The Best Way To Learn The Piano
Is there any other educational area where students are taught only in a one-on-one situation, not really?
In essence, this is what classical piano students do. It is very important and monotonous for students who are learning to play the piano to practice everyday, this takes discipline which you do not see in children or parents. Both of these attitudes create artificial limitations for students that hinder their ability to grow and develop musically. Here’s the message piano students need to hear — “Your effort matters and it makes a difference.
However, about a third of parents do too much and try to take over responsibility for their child’s progress, which hinders their child’s ability to develop positive learning skills on their own. To help their children learn and accomplish their goals, parents need to focus on the process and content of the learning rather than the final product.What the young student doesn’t understand is the piano learning process.
Private lessons have good and bad connotation associated with them, sometimes children create a dependence on the teacher and it is hard for children to overcome this and children are not encouraged to develop their own independence when it comes to learning the necessary skills, on the other hand having the one on one teaching is very beneficial to the child because more can get accomplished in a shorter period of time. Plus, there is no point in having your child spend 30 minutes practicing incorrectly without learning their pieces when the material can be mastered in 10 minutes with good practice habits.
Because parents are in charge of their children’s schedule and curriculum, home school students can set their own pace and spend more time on music than in the public or private schools. Music is even more fun when you can share it with others. Young children have the ability to learn music theory and are able to learn concepts on the keyboard as the children grow and develop their musical ear.
If your children know their alphabet and how to identify numbers and count, they’re old enough to start learning music theory. With the rise of the internet more adults have learned that taking piano lesson does not have be taught in classrooms or studios it can be taught over the internet, this helps with today’s busy schedules and adults do not have to be locked into a schedule.
Well, you might find this hard to believe, but encouraging your child taking piano lessons to practice doesn’t have to be a struggle. They do want to be sure, however, that their young child is old enough to benefit from formal musical training.
One of the choices that parents have when their child is beginning piano lessons is whether to enroll their son or daughter in a private or group lesson.
Over time this will make sitting down at the piano to practice feel more natural to your young child or your older beginner and make learning easier. Establish a routine practice time.
Set meaningful goals that will last, focus on the “What” and the “Why. Writing down the goals and dreams that first motivated you to give your child the gift of piano lessons provides a reminder that will keep your energy focused over the long term.

What is the best way to learn piano besides a teacher?
I’m playing guitar pretty good right now, but I figured… It’s kinda easy to learn that if you try, but yet I’ve been playing piano for a year and, while being pretty good (I just figured out two songs by ear), I can’t combine both hands, therefore… I generally have nothing. Well, nobody’s gonna pay a teacher to teach me, sooo… What’s the best way to learn piano, aside from having a teacher?
There’s a CD that teaches you how to play a piano, it helped me alot though I don’t play piano ‘cuz i think it’s not the type of instrument for me
Music Ace is the CD

Guitar is the best instrument
Honestly… Keep jamin out by yourself. The average time to master something new is 10,000 hours but pratice makes perfect.

First learn how to read sheet music. You should be able to learn of the world wide web. After that download some sheet music of your favorite songs (so you know if your make mistakes) and start practicing! Good luck
References :
Go to your nearby college and buy a beginners piano book. It’ll have some instruction in it and have songs that progressively get longer and harder. The one from the college have quite a bit in them and are structured to teach the basics quickly.

It’s important to be able to read music. Playing by ear isn’t always the way you would like it to sound…just record yourself, and then hear the difference from a record or CD. Learning about "cords" and the differences is all about music,… mood, beat, etc. You can do some of this on your own, but you have to research, read books about music. If you are really interested in music, ;you will spend a lot of your time do just that; learning about music, and practice, practice, practice.

Being good at music is a lot of hard work, even for the talented musician, but like most endeveors, it pays big dividends.
