Piano

I’d really like to learn how to play the piano.

I know this will never happen. But I can think it anyway.

    Believe me, the only one withholding you from playing the piano is YOU.

    Since all musical courses are starting right now (coincidence?) I think you should be presenting yourself to the local conservatory already this afternoon (and/or any other piano teacher). There are special courses for adults, you should take one of those.

    You should combine that with a full-blown solfege course. You will be up and playing within weeks.

    Would Wash U have something, btw?

    You could be playing duo with your sister (if she at least wants a beginner >;-) )

    Ps. buy a MIDI keyboard and a decent MIDI card for your computer.

    RTFM (usually 600 pages).

    It’s fun, and it will tripple the speed with which you will take the solfege course.
