Q. I am having a hard time learning chords for piano(chord fingering) I find that I can play piano by ear(not using both hands) but I am having a hard time memorizing all of those chords,I made a promise not to stop learning new things about piano and stuff,does anyone know an easier way to learn piano chords? I need to read all that you know.
A. I learned by ear, but when I struggled I used a free piano learning chord software I found online. Lot's of software is available for you to study with. Their purpose is to increase your piano mentality and make you better.
You can also check out other books on how to learn and try their methods. Chances are you might like others better.
What is the fastest way to learn how to play the keyboard?
Q. I love music, but have never seriously played an instrument. I am looking for a way to learn the piano relatively quickly, I know that practice makes perfect and it takes time. I'm not trying to become a masterful pianist, but just add a new hobby that involves music. I heard that learning to play from chords instead of learning to actually read music is easier? Any help and/or advice is greatly appreciated.
A. What helps is getting all the reference material you can to start out with, short of lessons.
As these are aids when you may or may not decide to have real instruction, but at least will certainly learn in spite of yourself, over the months (and years) to come.
There is an artist, Scott Houston, that has put out some great beginner's learning and instructional material by graphic and DVD aids, through his method of learning to play piano. He has been seen recently on the Public Broadcasting networks and gives you a good example (in an hour's time) of how the playing of piano is less an effort than one can imagine.
Meanwhile, get acquainted with at least a 61-key digital keyboard and try a few at the music store, or piano dealership. This will give you a better idea of what will help you out and discover the real pleasures of piano and the possibilities ahead.
Gather up some books for piano chords and progression uses for left hand (bass, rhythm accompaniment) and right hand melodies. There are as well DVD and CD examples and software to look over.
For now, don't worry over manuscript and sheet music compositions, but learn what 'lead sheets' are and come to use these in your learning experience. You will soon find out their value in a short time.
If you can go by the ear experience, or the Suzuki methodology in instrument player techniques, then you are on your way.
Listen well, to the music.
Best link to learn to play piano sheet music?
Q. I started learning piano yesterday. Since I've been playing guitar for 3 1/2 years now, I picked up on the concept of scales and chords very quickly. I'm currently learning the whole concept of the formation of piano chords, but the point is I wanted to learn to play Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd, and I was wondering if there was a website that could teach me to learn how to read sheet music. Thanks!
