Piano? Is it worth it?

Question

Is learning the piano worth it?
I heard it helps with your singing...like with your tone and stuff because your singing with the piano....is it true???

Answer 1

I have been playing the piano for 8 years and I believe its worth it and true.
Knowing how to play piano does help with your tones, because your listening to a key being played and repeating that melody. Instead of improving the melody, you can hear it, then repeat it.
Also you can just sit down and practice with yourself instrumentally and vocally anytime you want and not having to play a cd or have someone else play the piano for you.
Not only are you getting in touch with the musical side of life it also helps you with your learning.
A study as shown that a person who knows a musical instrument is more able to focus on their works and be a better learner.
For students who are in school, the ones that know and learn about music normally have better grades then the ones who dont.
Also piano is a key instrument....pretty much if you know piano then you can play any other instrument.

Answer 2

Sure, it's worth it. You'll get out of it what you put into it.

If you want to play piano to accompany your singing, though, you may not want to take traditional piano lessons. You can learn to play chords and the melody from "fake books" in a very short time.

The best way to learn this I've seen is the "Play Piano in a Flash" approach. He shows you how to make chords (any chord) with your left hand and play the melody line with the right.

Regardless, if you sign up for lessons, you'll know in a couple of months whether playing piano is your passion. Practicing should be a joy, not a chore. I taught myself to play piano, which was a lot of work, but it didn't seem so because I just loved doing it.

If it's not your passion, the "Play Piano in a Flash" method will let you have quick success with a fun little hobby.

Hope this helped. :-)

Learning the Piano helps you to identify pitch. It also uses another are of your brain, which when connected to the areas you already use to sing, allows you to prioritize that information more readily, leading to greater memory retention. If you learn to play the piano, even a little, you can sound out what you are having trouble hearing. This might save you hours of stumbling around strictly by voice, or the trouble and expense of hiring an accompanist every time you want to work on something you can't quite get. Learning the piano is good for your fingers, your head and your soul. Go for it.

Answer 4

Absolutely! OMG, how many vocalists have to depend on an accompanist to figure out their music for them! Many can't sight read which is a huge benefit to a vocalist and obviously a piano player can sight read, your ear for music also gets more in tune... there's just so much you can do if you can play the piano! I say if you have the opportunity, do it!

Answer 5

Since I was little I have always wanted to play. I’m now 38 years old, have never played, and with this program I was able to go through the books and videos step by step and now I’m purchasing piano books to play songs to enjoy. Learn here https://tr.im/LearnPiano
I have to say that my husband was very skeptical but now he is a true believer in this teaching program
