If you've ever felt like you're going in circles at the piano, you're not imagining it. Most beginner methods skip the two skills that make everything else click.
You quit piano when you were younger. Maybe you begged to stop. Maybe life just got in the way. Either way, you've probably thought about it since — and wondered if it's too late to go back. It isn't.
There's a common belief that learning piano is something you have to do as a child — or not at all. It's understandable. But it's also wrong. Adults learn piano every day, and many of them progress faster than they ever expected.
Playing piano is the goal. But it's rarely the most important thing a student takes away from lessons. Confidence, persistence, the willingness to do hard things — those travel a lot further than the music does.
My daughter recently tried to convince me to take up running. After a small fit of hysterical laughter, I told her it wasn't for me. But what she said next stopped me — and it had nothing to do with running. It had everything to do with what it takes to push through the hard part of learning anything new.
The chording approach has a great sales pitch. Skip the hard part, play impressive music faster, forget the rest. And if all you want is a handful of popular songs, it might be enough. But if you've ever heard a piece of music and thought I want to play that — you're going to need more.
