My friend teaches piano and he really believes he’s very good at teaching people on learning Piano. One day I asked him if I could learn how to play the piano overnight. He laughed and laughed and told me I was like saying I could learn to paint an amazing picture overnight.
Learning piano overnight is a lie!
No, you CAN NOT learn to play the piano overnight – that’s IMPOSSIBLE.
However, you could learn to play a piano scale overnight, some piano chords or perhaps even a few rhythms, but that’s about it.
Don’t get me wrong. There are always shortcuts to playing piano, but you will still need to make time to practice and work at it on regular basis. Like my friend said, your hands will need time to get used to the strange new shapes you are forcing them into. Your brain can only absorb so much new stuff at one time. If you’ve never been taught on how to read piano notes and playing piano, it will take a while just to figure out the names of the keys.
What I’m trying to say is be realistic. If a piano method guarantees overnight success, I want to bet at first it will take you all day and all night just to READ their advice and then they will most likely teach you about piano chords, rhythms, patterns and so on.
However, if you could find the real McCoy and ended up getting a piano job at a piano bar the very next day after you took that piano methods from scratch, let me know. I’d LOVE to find out how I could also teach myself playing piano and know there are easy piano lessons out there.
For those of you who don’t believe there’s such thing as learning piano overnight and would like to teach yourself piano, I think you will find video piano lessons like PianoForAll a real deal! It is very easy to follow along and all you need to do is copy what you see in the video and then you are on your way to playing the piano and have a good time with it.
