seriously u wanna buy that?

i suggest u don't, just get a normal keyboard with presets...
unless you're gonna do music programming..

if you buy that, u gotta use your computer to play it...

what is the difference between digital keyboard and stage piano??
anyone can explain pls..

Get "Piano for Dummies" at MPH. There are exercises on scales, reading taugeh, etc...

Important thing is to learn using the piano damper pedal. U will use it more than organ's sustain switch.

I took organ lessons for few years when i was a teen. now I'm learning piano songs by myself. I'm no genius, it takes me 1/2 year to learn one classical song like chopin nocturne op9 no2. so learning on your own is possible

wow.. i wan to buy roland digital piano fp4
but its out of my budget..
anyway, someone know where can the cheapest?

Actually it is possible to learn piano by yourself, and it much depends on how well do you wanna play. If you wanna be able to play, you can and it also depends on how much you practice.

If can, try to invest more than 1 hour and buy a adult piano lesson book and go through it slowly.

Of course, it is much easier if you have someone to guide you. Like when I learn piano, I had a very nice lady who is a piano teacher and my churchmate. Whenever, I'm at lost, like not knowing what key to press, she'd guide me, not to mention the counting and rhythm and etc.

When I started learning, i remember that I could knock each key correctly but I concentrate so hard on my fingers that I dont even know what I'm playing - no joke.

If you want this as a personal hobby, learning your own at a slower pace is indeed possible.

ive never took piano classes before. i started playing by my own like 1 year ago. problem about learn yourself is u wont be able to read notes and u wont know what your playing. but if u do some research then will be able to la. for me, its just me and the piano. if u have the passion for music, u will be able to learn. some people just wanna learn piano for the sake of wanting to play not loving music. i know some people like that do go far getting high grades in piano. but u can hear the difference once they play if u have music ears

I start playing piano on last october, learning all by myself, buying basic piano books, watching youtube, and practice with all my heart. and I choose songs that can make me feel good when playing.

It will be hard and slow progress without teacher, but if you put your effort and love into it, it will do.

Can u teach me the left hand function? Chord?

you my friend. is impressive!

woww.. old thread just been bumped..

anyway, its quite hard to learn piano/keyboard by self-teaching

been there and done that

too little progress in long period

The guy who invented the piano obviously didn't have a teacher, so yeah.

the only reason most slow down when learning by themselves is because of lack of motivation and sometimes a mentor

My grand father learned piano at 72 - so you can definitely get started with doing it now!

If you are determined you will learn...

As far as I know, now there are online self-taught teachers, which allow you to master at least the basic knowledge of the playing musical instruments, as well as mobile applications. This is a very interesting activity in fact. Even if you have never done music before, you can still start. The best option is to use the services of a teacher who can give you maximum attention, but here a lot depends on whether you want to learn for yourself or want to reach a more serious level.

It is possible! There are many online tutorials and classes and free music sheets to hell you learn online! I recently made a video where I gave some tips on learning music as a beginner, here's the video! 😁

FIFY

Thinking about taking up music but am rather tone deaf and not sure if I will stick with it.

Hello all, need some opinion and advise. I used to play Yamaha Electone (Organ) during my teens and have finished all grades.

But I have been stopped playing ever since for more than 20 years. I wanted to pick up again. What would be your opinion, should I continue pick up organ or Piano?

Thought to take up something or evergreen 🤪
