Hihi,,

I wonder if anyone know of any good piano teacher/piano centre around Puchong, Bukit Jalil, OUG or Sri Petaling?
Hopefully she teaches adult basis as i heard adult learner can skip some grades and advances faster.
Got such thing ar?
Kinda late for me to start now but really hope to learn music since young.
Friend advice to learn piano before learning other insrument like cello which i am interested in too.

Btw,, my time is not fix so really hope to find a home piano teacher so that i can organise time easier with her and go learn at her house as i dun have piano.
And teacher must be qualified to send me to official grade exams too.
Not too expensive oso la.

Cheers.

couldn't help with the question but...

you can never skip the steps when it comes to learning musical instruments. just like learning language, you'll have to practice practice and practice before you can read/write/comprehense/speak fluently.

it's always better to have a fixed routine/schedule for the lesson. unless you're already a musician to begin with (have piano grade 5 and wanna learn cello), learning music from zero is pretty boring without fixed routine. and it'll take you a year or 2 to thoroughly understand the basic of music and able to play some simple pop songs - and that's with plenty of practice with motivation/interests/passion. not to put you down, if you're pretty busy with many things, you'll be having a hard time to reach the goal. so if you really want to learn music, you have to sacrifice some of your free time and dedicate it to music.

^ agree. you just can't skip steps when learning ANYTHING in this world if you want to be good at it. you can't skip the foundation of your learning.

i agree with your friend that it's recommended to learn the piano first before learning any other instrument, well at least that worked for me. learning piano can help you visualise the concept of music better from the absolute scale - seeing the grand staff and exactly knowing where the middle C is. that should be a great start. i learned the basics of piano when i was six, then guitars at nine. a few years after, combining the skills from piano and guitar became really easy for me. then i learned the bass. tried self learning the violin - i quit not because it was hard but it gave me a neck pain. now i know i can take on any instrument i want to play.

little ice,, thanks for the info ya.. I don't mind learning from zero. Since young very interested in music,, love listening to music, ochestra and soundtracks.. Just didnt have the chance to learn until i start to have my own income and time lately.. Thought of starting soon because i know the older i get,, the harder for me to absorb new things..

waa,, brownman u started at 6 ar... i m 21......

you're 21 and you're still have a long way to go my friend it's never too late to learn something you love. your passion and love for music will help you get there.

i hope you will be able to find your piano teacher who can help you on learning music. i wish i could teach you but i can't - i am fifteen hundred miles away from your country's capital city.

hi there!
we are sharing the same thing
i'm 19 this year n i do vy interested to piano
sadly mum dun allowed when i were young
but now i dun care ady
since i'm studying outstation n as u noe, uni got many stuff to do like reports, assignments................etc etc etc

anyway i'm going to get a keyboard during this sem break
ok i noe keyboard is surely not as good as grand piano or anything lar
but it's affordable n since i'm going to learn the basic 1st
it wun affect much i think
the best thing is it can be carry to anywhere too =)
perhaps can find a teacher to teach me according to my time oso lar
the thing is u must keep practice, it's the only way should b

cheers yea! ^^

hmm..
it's not skipping some lesson..

as an adult that learn piano from zero
I find it very enjoyable learning play by ear
any piano teacher specilizes in that?

I find learn piano by ear is more fun, but of course drawback from conventional is you cant play by the music notes.
For us adult, fun means we will play it. even though it's very hard at first.

it's good to have both of those skills.

if you already can play by ear, reading notes can easily be learned. the other way around can be harder.

oppsmun,, u learning to play piano all by yourself ka?? if i were to start learning,, everyday i will be at my aunt house to pinjam their piano.. hehe!



do u have a website or contact to those play by ear teacher?? i went to their website but its not the real one..

Hi, if u want to sit for official grades exam, then u need to learn from the basic n learn step by step.. Yes. every 1 may skip grades. except for grade 5 theory and grade 8 (ABRSM syllabus). However whether a student can skip any grade, or whether she can learn in a shorter time period, it all depends how fast she can cope, how much she practise, n also how talented she is.
It has nth to do with age, just tat normally an adult could understand the basic theory faster as compared to young kids... so in a way, they may progress faster atthe beginning stage.

Both listening and notes reading r important if u really want to be a competent pianist. u cant play well if ur not listening to what ur playing, i mean LISTENING, not just hearing.. n u won be able to read the music score n play without having good notes reading skill. I personally think u can improve these 2 skills at the same time in the learning process..just tat all these take time, n no1 can master tis in 1 or 2 days.. unless they r borned to be a music genius.

Yea, learing piano as ur 1st instrument is easier for u to cope with other instruments in the future...

M a piano teacher from Sri Petaling, u may PM me if u hav any inquiries. Thx

so have, you find a teacher?

oh my, I'm 25 this year & I wanna take piano lessons too. Is it too late? I also wanna look for personal teacher. Any recommendations?

depends, do you have any prior music experience?

If you can't read the notes, it might be tough and you'll have to start with kiddie songs 1st.

There is an excellent piano school called the "Pianissimo School of Music" in the strand kota damansara. Visit their website at: www.pianissimo.com.my.

Hope it helps

harloee..I am sabrina, I am just 20 years old.
however, I have a few years of teaching piano experiences.
I do teach children and adults piano.
yes indeed, there is an advantage for adult to learn piano because they are able to skip some of the grades and might be faster than a kid.

I do help my private students to register for the ABRSM exam.
I am staying at bukit jalil, vista komanwel C.

my fees is rm85 for adults and rm75 for kids .

It is not late to learn for a musical instrument.
I have a student who is already a housewife, just joined my piano classes.
she is much older than u guyzz I doubt.

