Why learn piano?

Piano is a beautiful instrument. You don’t have to be born with a musical bone in your body to learn piano. Sometimes learning musical theory later in life is often much easier for those who are logical thinkers and good at maths and those who may not think of themselves as musical or creative people. Learning by ear, rather than theory, may be easier for a student who inexplicably understands rhythm and tone. Once you have the basics of playing piano down, it can be a great way to express yourself musically, whether you write your own music or accompany your playing with singing. Playing piano can serve as an emotional release. By playing what you feel and what is inside of you, you can let go of pent-up emotions.

Learning piano can also be a stepping stone to learning other instruments. Once you have the basics of music theory and piano down, it may be easier to pick up learning to drum or instruments like guitar or bass, since you’ll have a solid understanding of music to work off. Learning piano can accompany your voice. If becoming a studio artist or songwriting is the goal, the piano is a great instrument to start on.

Getting started with piano lessons

If you’re new to learning piano, there are a few things you can do to get started, besides your classes. First, it’s helpful to have a piano or keyboard to practice on. Buying a keyboard is more accessible than buying a piano; they are smaller, more budget-friendly and easy to find brand new or second-hand. If you prefer to play on a piano or get that acoustic sound, this is an option too. You can find pianos online second-hand, search online for music stores in Australia or head to a music store in the Sunshine Coast.

If you haven’t already, it’s always good to have an idea of the music you like and the style of piano you’d like to play. All you need to do this is listen to music, widen your musical knowledge and you can even do a little research into your favourite musicians, like watch or read their interviews to inspire you. You don’t have to be sure of this to start piano lessons, as your teacher will help you through this. If you don’t have a particular goal in mind, learning piano still has heaps of benefits. 

Benefits of piano lessons

Other than expanding your creative horizons and developing new interests and hobbies, learning piano has a range of benefits. For instance, playing music throughout your life can help prevent the decline of memory loss, hearing loss and the processing of the brain. Playing piano can improve motor skills and strengthen muscles in the hand. Learning musical theory from a young age can boost math skills and logical thinking. Besides this, learning piano and reading music can increase comprehension skills. Learning an instrument like piano can reinforce the importance of working hard to achieve a goal, discipline and patience, which translates to all parts of life. Learning an instrument can improve attention span and focus.

Playing music has a natural ability to reduce stress and tension, along with being a form of entertainment that leads you away from the screen which causes us stress and reduces our quality of sleep. Learning piano and finding an interest in music can expand your cultural knowledge and diversity, helping us become a well-rounded person.

Your piano teacher will focus on your strengths and what you can improve on, one-on-one. They will encourage you to practice, find a style you enjoy and have fun while learning. They may even encourage you to get out there and put on a performance or start writing your own music if that’s something you’re interested in.

Styles of piano

Maybe you have been playing the piano for years and you’re looking to learn a new style. Piano tutors can teach you to learn many styles, depending on what they specialise in. If you grew up learning classical, give a more contemporary style like jazz a try. You may also want to learn musical theatre, rock or pop. Having the fundamentals of these styles down can make it easier to work on your own unique style, which is especially helpful if you’re writing your own music or join a band. Learning new styles can make piano more fun and can even help you get more involved in your local music scene. A lot of artists and bands are looking for keyboard players. If you are more familiar adaptable to different styles, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to play along confidently.
