Piano Lessons For Beginners – What’s Best?

If you are a real newbie at learning piano then you’re going to need some proper piano lessons for beginners. Think twice about getting a human piano teachers because there could be all sorts of problems that you might not have thought of.

1. Not all piano teachers can teach. For generations, people who have learned piano as a child and have become reasonably adept at it have turned to teaching piano as a way of earning a living. And it’s a perfectly decent occupation of course. If you’re fortunate enough to find a good piano teacher for your lessons then good for you. For, the unfortunate fact is that there are many people out there, who, no matter how good they are at playing piano, are just not good teachers. Being able to impart information in an effective and memorable way is a skill that has to be learned, and may piano teachers seem to focus on the technicalities of Piano Playing to the exclusion of the educational aspect. The result is that you might have a piano lesson every week for years and still feel you haven?t learned very much at the end of it all.

2. You might find your teacher difficult to get on with (or they might find you difficult instead). Everybody is different and I?m sure you?ve had the experience where you take an instant dislike to someone, even if you can?t put your finger on the actual reason. Such a thing occurred to me a while back when I booked a course of lessons with a guy that a friend had mentioned was particularly good. I was told that he was knowledgeable, friendly and polite. He arrived ans was just as described but I’m afraid from day one, I just found it difficult to get on with him. I just didn?t like his manner and couldn?t get on with him at all. Of course, an extreme example like this doesn’t occur very often, but if anything like it does happen, it’s likely to interfere with your learning. It?s just something to think about, that?s all.

3. Real live piano teachers don?t come cheap. It depends where you live of course but you?ll probably find that most piano lessons for beginners come in at between $35 and $75 per hour. If you?re learning piano from scratch then the likelihood is that you?ll need at least one piano lesson per week for a year. It soon adds up, I can tell you. You might end up spending two or three thousand dollars on employing a piano teacher before you know it. It?s as well to be aware of this commitment before you start because it?s not always easy to get rid of teachers once they start teaching you. They?ll tell you that you need a few more lessons, then a few more, then a few more. You don’t think you should stop because they’re the professional and you’re the beginner.

You might think that I’m a bit prejudiced against humans for piano lessons – not at all. Many piano teachers provide a first class service at a reasonable price, but they?re not always easy to find. In reality piano lessons for beginners aren’t very complicated. If you’re a beginner then you need something simple and straightforward – you don’t want a piano teacher breathing down your neck.

Beginners $11.87 Beginners is a quirky, low-key comedy of sorts about a man whose dog can talk (via subtitles, anyway) and whose aging father abruptly declares himself to be gay after being widowed. The story requires a suitably quirky soundtrack, and it gets it by means of a Bach suite played on a horn, some early jazz recordings from the likes of Jelly Roll Morton and Hoagy Carmichael, and some scoring by Dave Palmer and Roger Neill. Palmer and Neill contribute an elegant piano waltz in “Moon Waltz” and a stride piano piece in “Veronica’s Blues.” Their eight-minute “Beginners Theme Suite” brings out some of the film’s melancholy aspects that go along with its oddball humor. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: Joseph Meyer – French Horn; Tina Guo – Cello; Daniel Rosenboom – Trumpet; Dave Palmer – Piano
