Hi,fellows musicians!

I'm new on this board, I compose a bit of music with my midi keyboard and my computer, but I'm tired of not beeing able to play more than a few keys before it sounds wrong with it, and I would like to be able to create more elaborated music.

Do you know some good website, or software which could teach me how to play piano?

Thanks in advance!

Having a teacher is really the best idea... there is nothing like a teacher. That's the only advice I can give you as I don't know of any site/online programs to teach piano.

El tio,  where are you at in playing?  Can you read music, understand chords?  If not you might try:

Here is a link on this site for teaching yourself:

The book Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Theory has a lot of information, and a section on composing and making a pleasant tune.

Good luck!  And, of course, get a teacher!

My advice is to get a teacher. With out one its harder to "polish peices" or play it with the correct dynamics. If getting a teacher is not an option then download songs your trying to learn and match your playing to a recording of it and see if the tempo ect. is all correct. For the composing part i would reall try to get a teacher. hope this helps
