different will work just as well. You’ll never know until you try it out!

Finally, don’t compare yourself with others who seem more experienced than yourself at first glance – everyone starts somewhere and has their own unique journey toward becoming successful musicians themselves (or anything else).

Choose a course that builds a strong foundation

There are a lot of different ways to learn piano, but the best way is often the most obvious: choose a course that builds a strong foundation. A good foundation will help you get through the difficult parts of learning and make it easier for you in the future.

Some courses build a strong foundation by teaching reading music, which is important because it helps you understand what notes sound like and allows for better understanding and playing of chords. If you’re learning piano as a beginner from an online teacher or tutor who doesn’t teach reading music as part of their lesson plan, this option may not be available for you!
