Learning to play the piano as an adult

I've always thought that the piano is a great tool, not the most complicated, but for the most attractive. Playing the piano for me has always been a kind of pipe dream for the different circumstances of life and because we always think that these things are to start as much as a child or teenager. It is true that our ability to learn is far more child than adult, but it is not impossible, by any means, consider this type of adventure with a few years on top. If children have the capacity, we have adult and perseverance will always be something that really motivates us. I

I can comment that only one hour of class per week (in my case tutorial) can progress quite a few months, start to play some simple exercises and a couple of years playing some Bach, Mozart, etc.. To do this will need to know the staff, the note to which every part of the staff, the time value (which is each note) and some detail. The theory is nothing to be feared, is quite simple. The classes of a teacher are almost essential, though.

addition to acquiring the techniques and music theory concepts necessary (not too) to read and play those scores, they can progress in harmony as well, allowing us to follow shortly almost any song chords (a chord is a succession of different notes that sound simultaneously or in succession together forming a harmonic sound). It's easy to find these chords and play a little practice. Can be used to represent the traditional nomenclature (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si and their major, minor, diminished, seventh, ninth, etc.) or the Anglo encryption (A, B, C, D, E, F and G, where A = La, B = Yes, C = C, D = Re E = Mi F = Fa G = Sol). Normally a chord is composed of 3 notes played with the right hand and the note of the chord that bears its name is played with the left hand in the lower zone (severe) on the keyboard.

If you search the net you will see that it is easy to find the chords of any song.

important thing to learn because it is fundamental to want to spend time at home to practice advances and corrections seen in class, between 30 and 45 minutes a day is enough. It is therefore imperative to have a piano at home. This could throw us back if we think of space and cost. However, to start we can buy an electronic piano whose cost can be in the 500 or 600 €. What is important in this type of piano is:

1) The size of the keyboard should be identical in number Keys and their size to a piano "truth."

2) The feel of the keys is fundamental. The piano string has some hammers strike the strings as the keys have a special touch to a characteristic strength. This effect "hammer" is essential in an electronic piano (must simulate this effect.)

3) Must have pedal to extend the sound of the notes once you release the keys (especially imperative to play by chords).

Typically buy the piano with a pedal and legs to hold it (there are in "X" pretty cheap). Also we recommend a piano bench with adjustable height. I bought a Casio Privia PX-120 (I think it's the 130) that meets all the above. The sound of the speakers in my piano is not very good but has audio output so you can play with headphones (so as not to disturb anyone :-)) or to an external amplifier. In both cases the sound is good because the speakers are not used piano.

Well, a little more, I encourage you to put "to work (musical)." The important thing is to have enthusiasm and excitement and it is not necessary to be a child (at least in age).
