Trumpeter who wants to start piano.....

[stradivarius43]

Hi!
This forum looks great and I think it will help me alot.
My name is Elaine I am 16, and have been playing trumpet for 5 years.
I plan on being a music major in college and I have been thinking maybe it is time to learn the piano.
I have minimal skills on the piano, I know some chords, and I can play some simple songs with base parts.
I was thinking I could just teach myself from instruction books, but the people at tumpetherald.com told me I should probably get a teacher, they sent me to this site.
So, I live in Lansing MI, do any of you know anyone that is a reasonable price? I was thiniking of biweekly lessons or even monthly because I take trumpet lessons weekly and that takes alot of my money.

Hello and Welcome,

Yes, get a teacher. But until then, find a piece of music you really like and try teaching yourself. You obviously know how to read music, you're half way there. You will soon pick up where everything is.

Have fun and enjoy.
