| 1372794 | 2014-04-15 10:31:00 | recently, like a year ago, i decided to take advantage of a piano in our home, I realise talent and ability are essential but never realised how difficult it is to learn and play, I even had lessons from a piano teacher - there are musical genii out there, Stevie Wonder, Paul MCartney to name a couple but to some of us it appears to be akin to a foreign language - any sympathic comments out there? | jayal (1291) | ||

Do not be discouraged if you do not progress as fast as you would like. It is worth the effort. At the very least you will gain a good understanding of music and a very real appreciation of those that can play an instrument well. | CliveM (6007) | ||

Yeah, it would be easier if we were under 10 :( |

| 1372798 | 2014-04-16 00:05:00 | I learnt the piano as a youngster and I think that it made a difference that I learnt at an early age. But I do not have talent, just ability. I have noticed that people with talent do not necessarily need music and still play beautifully. I need the music or I can't play a note. As Cato says, "it would be easier if we were under 10." Very true. Learning anything at that age is much easier. Music is a very important part of our lives. It will be hard work but worth it in the end. Best of luck in your endeavour. |

| 1372800 | 2014-04-16 02:07:00 | Practice, practice, practice ad nauseum. Agreed. A lot of those students you see at piano recitals have been practicing up to 8-9 hours a day 6 days a week. |
