Enjoy Playing the Piano

A piano is a beautiful instrument, it looks good and sounds even better. There are different types of pianos, different styles and different sounds. Buy the one that will give you the most pleasure both playing and listening to.

Sit at the piano, even before you even take one lesson. Play the keys, listen to the sound, and enjoy just going up and down keys with your fingers.Make believe a new friend is visiting, and you have to get to know each other. Have fun, play the black keys, and listen to how different they sound from the white keys.
Feel excited about the prospect of playing this instrument. Do you want to learn how to play Classical Music, or do you just want to play songs that you can sing to , with friends and family. Make the decision about whether you are going to be committed to practicing every day, for at least an hour. Whatever you decide will be important for you to really enjoy playing.
Make that decision and then find a teacher to teach you how to play. Either way, you have to practice and learn how to read music, notes and scales, and most important 'timing'
Enjoy playing because you made the choice of what type of piano you want to play. Do not let anyone force their decision on you. If you just want to have fun, play and sing with friends, read 'cheat' music, instead of long serious pieces, then do it. The main thing is, you should enjoy playing and listening to the piano.
Try playing with someone else.
If there is someone also learning the same piece, it will do you good to have competition and have someone to beat.
