i also found this really cool tutorial
i play the flute, but have NEVER played piano before
do u think its possible?
o_O If there is a will there is a way. I never really understood why people sit there and watch youtube videos over and over… to copy the fingering for a piece of music. The time you sit there and watch a portion over and over again could be spent learning how to read music so you could not only learn the piece you want to, but others as well. I would suggest you learn the fundamentals of piano, but since you have some musical background this shouldn’t be too difficult for you to grasp. Once you have tackled the basics proceed to learn your piece. Tackle it measure by measure. Do not move onto another measure w/o making sure you have mastered the previous one. Do not plunk yourself down at the piano and attempt to sight read and play at the same time… you won’t really memorize the notes that way. Slow and steady practice is the key. Play it slow…let your fingers memorize the movements. Trying to hack through it fast will not allow you to build muscle memory, not only that when you practice fast and incorrectly… it is hard to break the habit. So practice practice! Best of luck to you
