Q. Maybe it's possible to learn by yourself? Do you know any websites?
A. Yes you can learn it yourself. I used to have a catch all answer to those kinds of questions, but yahoo no longer allows me to give citations to my own prior answers. So you are just going to have to fish around in my profile. I'll give you most of my favorite citations/bookmarks with the hyper-link erased so that yahoo doesn't truncate it. You will just have to cut and paste into your browser.

HOW TO FIND PIANO CHORDS?
Q.
A. This one is my favorite:
Encyclopedia of Picture Chords for All Keyboards
(Paperback, 1996)
Author: Leonard Vogler
Where can I go for singing, guitar, and piano lessons in California.?
Q. I want to learn how to sing better/sing from my diaphragm, I want to play the electric and acoustic guitar, and I want to learn how to play the piano/keyboard.
Is their any places I could go in (Long beach,Lake wood/Torrance places around those areas I listed maybe a tad bit further if necessary.
People have always told me I sang amazing as a child I sung loud enough for a whole church to hear me but even though people say they don't think I need the lessons I feel I do because I can't sing from my diaphragm. I can hit high notes but it takes a lot out of me to do so. I sing soprano,alto and I dabble a bit in mezzo soprano. I also want to hit low notes like Beyonce does in Halo. My genre of singing is very alternative I sing almost anything. I can sing songs from singers such as Lana del rey to Sarah Bareilles/ Adele/Jessie J/Jojo/Beyonce etc. But I want to sing those songs without harming my throat.
I want to learn how to play my acoustic electric guitar and my electric guitar and play any kind of song without restrictions. (How do you think taylor swift and miley cyrus take care of their hands? I've heard you develop calluses when you play the guitar but I never see it on their finger tips)
I would like to learn how to play the piano as well so that I can play my keyboard at home I want to be able to play any song that I here.
Can anyone help me out I hope that was a good description of everything.
A. California (especially in the LA basin) probably has more singing and piano instructors than anywhere else in the country. The Musicians Institute teaches both: http://www.mi.edu/index/
Singing: Search Google for singing lessons in your area - there are many.
Piano: Search Google for piano/keyboard lessons in your area - there are many
Before you spend a lot of money, you might want to try out all the FREE lessons on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=singing+lessons&oq=Singing&aq=2&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=1&gs_upl=40986794l40992121l0l40999389l7l7l0l2l2l0l590l1423l0.3.0.1.0.1l5l0
This lady is especially good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqmwA0m7e6s
I don't know how old you are but, if yo are still in high school or have not yet entered high school, I believe that most schools in LA teach singing and some may also teach piano. There are some very good piano lessons for FREE on YouTube as well: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=piano+for+beginners&oq=piano+for+&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=1&gs_upl=123982l128250l0l133533l10l7l0l1l1l0l314l1412l0.1.4.1l6l0
I taught myself to play the keyboard and I thought it was pretty easy to learn the basics on your own. The difficult stuff stuff comes when you want to learn to play piano solos. If you only want to learn to accompany yourself while you sing, all you really need is a good chord book and Chord Wheel and the book "Music Theory for Dummies" (you will need to know some music theory).
