Beginning Piano Lessons can be really daunting, especially if you’ve never played an instrument before at all!

Luckily, these days there is a computer game available that makes beginning Piano Lessons much more fun than they ever used to be!

Personally I don’t think that this game can actually be a replacement for music lessons, rather it is an excellent supplement to music lessons with a teacher, or it can be a great way for students to begin.

The game is called Piano Wizard – and it is the leader in the field of music games for the Piano. There are other music games which are based around the guitar, such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, but Piano Wizard is structured all around the piano.

You have a MIDI Keyboard, and hook it up to your computer and away you go.

OK… this might be a bit challenging for the non-technically minded person – Whats a Midi Keyboard? and how do I attach it to my computer?

You can relax. The Piano Wizard company (Allegro Rainbow) have thought of everything and they include all the wires and things you need. You can even purchase a package that has the keyboard, the software and everything for under $200.

For under $200 this is the single best way that you can Begin Piano Lessons – You get the Keyboard, the software and the Midi connector and you’ll be able to get started straight away.

Often you can spend over $200 just on just a learning course, and this wouldn’t even get you the instrument!

Of course if you are really serious you are going to need a more comprehensive instrument that the Piano Wizard Keyboard, but it is still an excellent start to Beginning Piano Lessons.

Jermaine Grigg’s Hear And Play piano course has helped over 200,000 musicians get started learning the piano… All by ear!

This is an incredible story, and has brought the joy of music to so many people who wouldn’t otherwise have had the opportunity to play, simply because they never learned to read!

The 300 page course is packed full of everything you need.. from playing simple melodies to accompanying yourself or singers with chord progressions.

I’m a professional musician, and I play classical piano, but I’ve still found enormous value from working through some of Jermaines Exercises. You’ll learn heaps just by watching sample videos at hearandplay.com so I really do advise checking out what he has to offer.

There is heaps of options including not only the original 300 page course, but a huge amount of DVD learning courses, featuring gospel music and jazz styles.
