Is it possible to learn the piano yourself?
Hello 14 f
I was wondering if it was possible for me to learn piano on my own? I have one of those piano sets that the keys light up..well I really want to learn, I don't want to have to pay for lessons... would like to write a song for my bf and play it for him..Really I would like to know? is it really that hard?

Want to answer more questions in the Hobbies category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
some people can pick up any instrument. but in reality most people need lessons. i would reccomend for writing music take a music theory class. taking a piano class is great but you wont learn what you need to in order to write something.
but always mess around. humm a tune and try to match it with the keys.

I think you should atleast start out with lessons so you can know in which direction to go. Going by a book might not be all that beneficial.
I started the guitar about 2 years ago and first started off going by a book and learning to read normal sheet music. I soon started taking lessons and my teacher wanted me learning chord names which helped me out alot more. I dunno how the piano is but with the guitar you can find "guitar tabs" for pretty much any song, normal sheet music not so much. If i would have continued with the book then it would have taken me alot longer to learn the chords, develop the muscle memory (which took forever), and play off of tabs easier.
As for playing and writing a song for your boyfriend... Im sorry but it sounds so much easier than it actually is. Again im not too familiar with the piano but anybody whos played the guitar for a year or so can put together some basic chords and make a song like that. Don't expect to get it the first time.
Im sorry if i made you ify about whether or not learning to play but just know its gunna be tough, even though it is stick with it. Deciding to learn how to play the guitar was one of the best decisions i've made.

You should get a begginer piano book. I had one and it had everything about piano. Good luck (:

i learnt the piano on my own, then had to write a song for music class. however i would wait until you can you know hold a tune before writing a song, this is merely because there are some notes which just shouldn't be played together, and also so you know how many beats to give a note what timing should the song be in, that kind of thing - just broadening your music knowledge.
anyway just buy yourself some piano books and start playing, it doesn't take long for it to start sounding good. =] have fun, hope he appreciates it. x

i know many people that find it easy to learn piano by ear. this is just basically writing a song by playing random keys until you find the ones that sound good together and make for a good song. so yes, it is very possible. :) good luck
