No. Learn all keys (with practice). Even a very good piano teacher can add only so much to what your ears already know. The only way to be sure you can easily hear all the notes a piano produces is to spend long hours carefully playing piano by ear, often with your eyes closed. There […]
There are three different ages that can be ideal for music lessons. As a beginner, you should start the lessons before the age of 12. As a beginning, there is no need for an advanced age. As an intermediate, we think a person that’s 14-16 years old is best for music lessons. If you think […]

I am not sure but I’ve often seen older pianists struggling to learn the new sounds of the piano. And many of them have trouble with the hand speed! What is an important skill to learn at an older age in piano (but not bass)? I’m sorry, I don’t know! Why do you want to […]
