      Learning the piano is not as hard as you think. Just learn how to read music. Learn what the keys are, and your good to go. No one taught me how to play it. I play music by Beethoven, Chopin, and Scott Joplin. Yet I learned on my own.

My music teacher says that, even though I am mixing up notes from 4 & 5 lessons ago, she wants to continue on. When continuing on is just confusing and getting me discouraged even more. She says that one day it will all just sink in. Well, what if it doesn't?

      We had a piano when I was growing up. My mother played beautifully and I had always wanted to learn. When I was 7, she arranged for me to take lessons and I was SO excited! My enthusiasm was quickly squashed when, instead of the 15-30 minutes my teacher recommended, my mother would make me practice for 2-3 hours at a time. It sucked the fun out of learning and I quit after just a few weeks. Trying to learn now, over 45 years later and it's much more difficult.

    • @lovelyA933

      I totally understand what you mean! I signed up for piano lessons this year since I've had my keyboard for 10 years and never properly learned how to play it on my own.
      I thought going to an actual music school with a teacher would be the answer but the first class was such a let down. The first month is almost over and we still haven't learned how to read notes!
      He shows up late, tells students to learn songs from youtube videos and is literally incapable of explaining concepts. I literally had to watch videos on how to properly position my hands on the piano because he couldn't even explain that to me.
      He is the type of person to "show" you a concept rather than explain it. He talks a lot but doesn't say anything at all. Honestly just because someone can play the piano doesn't mean they can teach how to play it.
