The course is divided into lessons and each lesson there are several videos, exercises and tutorials to learn progressively. In each lesson, you’ll find an explanatory text related to the material contained.
We must study carefully the lessons and videos by order. It will be useful to review them to refine and store content.

This course it is public and free access, and you can use it as you like, share it with others, or use it to teach your students.

About the instrument.

Keyboard Yamaha PSR-E453 we use for this piano course for beginners. But you can use any keyboard or acoustic piano if you have it. This course is called piano and keyboard course because what we will learn is applies to both. Both an acoustic instrument, which therefore has only natural sound, or an electronic keyboard that can have many different sounds.

There are different types of pianos and electronic keyboards. Depending on the model they seem to more or less to an acoustic piano. Apart from the sounds the main difference is in the type of key. In the majority of the keyboards the key is smaller that in an acoustic piano and press it is softer. This is the case of the keyboard Yamaha PSR-E453, an instrument that is suitable for the learning of students of all ages. By the type of key used and why its management is very simple, while it has some great possibilities. We will explore them in this piano course for beginners. With it, we will create some interesting accompaniments that I write and publish on the lessons so you can use them, you have the Yamaha PSR-E453 or not.

Some types of keyboards and electronic pianos there are what are most similar to an acoustic piano. They have a similar key and it also has a similar press. Apart from this, they are larger and have more notes.

About keyboard Yamaha PSR-E453

I have chosen this keyboard for various reasons to make piano course for beginners. First is an instrument that offers a very good value for money, and in addition is a very lightweight and easy to transport. Also we can save it easily if we don’t have a place to leave it permanently. They also include built-in speakers that sound fantastically well, whereupon we will experience more pleasure when interpreting our musical pieces.

Keyboard Yamaha PSR-E453 has also a wide variety of high-quality sounds, which will not be very useful to become familiar with all kinds of instruments, including percussion instruments.

A very important feature and that it has seemed to me fundamental is the fact that this keyboard has a system of automatic accompaniment. This means that we can create very easily and automatically complete accompaniments with a rich instrumentation, including bass, drums, synths, strings, wind instruments, etc. In this way it is much more rewarding and motivate us to continue learning and practising music that we learn much more.

How to study this course of piano for beginners.

The method of study is very simple, just have to do the lessons in order. And watching carefully each one of the videos that appear many times is necessary. In the videos I’m explaining clearly each of the concepts. The go learning progressiveness, is important to understand them and memorize them. Once we have done this in a video of the course of piano for beginners we can move on to the next.

If at any time you don’t understand or seem very difficult maybe you are going too fast. You have to set the pace at which you want to study, but my advice is to do it always in a slow, leisurely. This is how you best learn. Sometimes we go too fast, perhaps by the desire of wanting to learn to play as soon as possible. So doesn’t us have time to assimilate knowledge or memorize the concepts that we are learning. At that time, we have the feeling that everything is very confusing and that the matter is too difficult.

If we feel that it is time to stop. We will review even from the beginning everything that we have already studied. Already you’ll realize that if you do this by making the review will seem everything much easier than in the first. How many more times do this better asimilar what has been learned. You’ll also have more easily towards the most difficult course of piano lessons for beginners.

Method of work and recommendations.

To ensure success in the study, we will need a method of work, i.e. a way of doing things that is effective. The structure of this piano for beginners course is already intended to do so, and as I said before basically is to make the lessons in order, checking and memorizing what we have already studied.

Daily practice

For greater effectiveness what are going to do is to study every day. But we don’t have that long study. At the beginning if you want you can start studying only a short while, e.g. 5 minutes. But it is imperative that if you decided to touch those five minutes you turn it always. That is why it is good to start for a short period, because it is easier to find time to do it. We will learn much more studying 5 minutes a day every day that if we study two hours once a week. This was one thing that I learned from young with my good teachers and I have seen all my life. You will see that if you do you will have guaranteed success.

Review of lessons learned

Another recommendation to improve our effectiveness in making this piano course for beginners is to review what we have learned. We see many times as necessary to the videos we’ve seen again and again practicing the exercises. Also the melodies or parts explaining them. Even when we already know us something nice to do it again to refresh it.That will help us to train our memory, because while we are reviewing we are learning what we already we have made.

Learn something new every time.

And finally this piano for beginners course will be providing us with each new video a new concept. We will learn something new every time, and this is the third recommendation that will help us move forward in our learning, which is that whenever we do a study session we learn a technique, a melody, a ladder or something that is new. Preferably you will learn only one thing each time to facilitate the process.

Learn several things at the same time is not advisable, because it does not allow us to concentrate on what we are studying. This way stimulates our curiosity and our desire to learn something new and harder each time. This surely already have experienced you if you’ve played with computer games, that motivate you to continue playing to next level.Because when it comes to learning to play music or anything else it works exactly the same. We must constantly level up to finally master what we are doing.

What you are going to study.

In this piano for beginners course we will study the basic techniques. We will take on the musical skills for playing melodies and accompaniments of popular songs. You will learn a simple yet highly effective techniques to develop the agility in the fingers and the independence of the hands. We will see major scales and chords that are used to accompany or to play melodies. But do not get too deep into theory or with the intention of becoming a virtuous. Just do things that are entertaining, fun us and motivate us to continue learning.

We will also use keyboard Yamaha PSR-E453 capabilities to familiarize us with different music styles. We listen and use the forsaken by this magnificent instrument accompaniments. All the escorts will be available in the lessons. In this way you can enjoy them even if we don’t have this keyboard or similar.

Course of musical language.

As a complement to this piano course for beginners my recommendation is that you also do the course of musical language. It is a free course that also have at the school of music.It is a very easy and very fun course. In which you will learn basic but very useful concepts to learn to read and write music.

Of course it is possible to make the course of piano for beginners without knowing read music. If you do not want to do so it is not necessary. But I think that it is a great opportunity that you have. You will see that contrary to what many people think reading and writing music is something very easy to do and very entertaining. It has many advantages for the student of music. So I encourage you take a look and start to study it also. It is a course which is also progressive and for which you do not need any prior knowledge.

Reading and writing music has many advantages, because you can take advantage of much written material. There is much available for free so much on the internet as in libraries, or what other musicians that can provide. Do not fail to consider this option. Apart from this not knowing read or write music may be a barrier when it comes to try certain musical activities. For example playing with other musicians, or compose your own songs.
