Learning piano in New Orleans 

Have you decided piano will be the instrument to learn in 2022? We say the excellent choice to that. A piano is a truly special way of learning your favorite melodies, reading sheet music, and tonal harmony. Lots of students access other instruments later on after having learned the chords, too. So, the question you should ask your Superprof tutor is - which song is simple enough for learning how to play, starting by left-hand, and learning to gradually use both hands? 

What song should I learn on the piano? 

If you’re here to learn in a fun way and explore music through your favorite pop tunes, the following is your list : 

• Ed Sheeran - Perfect
• Billie Eilish - My Future
• Taylor Swift - The I 
• Shawn Mendes - Stitches

This list is proof that even you as a beginner can bring a powerful melody to life on piano from your own home. 

Most contemporary songs don’t use more than 5 octaves. A full piano keyboard, if you want or own one, consists of 88 keys spanning seven octaves plus a minor third. While every pitch will sound different, the notes repeat in a series ranging from A-G. To sum it up, the distance between a note and the next time that note repeats on the keyboard is called an octave. Now, how do you know if you can learn all of that and more in a short period? 

Can I learn piano in 6 months? 

Let’s say you have started learning a foreign language, for instance, Spanish. You will probably agree that in the beginning was a lot of unstructured vocabulary coming to your success in holding a casual conversation was slow. Your language experience is a very good way to describe piano learning.

All the finger placements and playing with both hands eventually start to function, though, and in three months of weekly practice, you get to a stage where your tones feel harmonious and you have gained confidence in playing compositions out of sheet music.

Yes, that is a success, and a major one: you’ve just learned a language. A piano language. And that is possible in six months. Your initiative at getting a one-on-one tutor on Superprof is paying off. Showing your piano skills to a tutor is an important thing.  New Orleans has a huge music scene and you can enter it thanks to experienced musicians. These chords will become a stepping stone for your musical experience and also a sense of what you expect from yourself as an artist or a musician. 

There are several ways to practice and try to get your music skills out there : 

• Apply to be a piano player at your school’s event
• Offer to play a simple classical composition at a local congregation
• Check out your school’s drama class and offer to play piano during their play
