Piano learning sequence

The piano is a difficult instrument to learn in people's eyes, unlike the guitar, which has a very large number of people learning it. Although there may not be more people learning the piano than the guitar. After all, the size of the piano is too large, resulting in a slightly smaller number of students, but it is still more people than other musical instruments. There are already a huge number of people learning piano, including not only young children, but also many adults.

Is there any difference between adults studying on their own and teenagers studying with a teacher? In fact, there are many differences. First of all, people in the world generally believe that learning from a teacher is the way to become a talent. But not everyone thinks so. Anyway, many self-study people do not think of finding a teacher to learn. They can study for a whole day with a book, a piano, and a piece of music they like, and then until this piece Only when you have mastered the music will you move on to the next one. In short, it depends on your perseverance. Today, let’s talk about the order in which you should learn the piano by yourself.
