Comments on: Relearning How to Play the Piano http://technomom.com/2008/01/13/relearning-how-to-play-the-piano/ Purposefully perverse since 1995!

One of the reasons I'm so happy is that, unlike an acoustic piano, it doesn't require tuning. Don't get me wrong--I adore acoustic pianos! That's what I learned to play on, and someday, I hope to have a nice one. But we know we're moving again in the not-so-distant future, and in a place as small as we have now, the ability to use headphones with the digital piano is very nice.

As a piano lover I will definitely give this one a try. Thanks.

PM me if you want a specific suggestion, but a search on adult piano methods should turn up a number of good candidates. I'm a guitar player but I learned to play piano by slowing down a player piano (Disklavier in my case), and then learning the left hand part, then adding in the right hand notes, then chords. I'm not "good" but I make music and have fun. It might help to try a piano method aimed at adults, such as Hal Leonard Student Piano Library Adult Piano Method or something similar.

Don't start with old favorite songs. They'll be very very frustrating, making you think "Damn, I used to know this so well!" Start with some new fun pieces. Then once the keys are back in your bones, dig up some old loves." Absolutely my pleasure :) Lati suggested the following “Piano advice here from someone who’s been playing for… 13 years now?

Don’t start with old favorite songs. They’ll be very very frustrating, making you think “Damn, I used to know this so well!” Start with some new fun pieces. Then once the keys are back in your bones, dig up some old loves.”
