Starting Piano

Well I’ve made a start on the piano. I ordered an electric piano and have set that up in the study.

For learning, I’ve been contemplating the options. Piano Dreamers have a more detailed article than I could write here. Given the inability to go to a teacher at the moment that’s out. I may look into an online live lesson, but at the moment it’s looking to be either app based or video based.

I started with Bill Hilton’s Piano For Beginners YouTube series. I’m only a handful of lessons in, but seems great so far. I have diverted via some of the other recommended videos. I suspect I’ll be buying his book(s) eventually.

Current thought is run through that series, and maybe take a look at some of the apps with free trials at the same time, and see which I get on with (if any). I’ll play it by ear as to which method is successful, or if a teacher is required.

Certainly a new and exiting journey that I’m beginning. I’ll update as I go with how it’s all going.
