Greetings.

Greetings. I would like to introduce myself first.
My name is Rui Luís, I am 16 years old and I am from Portugal.
I'm learning to play the piano by myself, alone, with a 4 octaves digital keyboard.
It's horrible. I decided to learn it the past July, and I've progressed quite a bit.
Well, I love to play the piano, and here in Portugal the lessons are too expensive, but sooner or later I will be able to have real lessons. I am thinking about doing some exam at the Conservatory so I could start at a good level. I do believe I have the potential to start at a good level.
At the moment I can play Greensleeves and a valse which I forgot the name of. I can play a little bit of Moonlight Sonata (1st movement), I can play a little bit of Victor's Piano Solo from Corpse Bride's OST (I stopped when I needed one more octave), a little bit of Für Elise (also stopped when I needed one more octave), a little bit of Memory from the musical Cats and a little bit from My Immortal by Evanescence, a little bit of Sick Doll by Tchaikovsky.
What do you think I should try to learn? Some good pieces not very hard, so I could master them, to go to more difficult ones.
Maybe I'll buy a good digital piano in January.

Thanks for your attention.

Hello again. Still no answers.
I'm now learning Bach's Minuet in G. It's very easy. Not that I'm learning it very fastly, but it is being easy to learn.  What pieces would you tell your students to play at levels 2, 3 and 4?
I wanted also to ask: What digital piano do you think is good for learning?
Sorry for being a pain in the ***.  lol

Thanks in advance,

If I remember correctly, Bach has other minuets at that level. I shall go check if I can find them...
Edit: Piano street actually has 3 of them, 2 G+s and 1 g-. I'm not sure which g major you're playing, but those three are a nice set.

I'm playing BWV 114. Now I've stopped for a bit because of school stuff to do, but I'll keep studying it soon.
It's this one, it's a free sample: https://www.pianostreet.com/bach_minuet_in_g_114_psu.pdf
I have BWV 116, do you think I should play it? I've never heard it before, I think.
I want Sick Doll from Tchaikovsky, the full piece. I have to get it somewhere.
What exercises should someone at level 5 be able to do?

Thanks in advance,

Bach menuets are perfect for students at your level. You should check out www.mutopiaproject.com or www.music-scores.com for more of them. My very favorite ones are number 36 (in D minor) and number 5 (in g minor). And if you think it's bad to play in a 4 octave keyboard, let me tell you, I began to learn those pieces with a 4 octave Casio with small keys, for children (but I'm no child!). I moved on to a 5 octave Casio with regular keys a few months ago, and with some luck I'll get my parents to buy a digital piano soon.

Hi again. Thanks for answering so much. You're really helping.
Mine is for kids also, with small keys. Not a Casio, though. Some piano with no brand, and it's not even mine, it's my cousin's.Thanks for your contribution, persona. I'm not feeling as sad as I felt before. lol
I will just learn and practice this pieces, and play it well on my friend's upright. It's a Steinway with a hundred years. Very warm sound. And in January or so I will buy a digital piano. And in a month or two I'll be having lessons. Hehe. Thanks again.

What exercises am I suppose to be able to do at the 5th level? I mean, about scales, arpeggios, and that kind of stuff. Please help.

Thanks once again for your contributions,
