Hey Dave, sorry to see you appear to have become disillusioned on your journey. I know how you feel; I too have thought this is too hard and I have only been learning for a year. Have you been there, where you would rather hoover the carpet than practise? But as my teacher kept telling me, "It ...

Good morning all, thought I would check in with an update. Things haven't gone as planned but not bad over all. I started my Aaron level 2 and I got bored playing the pieces, so Jay my teacher suggested learning standards. Unfortunately, I tried playing an easy version of Bridge over troubled waters...

I'm sure that would damage an acoustic piano and the radiator ca...

Hi Dave, this Interweb thingy is marvellous for putting the cat amongst the pigeons :) . I was fixed on buying a Yamaha, but after reading other peoples opinions on the Kawai Piano; I'm having second thoughts. Going with a tried and trusted brand like Yamaha appeared the right thing to do, but there...

Hi Dave, thanks for your advice and best wishes. I've got my first lesson booked for next Sunday. It's free because we're just sounding each other out. If I carry on with him, the next is half price. Can't be bad.

Hi there. I found this website yesterday, whilst researching a purchase of a digital piano. I spent last night and this morning trawling through all the posts, it has really enthused me to start learning the piano again. I did try about twenty five years ago, but due to various reasons I stopped. No...