Therefore, if u are interested with it. Do not hestitate anymore.
Learn it fast with no regrets.
I may not be ur piano teacher but I will still hv to wish u all gud luck in learning..!!! work hard and put in effort.

Agree with sabzai0306. Go pursue your passion and dont let your age become a barrier! I'm not young too but started learning piano a year ago. Sooooo addictive!

Many music school actually offer lessons for adult piano also.. and you can choose between learning just for leisure or really want to go for exam..

and it is never too late to start the piano as long as you hav interest.. it is all about passion..

just go ahead and persue you interest..

i'm currently learning and teaching in one of the music school in Seri Petaling.. : pm me if you wan some information! :

To all,, i alde started piano lesson ya in one of the music centre around puchong. Had to play kiddie songs at first but slowly started adult song and completing my first book alde.. So will continue my pursue of my dream and hope someday can perform on a grand piano..

Me just started to learn last week. I did not take piano lesson but took keyboard lesson instead. Also playing simple songs... But I am taking 2 lessons only.... because of time constraint. Hope the teacher will be able to find a suitable time slot for me after this..

21 yrs old still blardy young leh....I'm way older than you and just learnt to play a bit of 'Clocks' by ColdPlay last night after watching some Youtubes...haha.
Very nice and addictive song.

Gotta pratice and pratice!

Added on May 21, 2010, 2:52 pmYeah...sight reading kills me...as long i can play some songs, i am happy liao.

---

Added on May 21, 2010, 2:55 pmIt's ok to start with keyboard...see how your interest goes....but after a while and your interest is still hot, you should proceed to piano. Digital pianos are pretty affordable and some are quite portable.

I start @ 26.. now I'm 28

I dont believe there is an age factor in learning it.
Playing piano is my childhood dream. It's fun and it's living my dream.
so whats better thing you can spend your life for?

btw, learning by yourself (through youtube, books) is pretty hard.
until some level, I feel like I'm stuck somewhere.

yup.. I'm thinking to get a mentor/guru to hone my music skills.

---

Added on May 22, 2010, 9:08 amhaha.. nice one.
I can recall I'm learning "Brother John" until my roommate sing it along with me. and I learn it from youtube.
youtube is a great place to learn music that you like. 80% of my music lesson come from there. It cover from simple2 basic (finding middle c, fingering, etc) until playing some mindblowing classical song.

for piano. it takes a lot of practice.
there are times when I hurt my finger and my back (when learning new song, such as the notebook theme (from the notebook ost)), but I dont care, because I love to play em!

wow....
such a good thread...hehehe...im also guitar player..but seriously very interested with piano..but dunt have any time and also...dunt have any mentor to guide me to learn it...hmmm.....n im 25 year-old dis year.....so any recommendation to take the lesson...which 1 is better...home lesson or go to private music class...

Hi all..i am 22 this year..interested in playing piano also..but parents do not allowed...and piano is expensive also >.< My uni offered piano classes during my 1st yr..so i take up the lesson and learn for 1 semester..but it was quite tough for me as i did not own a piano..so just depend on the piano at uni..practice for half and hour everyday..that time only 1 piano available..and I need to share with other students as well..so did not have much chances to practice..2nd semester onwards they did not offer any classes anymore...so i only know the very basic skill..now i wanna continue playing but i cannot afford to get a piano..i wanna ask...can i just use keyboard instead of piano? i only can afford cheap keyboard that cost few hundred bucks..If i go for piano lesson at music center then i use keyboard to practice at home is it ok??

I have tips for you guys. Well probably this tips is not useful at all so i apologize if that happen. The first way to be able to play piano is to have own instrument. I am aware that piano instrument is quite expensive. But do not worry there are keyboard for your solution. For me i use midi keyboard control which have 49 key. which is not good for hard piece score but should be enough for beginner. I bought mine which cost few hundred. BTW i hook up my keyboard to PC with software KONTAKT4 (piano software) + MAUDIO GRANDPIANO VSTi. That goes one part for those who have instrument problem. The next one is just download the EMEDIA KEYBOARD METHOD. They have beginner till intermediate lesson with video. The lesson is very useful and probably in the first week you will have the basic fundamental of piano. Good luck

I'm in melaka currently studying there...anybody in melaka wana learn i can giv cheap cheap lessons haha....

LOL SUDDENLY PROMOTING HERE XD

if really can't afford a piano, a keyboard will do for beginner, though not really recommended for pianist who play for some time already. Anyway, if piano is really out of your budget, go get a keyboard first. At least you have something to practice at home as learning an instrument without practicing at home is really troublesome.

Info on keyboards, piano and classes, please view it at: http://thepianocollections.blogspot.com/

hai......

for me, i would suggest u to start learning piano before learning any other instruments, like cello.....

for adult, we can learn faster, coz we have better understanding in words and theory than children. not to say skip, it just can say that we can improves a bit faster. everything still needs to be follow steps by steps.

i am a piano teacher at Taman Desa, Old Klang Road. if you are interested, can PM me for more details.

thanks

Hi Sabrina and everybody!

I am looking for piano teacher or for piano owner. I studied piano for 7 years, but it was ageas ago. Now I am 28 and need to recollect piano skills to perform one single Beethoven composition. I want to record this performace on video and send it to girl-friend as Birthday present. The birthday will occur on 17-Jan-2011, therefore I have only available period 8-14-Jan for recollecting and training.

I need 10-20 x 45min lessons or selflearning session (just access to piano). I am basing at Bukit Jalil, Vista Komonwel C as well. Probably, It will take me too long for recollecting, therefore my request is valid until the begin of Feb-2011.

Hope to hear you soon. Thank you in advance.
