Famously used by artists like Elton John, Sarah McLachlan, and Coldplay, the piano is an excellent introduction to musicianship.

The piano is prized for it’s versatility in accompaniment, performance and composition. It’s also great  fun to play and an exceptional teacher of music theory. The range of music and uses of the piano are so vast, a musician would be hard pressed to find a good reason not to learn the basic components at least.

The awesome thing is that you can learn how to play the piano today, without the cost of expensive lessons and in the comfort of your own home. The method of learning you choose is dependent on your needs and desired outcome.

If you want to take a comprehensive approach, complete with theory, technique, ear training and  music reading, I recommend Rocket Piano. The teaching method is fantastic, and the program is loaded with extras that make the value of the program incomparable.
