Beginners Piano Lessons For Musicians

Even if you are already an experienced musician who plays one or more other instruments, you'll need to start off with some basic beginners piano lessons. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can jump the gun just because you already have some kind of musical knowledge, although that will definitely help you progress rapidly.

ADVANTAGES OF LEARNING THE PIANO

Especially if you've never had any sort of disciplined musical training, you might wonder what you'll get out of beginner piano lessons and, hopefully, going on to master the piano.

*Mental stimulation. Research has shown over and over again that musical appreciation and practice stimulate the brain and strengthen the connections between neurons. Musicians tend to have incredible vitality right up to their final days of life, even musicians like rock stars who very often lead otherwise unhealthy lifestyles. Learning to play an instrument also stimulates both hemispheres of the brain, so you might get a more holistic and unified thought process and life perspective from your musical training. Perhaps this is why in some ancient cultures music was considered to be the highest form of intelligence in the world.

• Pleasure. Knowing how to play a musical instrument such as the piano is one of the greatest thrills and deepest joys anyone can ever know in life. As pleasurable as listening to music is, actually being able to play it is at least three times as pleasurable!
• Discipline. The training process you'll go through to learn the piano will instill a great sense of discipline in you. This discipline can then be applied to all facets of your life. You'll find yourself being more patient, careful, persistent, and methodical with other new or difficult things that you're trying to do after you've progressed some with your beginner piano lessons.
• A sense of accomplishment. If you've never really "done anything" outside the ordinary before, you'll feel yourself filling up with a new sensation--a sense of pride and accomplishment. If you have done some other things to give you that sense, then you'll know the joy of adding to it by learning the piano.
• More social opportunities. It's not uncommon for a house to have a piano in it. If you're visiting or at a party and can play that piano, just think of how you'll be able to interact on a whole new level with others, getting them to sing songs together or, if there are other musicians available, you can jam with them.
• Possible career opportunity. If you're younger and learning beginner piano, you just might fall in love enough with it to go on to become a music professor, music therapist, or a professional musician. Just imagine what it would be like to get paid to share the gift of music!
