You are certainly very excited to start learning the piano and I understand that because it is a wonderful instrument.
But it can be also quite overwhelming!
I have created this page to make this overwhelm evaporate and guide you through your journey on the piano.
But you need to know something.
You are not only a piano player.
[su_highlight background=”#f8ff01″]You are a musician.[/su_highlight]
OK maybe not right now if you are totally new to music, but soon you will be.
This is important because my aim here is not just to show you how to press keys. It is to help you become an accomplished musician, whatever the goal you have on the piano.
I don’t see learning the piano as a list of techniques, music theory or a bunch of notes on a sheet of paper.
Actually, you don’t even need to know any music theory or how to read music to play the piano. I am not saying that it is not useful, but that’s not the main point of it.
At least that how I see things here.
Learning the piano is learning to play or create music. And music is emotions.
I believe that it is much more important to play with expressivity a few notes, than a millions notes without any feeling.
Don’t get me wrong, you have both musicality and technique. But it is easy to fall into the trap of technique for itself. And I don’t want this to happen.
That’s why I don’t make things complicated here.
I want you to be able to appreciate the musical side of playing the piano quickly. You won’t have to spend years doing boring exercises before enjoying playing songs that you love (unless you only love to play Liszt!).
Sounds good to you?
