I’m in my thirties and I play guitar. I just got a 61 key electronic keyboard for the holidays. I need suggestions for good beginning piano books appropriate for my age. The book stores and Amazon have nothing. I guess that I need to go to a community college bookstore or something.

I have such a great music mind. I can think of such pretty tunes, but I can’t put them into piano notes. Help me?
spacolie’s answer wasn’t bad, but no software or paying stuff. I just want advice from you guys.
I already have musical experience. I play the piano. I just can’t write my own music.

Jamie Ann asked:


I know basic piano – I can read very basic sheet music, and I can play by ear. I can get the melody to a song, play it with one hand, but how do figure out which notes I should be playing with the other hand to give it that complete, harmonizing sound? I took piano lessons years ago, so I can’t remember. I think it has something to do with chords though, right?

I’m trying to learn how to play the piano. I guess the first step is to figure out how to read sheet music. I was wondering if there was any software that will let me learn notes from the computer keyboard. Then I was hoping to get some books to learn how to actually play the piano, music theory, and also reading sheet music. Thanks.

I should also mention that I don’t have direct access to a store (I have no car, college campus) and was hoping for recommended titles I can order off Amazon or BN.

Angie asked:


My eight year old daughter is going to begin taking piano lessons soon. While I would love to have a real piano for her to practice on, we just do not have room for one in our home. What is a good, fairly inexpensive keyboard for her to begin playing on? I know that Yamaha is a good brand and that I need to look for at least 61 keys that have touch sensitivity. Any advice?

Mashu asked:


Is there a website that has instructions, or whats a good book to buy? I am a beginner in all the aspects of the word. The only thing I really know is what each note is. Aka, whole note, half note, etc. But, as for reading and being able to play piano music, I have no skill.

I have a piano to practice on, so thats not a problem. I just need help learning how to play it. Any suggestions on where to start?
Well, I dont need motivation, I can do that pretty well. Everyone in the family that plays, aka, my dad, uncle, uncle, aunt…and I think Great Uncle, but he can’t do much now. But, they all play without reading notes. They hear a song and in about 20 minutes, they can play it on the piano. So, I don’t really have anyone who knows how to read music and whatnot.

maibs asked:


When I sit down and play the piano, my fingers have been feeling stiff, and so is the rest of my body. At times, I hear my brain telling me to play this note and that, and in the end I get all confused and screw up the piece. Also, I can never finish a peice without making a mistake. I feel tense, and even stressed. Can anyone tell me why is this so? And how to I get into that relaxed state of mind?
