Finally decided to start learning piano...something that I have been thinking about for very long..
Recently, there is a new music school that just open ard my house, as I have never like to travel far to learn, I think this is a good opportunity as is a mere 5mins drive from my house. I have paid in advance 6mths school fee up front 4 lessons a month, 45mins per lesson.
Time really pass very fast....before I know it, 45mins is up..hehe..intersting..thou a bit stress to memorise the different music notes symbol and count for a person with totally no musical backgroound....
I guess is quite important to practise at home so that you can have a feel of how the hand rythm and touch should be....Now I am contemplating if I should buy a new digital piano or a 2nd hand upright piano.....Dilemma...hw hw?
Any one with musical background can please give some advise
