Christine Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I would love to "reteach" myself piano. I used to play when I was younger and am told I was very good. (Everybody told me that at the time, but I had a serious inferiority complex and never felt good about it.) I do know I advanced beyond the skills of 3 different teachers, and my mother was having major difficulty finding a 4th. . . It's been about 20 years since. My MIL recently gifted us with a player piano (doesn't have a full size keyboard, family "heirloom"), but I would like to "reteach" myself. Any suggestions as to how best to go about this? (Of course, I could just cheat and put in the payer rolls. :lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Do you have any of the sheet music from your childhood? I found that quite helpful. Depending on the piece it didn't take long before I was playing again. I think you'll be amazed at how much you have retained, once you get in some practice.

MomOfOneFunOne Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I was in (almost) the same situation. I really wanted to play the piano but life just kept getting in the way. Finally, I decided to start taking lessons again. Somehow, paying for the lessons and having outside accountability kept me at the piano whereas, without that, life kept me away. I love my lessons and playing for my family! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
