slightest desire to play piano, you should start right away! Read on

1) Learning to play piano has never been easier. There are many
ways to learn to play piano. You could learn piano by taking private
lessons with a teacher, reading online tutorials, or using piano course
books and watching DVD's.
2) Learning to play piano is a lot more affordable than you may
think. At the cost of eating out, you can purchase a good
instructional DVD or book. I am particularly a fan of DVD's, since
you can see and hear a lesson as many times as you want. It's almost
like having a private teacher by your side 24 hours a day. Piano
course books are also great. Many piano course books are now
accompanied by an audio CD which lets you listen to the lessons
inside the book.
3) Learning to play piano will give you something to share with your
children or grand children. Children naturally love music. You can
entertain them with your favorite children songs. You might even
attract enough of their interest that they will also want to learn! Give
your children the gift of music.
4) Learning to play piano will give you the ability to perform your
favorite songs anytime you feel like it! Everyone usually has a few
songs in mind that they wished they could just sit down and play.
Well, there is no better time than now to make that dream come true!
Piano sheet music for all levels of difficulty is easily available at
your local library, bookstore, or music store. There are even
websites that sell printable electronic versions of sheet music online.
The great thing about that is that some websites will even let you
preview and hear samples of songs before you purchase!
5) Learning to play piano is a great way to entertain friends and
family! Imagine being able to play your favorite songs while
everyone is singing along. It's a great bonding experience. You
could even teach a few simple songs to those who are interested.
6) Learning to play piano is something you will be able to cherish
for the rest of your life. People keep playing the piano well into their
90's. The best thing is, the longer you play, the more you will learn,
and the more enjoyment you will get out of it. Give your self this
great gift now. Start learning to play the piano today!
7) Learning to play piano makes you a versatile musician. The piano
is an extremely versatile instrument. The piano is the only
instrument that allows you to play multiple notes simultaneously
with great ease. This means that you can perform really nice
renditions of songs from any genre. This also makes the piano an
ideal instrument for composing since it basically acts as a miniature
orchestra. If you are composing music on the computer, the
electronic piano keyboard serves as a perfect interface for entering
notes in real-time into your music software.
8) Learning to play piano will allow you to listen to music with
greater enjoyment and appreciation. Since you will learn how songs
are put together, your listening ability will become more refined.
You will start to hear and notice more distinct details in the music
that you listen to. Songs that you have been listening to for years
will seem richer as you hear nuances that you have never noticed
before. You may also start to enjoy songs from other genres of
music that you would normally never listen to.
9) Learning to play piano is physically easy. The piano is much
easier to pick up compared to other musical instruments. Take the
violin for example, which takes some serious practice to be able to
make even a single pleasing sound by using the bow. Another
example would be the guitar. There are so many tough fingering
positions that you will need to learn to be able to play even the most
basic chords. By learning the piano, anyone can easily play notes
and chords in their first lesson.
10) Learn to play piano and join a rich tradition that is over 250
years old. The piano has heavily influenced every major style of
music since its first appearance. Today, pianists still use the piano
keyboard to create great music, as heard by such performers like
Gavin Degraw, Alicia Keys, and Vanessa Carlton. The piano is also
being used behind the scenes as an instrument for composing music
for movies, video games, plays, and much more.
There you have it! There are just so many great reasons to start
playing the piano today. If you are even slightly convinced, I urge
you to go ahead and give it a shot. It will be one of the best things
you will ever do for yourself! You won't regret it!
