Question about learning to play the piano?

Q. I want to be able to sooo bad! I play some guitar and My dad is a music and so im very exposed to music and Im wondering if you think itd be easy for me to pick up? Im 14 and like I said I have some experience with music. Do you think it would be easy for someone who put enough time and passion into it?

A. Yes of course you can learn! 14 is actually an awesome age to pick up an instrument in my opinion. Especially the piano, vs. other instruments this one is like pressing buttons- you don't have to deal with any tuning issues. Piano is a great instrument to start with because if you want to learn other instruments knowing piano is a great tool. It maps out all the notes for you and makes it easier to visualize chords as well.

Original Question

Where can I find notes to this song?
Q. "Love song" by Sara Bareilles. I need notes to play it on the piano. It would also be nice if someone could help me find a map type thing that shows the notes for the piano and which ones are which. :] Please and thank you!

A. http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0064335&testby=walter&mnuid=DUK29NKRW6Z6N9Y9FCSJ3D9K8PY9J1571JG2K157

here's the sheet music. it's only the first page, but you can print it out, and the chords basically repeat throughout the whole song.

also, watch this video...it helps once you learn the chords from the sheet music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6amqIDbsMs

best answer please?

Original Question

I am a violinist , I want to learn Piano?
Q. I am a violinist , I want to learn Piano, How much months need for a small presentation
for small lessons, i just need few hours, but big lessons, i need a week practice , this is my violin study style

A. Since you are a violinist, you already know to read musical notation. The next step is mapping the notes to the keys on the keyboard and you'll see how logically the keyboard is actually laid out. The keys follow a logical pattern that is repeated over the keyboard.

In my estimation, it'll take you about a week to get the hang of hitting the right key to play a note you read from a score. The rest is practice. Depending on your enthusiasm and determination, you should be able to play to a metronome in another two weeks for the "right-hand" (melody) part.

Chords take a little time but most modern electronic keyboards have an accompaniment feature that allows you to play chords with a maximum of three keys in combination. That means, if you need to play a C chord, you need to simply put the keyboard in accompaniment mode and hit the C key on the left-hand-side to produce the full chord. Minors and Sevenths can be accomplished with two fingers. Sharp Majors and Minors require three fingers. The manual tells you how.

A fairly good musician who can read music should be able to play simple pieces within a month.

I'm not a good musician, yet I was accompanying the Church choir within four months of buying an electronic keyboard. I still can't play the melody to a metronome but accompaniment with just chords and a beat is a breeze.

Modern electronic keyboards also have in-built lessons. Since you can read musical notation, if you use the in-built lessons and play only the melody, allowing the lessons to fill in the chords and beats, you can actually stage a presentation of around four pieces in a month, rehearsing not less than two hours a day.

All the best.
