Learning how to play piano can often be a misunderstood phrase. Is learning the piano really something that is easy to do? Overall, it can easily seem and feel like a complex undertaking for people that are new. However, if we put it through the process of simplification, it would seem far more attainable.
So how do we make something simple?
Normally a large overview of everything necessary for a particular task can only serve to complicate matters. Although details are a good thing, it requires the right time and place to be most effective. For us to achieve easy piano lessons while we're in this learning stage, it will be necessary to make the concepts as general as possible.
Let us use the correct posture while sitting at a piano for our example. Sitting in a certain way will allow us to be comfortable yet effective. It spans from the sitting position on the seat, the elbows, height, back, feet, and a handful of other things. Each of these has specific details to be done.
This can be simplified by making the entire concept as general as possible. All we really need to know is when at a piano, we will want to have a good posture. To start with this correct posture, we now break things down in bite sized portions.
First off we will want to sit a little more towards the front of the chair and keep a straight back. This alone, and only this is what we pay attention to for now. Keep it simple, practice it, and get used to it.
Once used to this and comfortable with it, we add a little more to our posture. Now, we will place our feet a little extended beyond our knees while keeping it flat on the ground. At this point, we should be comfortable and accustomed to the task in the prior paragraph. Our process of making things simple should be a little more clear at this point.
I could have said and described the proper position and angle for everything necessary regarding the proper posture while playing the piano. This would only serve to complicate the matter. Getting started and putting what was learned into practice would be a monumental task if that were the case.
Working on a step by step basis is also part of making beginner piano lessons be a possibility as we have done. The relatively small bits of information we apply with a simple step based approach will help us to learn and understand the information more effectively.
Once these simple things are done and practiced, we can gradually add the details and refine what we do. By the time we reach this point, the basics have become second nature and all of the fine details will become far easier to add to the things we have learned already.
