Learning how to play a piano takes discipline, commitment, and dedication on a weekly basis. Personally, for beginners, at least 60 minutes on a weekly basis is the ideal time investment to be able to play decently within 6 weeks. However, the best approach is to practice daily. Why? Well, repetition will subconsciously make you remember the musical notes you're playing if you see them and play them on a daily basis. Repetition leads to recognition. Even if you laser-focus for 15 minutes daily will make a big difference in your ability to learn how to play piano quickly. In the next few paragraphs, I will go into further detail about the piano and give you more tips so you can become a pro.

Now, at the beginning, learning the piano basics can be very confusing and complicated. For example, if I asked you to play B# (sharp) would you know which key(s) to play? Probably not. That is because it takes a long time to learn the traditional method of knowing how to play piano, which is really boring most of the time so at the end I will give you a link where you can learn piano the fun and easy way all for free.

Next, I will give you some tips to speed up the learning process. For example, knowing how to use your fingers in the keyboard is the first crucial step to learning how the play the instrument appropriately. So, the first exercise is to place your left hand on the piano with your pinky on note C and thumb on G. Now slowly start with C and play all five notes. Repeat. Now start from C again but play the notes faster. Then, go backwards from G to C. Start from C to G and back from G to C without stopping - start slow and speed up gradually. Do this exercise with both hands until you get a good grasp of moving fingers around elegantly.

Importantly, suitable hand and body posture will help you be more flexible while playing and portray you as a professional and elegant piano connoisseur. Your hand should be flexible, but never stiff and your finger will always be placed lightly on top of the keyboards. Always seat straight, be confident and never be messy with your appearance or playing skills.

Most beginning students ponder if a teacher will be needed in the future and the answer will depend on your goals. For example, if you are learning to play the piano as a personal goal then you can get very well learning how to play with online tutorials you can purchase online. On the other hand, if you very serious about piano lessons and plan on making a living from it in the future, then a competitive piano teacher can help you take your skills to the next level. Music teachers can observe you and improve on your weaknesses, or give you other advice because they have been through the process already. Most importantly, they may even get you in touch with their network so you can start playing in some venues and gradually find an agent.

Again, if you just invest a few minutes daily, you will be ahead because repetition of playing the keys will speed up the learning curve as you become familiar with the sound of each note and your fingers become accustomed to playing keys they had never had contact with before. Learning the basics and practicing 20 minutes daily five days per week will make a pro within a few months.
