There are more efficient ways to learn and practice to play piano than traditional piano lessons for most people. If you want to learn to play classical piano (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc) then learning to read sheet music as taught by traditional piano teachers is what you need. However, to just learn to play songs you like, there are much more efficient ways of learning. Instead of learning and memorizing every single note in sheet music, you can learn to play songs from simple song charts that give you the basic framework of what to play, while you fill in the rest yourself. Not only is that easier and quicker to learn songs that way, but it's a lot more fun as well. |
