Easy Piano Lessons For Beginners Do Exist

There are two things that make it so much more difficult to learn piano from a book. Thankfully, there's a solution to the problem.

1. Most piano beginner books are aimed at children. It appears that the piano book publishing sector thinks that only children want to learn the piano. This is plainly not the case as there are thousands and thousands of people who have always dreamed of playing piano but who never had the chance to learn when they were children. I know because I?m one of them. Years ago, when I was a kid, I didn?t know anyone who played the piano or who even had a piano in their front room. This was always the norm in middle-class Victorian families but not, alas, among the working classes. So very few of us had the opportunity of learning the piano at that time. Nowadays, children do have that opportunity and so today, if you pick up any of the majority of beginner piano books, you?ll find that it?s littered with little elves and pixies, the tunes will be mindlessly dull and the net effect will be to turn you away from what you?re trying to achieve. That?s not to say that there aren?t any beginner piano books targeted at adults, but they are not easy to find. And they still suffer from one major problem. And this takes me to my next point:

2. Piano lessons from books are intrinsically flawed. Here?s a little experiment: Try writing down on a piece of paper the sound that a bluebird makes, so that someone who?s never heard a bluebird can make the sound back to you. Of course, it can?t be done. No amount of words (supplied in a visual medium) can ever translate into an auditory one. It?s the same as trying to tell a blind man what the color blue looks like. It?s not possible. So what?s the answer? For years and years there was no solution and all the people who wanted to teach-yourself piano only had these silent books which could never teach them properly. But now, it?s time to rejoice! Easy piano lessons for beginners do exist at last! The new generation of piano lesson software contains not only the words and the notes written on the staves that you expect to see but also, and this is the killer difference, they contain audio clips of the pieces of music that you?re supposed to be learning. It really does make an enormous difference because finally it's possible to see what the notes look like and hear the sound that they translate into when played by a professional. It makes it much, much simpler and a lot quicker too, to learn to play piano than it's ever been before.

Thankfully it is true, you can get easy piano lessons for beginners. It?s simply a matter of downloading the best package for you and get playing at last!
