What is the best piano to by if your a beginner?

Question above.
My bad I spelled buy wrong.

Buy used! Many universities have yearly sales with great buys. Look for famous name brands for reliability in construction. A studio upright (52") basically takes a grand piano and stands it on end, the sound of these is fuller. If you have the room you can go for a grand, but as a beginner, that's probably over the top.

DO NOT BUY A KEYBOARD! The action is totally different and you will not learn the techniques necessary on a full sized piano keyboard.

Look at Kawai, Yamaha for starters, but definitely get a used one.


Beginner Piano Class?

Posted by admin

I'm taking a beginner piano class at the University I attend. I understand mastery of music requires years and years…. but how long do you think it'll take for me to have a solid grasp (which is difficult to define) over playing the piano?

I'm really wanting to learn for two reasons….
1. Play for my wife someday.
2. Being a Christian, in my personal worship.

Depends on how obsessed you get with it. I personally couldn't stand music lessons until I was inspired. Then at the age of 17 picked up a guitar and now I'm considered "something" in little circles. Presently I'm trying to find a voice for myself, which is hard cuz I'm 37 and wondering, like you, if I'm too old.

I say no. There is no age limit. If you love it you can do it. There are lots of "geezer" song writers and performers.

(With my knowledge of theory I was able to pick up the keys in less than a year [I'm no hot dog at them though... yet])

suggestions for a beginner learning the piano?

Posted by admin

I have an electric piano. I am wanting to learn how to play the piano. What would you suggest for a beginner? I tried youtube videos, but I can't find any good tutorial. What is a good piano tutorial book?

Try playing simple music. Know your ABCDEFG keys and then the b flats and # sharps. I don't know how to read piano but I am a very good improviser (ear listener) and could play anything at will.

How do i play super mario themes on the piano? But for a beginner, I need the sheet music with numbers?

Posted by admin

I do not know how to play the piano. But, I know how to follow the sheet music with numbers and it helps me play the music. I would REALLY LOVE to play it among other famous themes. Can anyone help me!?!?!?!?

Super Mario themes are not classical music which is the topic of this forum. I suggest you try the pop or other category.
This is not the forum for videogame music.

Edit: this is the classical music forum. It doesn't matter if he wanted to play it on the cor anglais – it still isn't classical music.

What are good, beginner, pretty, piano solos?

Posted by admin

I need some new music, I'm just wondering what are some really pretty piano solos?

Like Bri said, Pachelbels Canon in D major is a pretty suitable piece.
also Beethoven's Fur Elise of course, and Moonlight sonata 1st Movement. perhaps some simple melodies from the Baroque era, such as a few preludes by Bach, Liszt' Liebestraum No. 3, Mozart's Alla Turca, some of Clementi's sonatines, Chopin preludes, Schumann's Traumerei.. that's just a few :-)


Beginner guitar book for someone who already plays piano?

Posted by admin

I may not be a great music reader, but I can do it. Since I already have therory for piano, i want a book that focuses on chords and finger placement. Preferable chords often used in popular songs?

Guitar for Dummies is one of the best books I have seen that actually gets into the mechanics of making music right away.

Wholenote.com is a good web site for guitar.
