Technique is everything. Get it right from the beginning, and you’ll learn faster and more efficiently. Get it wrong, and not only will you be slower and less efficient, but further down the line, you’ll get into trouble with tension pain, RSI and other horribly achy things. It can all be avoided by starting off with the right technique.
Playing the keyboard is a completely different skill from learning to read sheet music. Just as learning to read and write go hand in hand, they are nevertheless different skills. Learning to play and read music is the same. We believe in splitting up these tasks into two clear categories, and attacking them from different angles.
We all have good days and bad days. The difference between successful people and those who struggle is that the winners know how to motivate themselves through the bad days. Read our guide to keyboard practice to find out more.
