- [How to Sit at the Piano Correctly](https://effortlesspiano.com/how-to-sit-at-the-piano-correctly/): A simple guide to piano posture, sitting position and hand position for beginners. It might sound obvious that most people aren’t going to play the piano with their feet and toes, but there are certain ways in which we sit and play the piano that can make a big difference to how comfortable we are when playing. When you’re first learning, you probably don’t think too much about how you’re sitting. You just sit down and start playing. And to a certain extent, that’s fine. You don’t want to become obsessed with every little movement you make. However, there are a […]
- [How to Choose Your First Piano or Keyboard](https://effortlesspiano.com/how-to-choose-your-first-piano-or-keyboard/): Choosing your first piano doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what I’d look for. If you’re thinking about learning the piano, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is: “What piano should I buy?” With so many different types, brands and price ranges available, it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed. The good news is that buying your first piano doesn’t have to be complicated. In this guide, I’ll explain the different types of pianos and keyboards, what I’d recommend looking for, and hopefully help you choose an instrument you’ll enjoy playing for years to come. Before We Begin… Before […]
- [Accessibility, Not Ability](https://effortlesspiano.com/accessibility-not-ability/): The Philosophy Behind Pick Up & Play Blues One of the things that has always frustrated me about learning piano is that people often confuse ability with accessibility. They’re not the same thing. I don’t believe every piece of music should be easy to play. In fact, some of the most rewarding moments happen when you’re learning something that’s just beyond your current ability. That challenge is what keeps you interested. The problem isn’t that the music is difficult. The problem is that it’s often taught in a way that assumes you already know the language. A teacher might say, “Play […]
- [What "Effortless Piano" Really Means](https://effortlesspiano.com/what-effortless-piano-really-means/): Effortless Doesn’t Mean Lazy. It Means Frictionless. When people first hear the name Effortless Piano, they sometimes assume it means learning the piano without effort. It doesn’t. Effortless doesn’t mean lazy. It means frictionless. Learning the piano takes time, patience and practice. There are no shortcuts, and there never will be. So why call it Effortless Piano? The answer comes from my own journey. I started playing the piano when I was young, long before YouTube, online courses and all the resources we have today. I learned from books, the occasional one-to-one lesson, videos and, most of all, by sitting at […]
