| Piano tips
I would definitely suggest taking lessons from a teacher. I started teaching myself and progressed very slowly compared to what I learn now that I am in regular lessons. I think one of the main tricks is to try and integrate your own practicing techniques into what the teacher has you work on. For instance, they might give you an excersize or piece of music in the key of C. What I try to do is get it down in C and then as many other keys as I have time for. This helps your theory and your hands. I also then go and try to do the piece with my eyes closed which helps me master it in less time.I would also recomend getting a copy of "The Virtuoso Pianist" and working on those excersizes along with what your teacher gives you. I hope you find out what works best for you. Good luck with your new endeavor!
