I’ve been playing piano for about 8 years now but i still cant just hear a song and be able to play it on the piano. like, i think i could be able to figure a song out at some point but it would take forever. i wish i could just hear a song and sit down at the piano and play it. can anyone tell me how to do that or if i can even learn how to do that?

I really, really want to learn how to play piano. My parents don’t have enough money to afford lessons, and I can’t get a job around where I live for another three years since no one hires anyone under sixteen. I don’t have a piano either, but my parents might could get me a keyboard for Christmas.

How hard is it to teach yourself how to play to piano?
I’m a teenager, if it matters.
Anyway, I have some time to kill this summer and thought I might take up an instrument. I used to play all through kindergarten, but I probably won’t remember anything but how to play Hot Cross Buns.
Any who, with a book or something, how hard will it be to teach myself? My brother knows a bit himself, so he might help me get started but he’s moving out this fall.

Part 1 of Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven in C# minor. Hey guys, hope you enjoy part one. Please leave me some notes on how to improve my tutorial videos – Any comments are appreciated. Here are all the notes for Part 1. This should be used in conjunction with the video as this will probably be hard to follow if just read by itself. I’m hoping this isn’t too complicated; if it is please let me know and then I’ll try to make it better. Notes to the left of the slash are what the left hand plays and what’s right of the slash are what the right hand plays. Notes that are together with no commas in between are to be played together (as can be seen by octaves in the left hand). If there is a dash to the left of the slash, nothing is played in the left hand. When there is a x2 or x4 with the notes, only the right hand is to be played that many times. Hopefully this can be of help, if not I’ll try to make it easier to understand.
