Taking piano lessons as an adult is great if you want to bond with your children, or have a productive hobby that stimulates your mind and fingers. Music making makes adults healthier. There are significant decreases in anxiety, depression, and loneliness following music lessons. These are factors that are critical in coping with stress, stimulating the immune system, and in improved health. So, if you have been thinking of taking up piano lessons or any musical activity after all these years… it looks like it’s a great idea!

Five Tips for Learning Piano as an Adult

1. Set a goal. It could be a piece you’ve always loved, a level or grade to reach, or even how often to play. Having a concrete goal will help you see your own progress and give you something to work toward.
2. Have patience. Learning any instrument takes time and effort. There’s a lot involved, and it will all come with practice!
3. Set a practice routine. Even just ten minutes a day will bring results, and you’ll feel good for having done it!
4. Be okay with mistakes. They’re a natural part of learning.
5. Celebrate accomplishment and effort. We often have a tendency to focus on what we’re doing wrong. Instead, try to focus on what you’re doing right – you’ll be happier with your progress and more motivated to continue!
