How to play the keyboard is a question that many people have. You will just have to find what method works best for you. When I first started learning how to play the keyboard, I would listen to a song and pick out certain sounds I could hear. Some songs are easier than others but that's a good inexpensive place to start. The next method was the most common, getting a teacher. I actually had two teachers with two different styles of playing. You will have to find a teacher that fits the style of music you would like to play gospel, country, pop, etc. I took about four lessons from one and about five from the other. The best thing to do, when it comes to practicing anything on the piano keyboard, is to practice slowly. Trust me, you will want to learn as fast as possible but this is not a healthy practice. We've all heard the saying "Practice makes perfect". Well, I am here to tell you that perfect practice makes perfect.
