People who have learned piano as an adult, how did you do it?
Hi! As the title says, I (32F) am looking for advice on how to learn piano as an adult. I was taking lessons before I started my masters degrees but I was definitely struggling to get the hang of it. I’ve recently finished with my program and am really hoping to get back to it but I’m definitely on a budget so I’m looking to do as much on my own as possible before getting a teacher again.
Were there any apps that were helpful in learning notes or reading music? Do you have any suggestions for things to do to practice on my own?
I was starting from scratch when I took lessons and I never progressed particularly far so I’m basically starting from scratch again. I have never played an instrument successfully. I was the singer for my high schools jazz band so I have some familiarity with music but that was a lifetime ago! I have an electric keyboard but no books or anything. Any advice is welcome! Thank you! 🫶
EDIT: Thank you so much everyone for your responses!! I’m going to start working on responding. I’m definitely going to get a teacher again I just wanted to start learning the basics on my own :) I felt like when I was taking lessons before I hadn’t learned any of the basics on my own so I felt like I didn’t know how to practice. So this is all super helpful information! Thanks again :3
