Learning Piano as an Adult

Learning piano as an adult has unique benefits that can make the journey more rewarding. Unlike children, adults often approach learning with clear goals and a strong sense of purpose. This focus gives adult learners the freedom to choose what they want to play. It allows them to decide how to practice, making the experience deeply fulfilling.

Adults also have better self-discipline, which helps in building consistent practice habits. They know it’s important to set aside time each day. Even if it’s just a few minutes, it helps to make steady progress. This commitment often leads to faster and more effective learning.

Another advantage is the ability to connect emotionally with music. Adults have life experiences that add depth to their playing, allowing them to interpret pieces with more expression and feeling.

Finally, learning piano as an adult offers mental benefits. Studies show that learning an instrument boosts memory, improves concentration, and reduces stress—great reasons to start playing!

So, if you’re considering piano as an adult, embrace it! You’re bringing unique strengths to your learning journey that can make it even more satisfying and impactful.

Decided to Start Piano Lessons – What Piano is the best for Beginners?

One of the most common questions we hear from new students is, “What piano should I get?” And they are right, because choosing the right instrument can make a big difference in your learning experience.

For beginners, we recommend a digital piano with 88 fully-weighted keys. These keys mimic the feel of an acoustic piano, which is essential for developing finger strength and technique. The good news is that you don’t have to break the bank. Reliable digital pianos start at around 450 euros. So, this makes them an affordable choice.

In our course, we cover this topic in greater detail. We explain the differences between acoustic and digital pianos. We also cover key features to look for and how to choose the best piano for your needs. Our students are welcome to reach out with specific questions — we’re here to help guide you!

Join our Facebook group! So you can connect with other students. They have advice and recommendations for you based on their own experiences. As a result, through community support, it will make easier for you to find the perfect piano for your journey.
