Are you ready to learn a new talent? Playing the piano is a skill that can last a lifetime.
But how difficult is it? Is it hard to learn the piano?
The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might think. Sitting down for the first time can have you tinkering out a tune. But to master piano as an art form can take a lifetime to perfect.
Along the way, you’ll encounter many things that make the process difficult. If you avoid them, it makes your practice sessions easier. 
Learn With A Teacher
It’s always easier to learn the piano with expert guidance. If you’re not ready for private lessons, try group classes instead. Classes are perfect for beginners as they’re easy to take from home in your free time. You can find many different opportunities online – learn anywhere, any time.
Then as you progress, a private teacher can help you:
- Establish good habits
- Provide proper teaching materials
- Help you make stylistic corrections
- Holds you accountable
Practice, Practice, Practice
There’s a saying you’ve probably heard: practice makes perfect. We actually think the saying should be: perfect practice makes perfect. Just sitting down and pounding out a tune three times every day won’t make you a better piano player. But if you sit down and enjoy what you do, you’ll see improvement all the time.
As a general rule, strive for at least 30 minutes of practice per day. You have to put in the time if you want to see improvement week to week.
Have The Right Expectations
Keep your expectations in check. If you start piano lessons with visions of performing Rachmaninoff tomorrow, you’ll be greatly disappointed. It’s important that you get the basics down to have strong building blocks for playing in the future. If you jump into pieces that are above your skill level to early, you’ll get frustrated and have a stronger urge to quit.
