Ready to finally start tickling the ivories in 2025? Here are the best methods for going from beginner to expert on the keys right now.
Method #1 YouTube
When I first started playing way back in 1997, I had to sit through boring lessons. I quit after a year, but found myself pulled back to my piano. Having learned how to read sheet music helped me pick up songs but it wasn't until YouTube came out that I really started to learn new songs fast.
I'd just type in "song" + "piano" and I'd have a bunch of tutorials I could watch. There are even more now than there ever were before.
