How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion

It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages. Giulio Cinelli from Pianosolo.it guides us through this classic topic. Read more

Hi,
Good for you!
1. Get a good teacher. Ask around everyone you know for someone they would recommend. Check ads and websites. Find one that suits your music interests.
2. Get a good piano. An acoustic or digital- you decide. A good acoustic needs more maintenance and is heavier- but normally lasts longer and you can also find great second hand ones.
3. Schedule practicing times. A minimum of 30 min a day to begin with will give you good progress, but you need to stick to it!
4. Make your practice room/corner as inviting as possible.
5. Go to piano concerts, check out piano dvd's, or simply you tube for inspiration.
6. Listen to CD's with great piano performances.
7. Read books about piano playing to keep you inspired.

Have fun!

Depends on what music you want to play.

Gladly, If you'll elaborate a little more about yourself, your musical interests & goals

Without this info, I'll say probably the first step should be finding a piano teacher in your area and taking a few piano lessons.

Get a good teacher. Google piano lessons + your location or piano teacher + your location and see what comes up. Go and have some introductory lessons and see whom you like best.

Good luck!
