​START PIANO:
WHAT YOU NEED FOR SUCCESSFUL LEARNING!

Or, read my piano blogs for detailed suggestions and recommendations. Piano students need a quality instrument, whether an acoustic piano or digital keyboard (see below for recommended products).

​If you opt for an electronic keyboard, I highly recommend the products below. You'll need headphones, a sustain pedal, USB cords to connect with a computer, and good lighting.

Piano students also need a quality piano method series that keeps the student's interest and provides a step-by-step roadmap from the first piano lesson to maintaining momentum for continued piano learning.

​I recommend any of the methods below, as well as the piano music books for added fun.

Once you get started, or if you're already proficient with your piano skills, and are interested in exploring computer-based music, checkout my Music Resources.

Digital Piano Keyboards & Accessories

The following are accessories, digital pianos and digital keyboards I recommend for all levels of piano music-making. These are a small sample of electronic piano keyboards that can be used for home practice, composition with a computer setup, or portable use for the working musician. 

An advantage of playing piano music on a keyboard is the use of headphones. This allows the player to enjoy music regardless of their schedule, without disturbing others.

All these are also compatible for use with computer music-making. The joy of creating digital piano music is exponentially greater with the use of virtual piano samples. The quality of piano sounds available for direct download is impressive.

Digital pianos, which are made with a stand built-in, are great options for piano learning. They typically have excellent weighted-key action, 3-pedals connected (versus only one sustain pedal), and generally have good quality piano sampled sounds built-in.

See my 'Music Making Accessories' section below for additional items for home studio-based music exploration.

Piano Method & Technique Books 

The following are piano method and music books I've used to teach or learn piano. I highly recommend these as proven methods for musical progress. They provide the piano learner with quality musical compositions, technique and music theory basics, and step by step curriculum for advancing from beginner to advanced piano levels. 

I started teaching with Alfred and Bastien piano methods. Many of my students enjoyed and were successful using these. I gravitated toward using Faber & Faber and found great success with my piano students' level of engagement and joyful progress with these publications. 

You'll also find some great editions of classical music and technique books here. If you're interested in learning piano or progressing to the next level, all these books are recommended and enjoyable learning paths.

Piano & Music Theory ​Learning Tools


Graham Fitch Piano Practice Series

I don't often recommend online piano-learning tutorials. But, London-based Graham Fitch is a phenomenal piano educator. His video tutorials with Piano Magazine are impressive masterclasses. Checkout his video for beginner to intermediate piano players on practicing technical exercises and scales here. Below are  a few of his amazing books on practicing piano.

Piano Music Books

The following list of piano music books are those I find enjoyable for the intermediate to advanced piano player. From the classics, to ragtime, Disney, Star Wars, pop/rock, and popular musicals like Hamilton, these books have something for everyone.
