Everyone loves music. It can be relaxing, encouraging or comforting and anything between sophisticated and revolutionary. Music brings the world together: there is no culture without some kind of playing and singing. With music being such an amazing phenomenon, it may have crossed one's mind, how great it would be to be able to create it. With these easy piano instruction you can learn to play your favorite songs.
It will always be a good idea to take some lessons, especially if you plan on becoming a true master. There are both private and public music schools in many areas. These schools usually require some experience and/or passing a test of some kind. It may sound terrifying to stand before a group of people doing what is most likely your first public performance, but don't freak out. Just practice and sing a song you like or a little piece with an instrument you have played before. They won't be too hard on you.
Besides music schools there is plenty of private teachers. The best way to find teachers around your neighborhood is to do some research online, read local newspaper and ask family and friends if they know someone. Private teacher should be as good or even better choice than one in a music school. If the teacher is nice, you can make the plans for your lessons together. Nevertheless, there is multiple ways to learn online without an actual teacher. You just have to know the basics first.
A big surprise: there are just seven different white keys in your instrument. The others are just the same sound in various octaves. Octaves is what the whole notation system is based on. They always start and end with the same key, for example C-major: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. The different C:s etc., have all their own names, but you usually hear people just talking about 'higher' or 'lower' keys.
The most used C-major (in the beginning that is) is located in the middle of the keyboard. You find the C by looking at the black keys: it is always the key right on the left side of the 'group of two' of the blacks. C-major has just white keys in it, so if you play them all up until the next C, you have most likely played it.
Now it's the time to play your first song. It may be a good idea to write letters C, D, E, F and G on little pieces of paper and carefully tape them on the correct keys of your instrument. Then set your right hand on those keys and play: E D C D E E E D D D E G G (a little break) E D C D E E E D D E D C.
If you are having troubles with that, you can try marking the keys differently. Use your favorite funny pictures, animals, logos, anything you can imagine. Using your imagination makes the learning not only twice as fun, but also easier.
If you managed to play the song, you noticed that it was 'Mary had a little lamb'. These piano instruction helped you to get started, now keep up practicing and some day you will be a true artist. Video-tutorials and other useful material can be easily found on the net.
