Piano. 43 now, played maybe 2 years in primary school. My partner got a good quality electric one with headphones.
This led me to start as I could practice at night while the kids slept, and not be embarrassed sucking and/or driving people insane doing exercises/ scales
- poglet 4y agoCan you talk about how you are going about learning the piano? Ie. What study materials and how much practice you do? Piano is something I would love to learn too.
- haihaibye 4y agoI'm working my way through Alfred's basic adult Piano Course. I like how it also teaches music theory. https://www.alfred.com/alfreds-basic-adult-piano-course-lesson-book-1/p/00-2236/ https://www.alfred.com/alfreds-basic-adult-piano-course-less... I went through it page by page, each day I started I'd go back maybe 5-10 pages. I do contrawise 2 handed scales as a warm up. I've been approaching it as work (ie concentrate hard, do deliberate practice not messing around) and have seen really fast improvement. I practice maybe 30 mins 5 days a week. I'll also just have fun - I just try and play the songs I really like (Greensleeves, Scarborough fair, House of the rising sun, Canon in D etc) until they're really good. I can (barely) play Canon in D after maybe a month (though I played Violin for 5 years and piano for 2 as a kid) If I don't know a song, I'll google it before tackling it as I find that makes it way easier, eg here's Canon in D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFRYPg5dwss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFRYPg5dwss You can also download sheet music, eg Aphex Twin, and easy version of Europe's the final countdown etc which is pretty fun to play as a synth. Good luck!
