Question

What is the easiest way to self-learn the piano? (Already have a strong musical background)

Answer 1

Simple. :) Youtube. Teach yourself certain songs, look up how to read notes on Google, and you'll get it! That's what I did.

Answer 2

What she said^

Answer 3

I taught myself. But unlike you, I didn't have a musical history, so it should be easy for you. :)

Answer 4

Or just sing to so when your playing even if your bad your good singing will make you seem good c: sounds legit

Answer 5

Yeah. I've been playing the violin for four years and I've always loved music, so so far I've been doing pretty good. I got a keyboard for my 14th birthday and so I was just wondering ^.^

Answer 6

Do what Chad said... Play the song and while your playing, sing along with it. If it sounds right then way to go! Learning on your own may seem tough, but if you have musical history it should be as easy as pie. Start off with simple slow songs ( It makes it sooooooooo much easier)

Goodluck Girly!

Answer 7

Thanks (:

Answer 8

Your welcome! Piano is slightly tough especially when your learning on your own. I certainly know your struggles! Ill find a song that takes me forever to get just right! its all worth the troubles though (:

Answer 9

Yeah, right now I'm just getting the basics down. I've only been playing since January, and it hasn't really been my top priority so I've just learned a bit. I'm able to play by ear well though (on the violin and piano), so I guess that helps a lot in improvement.

Answer 10

oh same here! well on the playing by ear part. Ive been playing piano since i was 5:)

Answer 11

that's awesome. I've only been playing violin since 5th grade.

Answer 12

There are definitely many waves to learn the piano quickly, but once you advance to more challenging pieces, YouTube just won't cut it for you. I suggest you learn more about music theory. That way you can identify how to sight-read sheet music, which is an important skill for all pianists.

Answer 13

*ways

Answer 14

I think I first need to get used to bass clef. I know treble clef backwards and forwards because I've been playing the violin for a while, but I still have trouble with bass clef.

Answer 15

This is how I learned it:
Lines on the bass clef: GBDFA (good boys deserve fudge always)
Spaces: ACEG

Answer 16

so it's like treble, but shifted down two notes, right? not too hard to understand, i just need to get used to it
