wanna learn how to play the keyboard better

[lyons238]

thanks for the input guys.

i wish i knew someone that was very good at piano so they could teach me in a not so formal way.

i do learn better when im shown how to do things and explained in person. but im sure i can get it with a lot of perseverance and dedication. slowly but surely.

If you're motivated to learn by yourself, try this book :

The keyboard is actually pretty easy to learn and there's no need to be an awesome player to be able to play awesome EDM melodies. Paying lessons are a waste of money unless you want to play complex jazz/classical pieces imo.

Off topic but still relevant : learning music theory works well with learning to play the keyboard and will definitely help writing better music.
Here's another great book if you're up for it : http://www.amazon.com/Music-Theory-Comp ... 322&sr=8-1

yeah i was already looking at that one. which would you recommend of the two? im leaning towards the for computer musicians because i read that the author uses screen shots of the piano roll vs music notes (which i cant read). and he references to reason, so it would be relevant to me.

Cant vouch for it as yet. Read about a million reviews tho and people swear by it! My Mrs bought it for me and not had a chance to sit down with it yet. looks pretty comporehensive tho. U can download the first 6 lessons for free
