How do I get started learning to play piano?

GET A TEACHER FOR A LITTLE WHILE TO TEACH YOU THE BASICS.

Buy the John Tompsan piano books if you can.

"Teaching little fingers how to play''

Or buy a CD-ROM that teaches you a little. You can buy them at a book store or a music store.

You can find a friend that is generous. He must own a piano or an electric piano and have about 2yrs of learning the piano.

he might teach you a little of the piano and not charge you at all.

HOPED THAT HELPED!

It depends on how serious you are about learning piano and how far you want to advance. What I'd recommend if you want to use a keyboard is start out a medium sized one (they normally have around 40-60 keys). However, in around 6 months you'll start needing a full size weighted keyboard/piano with pedal, which has 88 keys. Also, the easiest thing to do is to find a piano teacher. Many don't charge that much, especially student teachers. Your teacher will tell you what books to buy. This is the easiest way to go and you'll advance a lot faster.

I think you should learn with a piano teacher for awhile until you know how to play and see if you like it. Buy a medium size keyboard at first and if you like learning piano you could get a small piano for a few thousand dollars.

Try getting a keyboard with all the keys. This will make it easier on you when you have a real piano. If there is a music store nearby, go to it and ask a sales associate if they can help you pick out a lesson book that's right for you.

well if i were u i would buy dvds or cds from shops or stores on how to play the piano. But if ur like me I asked my music teacher at school and he gave me a begginers sheet on the piona i av at home i write on each key a toc then atoc till mit covers all the keys. Then the song sheet has music notes and letters i follow the letters and play the song. Then I asked my teacher to help me and he did. BUt i would have preferred lessons.

Well I think that you should either get a keyboard at costco or sams club. then look for an online thing to teach you the notes (A-G is best, not Do-Ti), there are lots on youtube.
