Is there a way for a kid with virtually no musical experience to learn to play the keyboard on the net 4 free?
I want to learn to play the keyboard/piano. I don’t know how to read music and have never had lessons. I especially want to learn how to play some Coldplay songs ex: Clocks, The Scientist. What should I do?

Hi lagunachica,
As someone who took piano lessons for 9 years I can tell you that it is not recommended to start playing without a teacher.
The reason is that the computer cannot watch and analyze the way we play and perform. Especially in the beginning, it’s VERY important to develop good habits, or more correctly it is very important not to develop bad ones, which is easy when you don’t have anyone to support you and watch after you.
I’d recommend a good, supporting teacher for the first year at least. Then the kid can truely decide whether he/she likes to play the keyboard or not.
Good luck !
Itay.
