I do not want anything like playing the piano! Teach you!

Often, when a child is forcibly taken to music school from childhood and forced to sit for hours at the instrument, it causes him more hatred than love of music. But it happens that those parents who do not try to make a genius of their genius or an artist, a musician or an athlete, the child himself begs them: "I do not want anything like playing the piano! Teach !!! "

Perhaps a child who himself expresses a desire to learn to play the piano should be sent to a music school or hire him a teacher.

And how to act in this case, if a person is already at an age, and the dream to learn how to play the piano does not leave it? After all, if lessons on the specialty are held individually, then in the educational institution there are other, collective classes. No one will argue that it is very embarrassing for an adult or even an elderly person to go to solfeggio, music and choir lessons with kids!

Cynics now laugh, saying: "What nonsense! As if an adult man can do nothing more than play the piano! And nothing will come of this - the old people have their fingers clumsy and their brains dried up! "

But this statement is incorrect. For the implementation of any dream age is not a hindrance! And an example of this is the elderly Americans, the Germans, the British. Only in Russia the elderly person is looked at as a waste material.

Of course, to become a famous pianist or solo on the stage of the theater, a self-taught pianist can not. But to deliver to himself and his family a few pleasant minutes, having played a not very complicated play or having performed accompaniment to a choral performance at a festive table, he will be quite capable. And to make the dream come true, these people have nothing else to do but learn how to play the piano on their own.

There is also one more myth in the people, saying that only a person with a beautiful musical ear can learn to play a musical instrument . To refute it, it is enough to cite as an example of electronic executors. They do not have any rumors at all, but they play! Perform actions for the specified program.

Consequently, a person who does not have hearing can also learn to perform the necessary actions. And the more accurately he will do it - the more correctly will sound the play he performs.

And you can not refute another myth that says that the piano is now outdated - there are so many electronic tools around! On them, and the kid can play, because the melody program is already embedded in the toy. Yes, that's it, that's a toy. To compose a play on these electronic devices is quite difficult, and the reproduction turns out to be "unfeeling", the same loudness. And the very word "piano" is translated as "loud and quiet".

Particular difficulty in acquiring the skills of the game is represented by chords, since it is necessary to play the piano with both hands simultaneously and, unlike the accordion and accordion, the basses must be played by pressing each note of the chord.

And yet, the question of how to learn to play the piano at home, there is an answer. There are excellent tutorials for playing the piano. In them the musical reading and writing is stated in simple and accessible language, the practical exercises fixing the theory are offered. Also, tutorial articles in tutorials are accompanied by photographs, which clearly show how to sit behind the instrument, how to put your feet, keep your elbows and hands, how to play the piano .

For many years the best "silent teacher" in this area is considered to be the "Self-teacher of piano playing", whose editors are Model L. and Zimina O. The book also gives the notes of the plays in order of increasing complexity of the performance.

The second option for self-study is video lessons. They can both be purchased in special disks, and downloaded from the Internet. So the main thing in playing the piano is desire, perseverance and hard work!
