Welcome


...between the keys...




A beginner's guide to learning how to play piano



"--but you have to start when you're young."

Music is about willingness to play and youth of heart. Don't let age or myth stand between you and your desire to learn.


Like any language, music has grammatical structure, technique, tone, volume, history, expression, and heart. I understand it may seem overwhelming to tackle an instrument like the piano, but it is my intent to provide you with information that will get you playing as fast as possible. From a musician who has had 17 years of experience, I hope to combine what I have learned from several instruments and offer some insight into the basic concepts and ideas behind the piano. Consider this your working ground. Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, and feedback.

May this be resourceful, motivating, and inspiring for a lifelong hobby and passion.
