Hello,
I've been thinking about picking piano for a long time, and now that I can afford a keyboard, I might do so. But I don't really have any reason to... it just sounds like it would be fun. I don't have any experience in music, and I don't know how to go about starting. How much do lessons cost, and what is a good way to go about practicing on my own? Any advice for a beginning piano player would be appreciated it.
I fear that I'm just going to quit in a few months, so I've been trying to find more interactive ways to learn before investing in a keyboard. Some of the computer software seems to have interactive activities... but it seems like those might not be very effective. Any thoughts?

I have been taking piano for 12 years and i really enjoy it, so you should take it up! My Lessons are $15 for a half hour, though that is a very generous price, so you will probably pay a little more. To practice just play things slowly and work things out! Enjoy and good luck!11

There are some good teaching programs on PC, you can try MagicScore Maestro for example, it's good for beginners and for professionals alike. With it's virtual piano keyboard you can learn music reading and writing and create your compositions. It helped me on my start, too.
