Teaching myself, what book should I use?
on: December 08, 2004, 07:25:06 PM
Hello,

I am going to be teaching myself to play the piano and I would like some advise on what book would be best for me.

I have some music background already.  I played the trumpet for eigth years, the flute for a couple years, and I taught myself how to play the guitar and have been playing the guitar for four years.  So I can read music and I know a little about cords.

The biggest things is that I have no idea where to put my hands on the piano, what fingers to use for each note or cords, etc.  I have never had any piano lessons before.

So I am looking for a good book that I can use to teach myself.  Any advise would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanx,
Joshua
