is it going to be easy for me to learn the piano on my own?

No, it will not be easy to play the piano on your own. I mean, you have a background in music already, but the piano is a lot harder to lear than you think. You need to get yourself a private teacher in order to help you succeed, because classical pieces especially need a lot of piano training and you need a lot of flexibility and dexterity in your hands in order to play successfully. I know this because I started on the clarinet, and then I moved to piano. I taught myself for 6 months, and it did me no good. However, withing a few months of private instruction and continued instruction, you will be great in no time. And, as a bonus, once you have a basic concept of the piano down, transferring to other instruments will be a lot easier. I also play the oboe, and with my background in the piano, it took me no time to learn the notes and the fingering. So, in my opinion, get a private teacher, and you will go a lot further.

Nope. No instrument is "easy." Violin plays on the Treble Clef, the piano uses both Treble Clef and Bass Clef, which are most of the time played and read simultaneously. And also, if you want to play piano, get yourself a good piano teacher. Doing it on your own is risky, you'll pick up a lot of bad habits and won't get anywhere.

Good luck with it.

Ok, you're probably going to get A LOT of no's, but I am 13 years old, and I play the violin with my school's orchestra, all my friends that played piano and violin told me it was about the same type of thing. I bought myself a book and realized it was, you could buy Bastien Piano Basics WP201 Level 1 and play out of there. Or, you could find the sheet music for "The River Flows In You By: Yiruma" and learn it by listening to it a few times and figuring out how to play it. It wasn't easy for me to learn the song before the book, but I did. If you need any help you can contact me and ask. I'd like to help :]

PS I've played for three years so I think you can play the piano too

having played the violin does help help a little,

but as another poster said, "we have no way of knowing"

it's also depends on how much natural talent you have,

how good of an ear you have etc

How much you practice

it will be a lot harder without a teacher, to show you what you doing wrong,

answer you questions etc

Unfortunately, no. You need a teacher to:

- stop you from forming bad playing habits

- teach you proper technique (you cannot learn this by reading a book, someone has to show you. videos on the internet is not enough)

- teach you the right way to practise

No.

How much are you doing with polyrhythms and notes below the G below middle C? Can you read two clefs at once?

... get lessons if you want to learn.

There is no way anyone can 'thoughtfully' answer this.

No!

EDIT:

Why on earth would an instrument be 'easy' WITH a teacher? Nevermind WITHOUT a teacher!

Good luck though!

NO... without a teacher you will find it so hard that you will quit, so why bother starting in the first place?

Seriously, you need a teacher.

EDIT:

Its not easy... just easier.

Nope.
