So I've always loved the piano because it really is a beautiful instrument, however I never learned how to play it. I really want to learn now and I'm really determined to eventually become pretty good at it, but I don't even know where to start. I have an old 61 key electronic keyboard I've had since I was little and taking lessons (but at the time I had to quit in order to go into cross country and soccer) and I played clarinet for 4 years so I'm familiar with reading sheet music, although it's been a few years since I last played. I found a really nice 88 key digital piano on sale and I really would like to buy it, and my parents agreed to get it for me if I show I really want to play piano.
Does anyone have any advice on where I should start? Is it okay to start teaching myself some songs I really like but aren't really "beginner" difficulty? (I've been thinking I want to learn how to play the song "For River" from the To the Moon soundtrack). Is there a good way to familiarize myself with the keys and the notes and be able to remember them? Is there anything you wish you had learned early on that you think I should learn as soon as I can? Any advice at all is greatly appreciated :D
No need to ping me, I'll be subscribed to the thread! ^-^
