How do I learn to play a song on the piano for my girlfriend?

Monkeyman asked:

I don’t know how to play the piano or know any songs.. I can’t even read any music but I know this would be perfect.. Any easy romantic songs or any help as to how I could learn a song?
Thanks everyone.

    CHANGE YOUR NAME OR I WILL REPORT.

    first of, you need a piano. try getting a tutor for a simple piano piece. cause i dont think you can play a song by just listening to it if you dont even know how to play a chord

  3. Morgan Says:

    depends on the song
    helps

    you could type the name of the song followed by the words ’sheet music’ into a search engine, or type the name of the song into youtube and then type the word ‘tutorial’ after it.

    get someone who knows how to play the piano and ask him/her to teach your how to play by memory … if not just record a romantic piano song than play it and pretend to play the piano when the music is playing I did that trick to my g/f ……… and she was impress ……….

    You gotta learn to play first buddy. Keep practising the song you like and then when you have mastered it, play it for your girl.

    Best to get a tutor…especially if you have no idea how to play at all. I will teach you how to play twinkle twinkle little star to get you started. :)

    Sit at the center of the piano, so that you are looking at the manufacturer’s name. You will see there are two black keys, a space, 3 black keys, a space, etc. If you look directly down from the manufacturer’s name, there will be two black keys. The white key on the left hand side of the first of the two black keys is middle C. This note is your bread and butter. (if you’re confused right now….google piano notes and find a labeled picture to help you). The black keys are called “sharps”…and for the time being we’re just going to ignore those completely. The white keys starting from middle C are as follows: C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C (and the pattern repeats up and down). Now, armed with that knowledge…here’s how to play twinkle twinkle little star:

    CCGGAAG,FFEEDDC,GGFFEED,
    GGFFEED,CCGGAAG,FFEEDDC

    I put the commas in there to help you distinguish verses.

    So…there you are. You are well on your way to being a pianist.

    (I know these are a little out of reach for a beginner….but how about Clare De Lune, or Fur Elise? Everyone knows them…and I think they’re romantic).

    first of all
    learn the basics of notes and reading them etc..
    get a keyboard coz a piano will cost you a fourtune
    find an easy piece so you can learn it quickly
    get a music sheet and find it on youtube as well..
    thats going to take you approx. 5 months or so.
    its kinda not worth it.
