We know that you probably already understand the excitement that comes from being able to play the piano. Whether you've spent years enjoying music from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, or more modern day players, we know they've won the hearts of many audiences over the years.
Take Jim Brickman for instance; the guy is the most versatile we've ever seen. He can play various genres, and do so while performing his own compositions. You can hear his music just about anywhere from jazz and inspirational stations, to pop and new age arenas.
If that isn't you, and you prefer more of the rock keyboard players, there are plenty available. Whether it's Rick Wakeman, Tony Banks, Dennis De Young or David Sancious, each one of them has played for popular artists. We're pretty sure you've heard of Yes, Genesis, Styx, Springteen, Santana or Sting right? Oh, and let's not forget the rock piano players like Elton John, Billy Joel, Carole King, Paul McCartney, and Carly Simon.
Even if you have never liked classical music before, you might begin to enjoy it once you have started to play the piano. It presents a challenge and is very satisfying to master. Some of the greats are Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, and Brahms.
There will come a time when someone just like you may feel the need to emulate one of the individuals we mentioned above. Heck, maybe you'll be good enough to play in a band or work on a solo career. Even if this doesn't work out financially, it's always nice to be able to entertain yourself, your friends, and family members when they come over.
There are other benefits to playing the piano as well. One is relaxation. When you feel upset, it is very therapeutic to play the piano for awhile. If you are angry, playing the piano can release your frustrations. Your playing will soothe your nerves if you are anxious. If you are feeling down, you can start with slow songs and build up to more up-tempo, happier-sounding songs. This will often lift your sad mood.
Those who enjoy playing can build this into a secondary or even full time income. Granted, some piano players earn very little, but there are others who enjoy unlimited financial gains if they are both talented and lucky enough to be seen.
Another reason to learn to play piano is to develop discipline. If you are someone who starts and stops activities without giving them a fair shot, you might have better luck with the piano. It gives rewards at every level, keeping you motivated to stay at it and work harder.
Most importantly, compared to playing vocal music, this is one of the easiest things to learn. You probably don't want to have to deal with playing slightly above or below the singer, but if you work with the vocal kind you will. Instead, when you play the piano this will never happen unless it's out of tune. This means you would need a new technician to come out and fix it.
The main reason anyone should learn to play the piano is for their own fulfillment. No matter what that means to you, you will be happy when you have strive to reach your full potential. You will feel joy when you play a composition well. You will be a happier person for letting music into your life. - 30455
