Hi, I'm 65 years old and finally decided to buy my very first piano. I have never played piano in my life and since I'm a senior and retired, I realized I have allot of time and getting bored. Since its a New Year, I thought it's a good time for a new year resolution and start something new. I'm a good music listener and always thought I wish I could play musical instrument. I've asked some people from music stores, and they said the best way to learn is to search in KZfaq. Finally, I saw you and I decided I should subscribe and follow your awesome easy to learn piano instructions.

Good luck! You might also try to an adult piano method book, like Faber or Alfred. They go through all the foundational material and make it easier to go in whatever direction you want with the piano. The Faber book (www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/adult-piano-adventures-all-in-one-piano-course-book-1-4921824.html?aff_id=753781) is my favorite, but the Alfred (www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/product/alfred-s-basic-adult-all-in-one-course-book-1-3658941.html?aff_id=753781) is good too. Those are affiliate links, just FYI.

I used to play by ear. There wasn't much that I couldn't play by listening and after playing the song for a few hours I could ensemble a masterpiece. I recently had a heat stroke and I can no longer play. I try and my head literally hurts trying and it's the most horrible thing

But like you said in one of the comments below teaching styles vary.. Im looking for someone who understands I have never sat in front of a piano and need all the basics.. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!! HOPE TO SEE YOU IN LESSON TWO NEXT WEEK after I do all the homework you have given us..

You took the time to explain everything a beginner should know. (I was a brand new beginner about 3 months ago, now I know a lot more stuff but still CAN'T Play nothing of substance) . You give HOMEWORK! Ta-ra-ra-raaaaaaaaaaa.... yes very important. Among the MILLION online courses I've seen, I will give yours a TRY for one month and If I am still impressed I will support you via Patron, don't doubt it. In fact I WANT TO PAY SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY, I just have not found that person yet, incredible as that may seem.

Ok, best beginner lesson, yet! I've been through a few, and so many DO NOT start at the REAL beginning. Given a piano in my 60's. No music lessons ever, but a fan of music, of course! Now 68, retired, and thought I'd give it a whirl. Thank you for giving starting positions for hands, legs, and seat, even! My old brain could not quickly memorize all the letter sequence for happy birthday 🥳, or Mary had a little lamb🐑. So I will write them down for myself and practice til im blue in the face. 😨😅 Learning notes may be really really hard for me, but I will persevere. ❤
