Why can it be so hard to keep motivated to play and learn the piano??  

It's tough sometimes isn't it... you watch your favourite pianists or just child prodigies on Youtube and instead of inspiring you to keep playing piano, you sometimes feel the absolute opposite... DEMOTIVATION!!  I have it all the time, in fact I had a big dollop of demotivation immediately prior to making this video series. I felt that I wasn't improving, I sucked, I couldn't play any of the pieces I was learning... it was terrible guys!  

And it kind of inspired me to do this video...  We all experience demotivation from time to time when learning and playing piano, and I wanted to share some of my best (tried and tested) strategies for dealing with the 'Monday's', and getting your sparkle back!  This is a 3 part series covering 7 of my most useful tips for getting, and most importantly, keeping motivated when learning the piano.  Please let me know your experiences and any strategies or tips you have, in the comments.  Oscar :-) xx

As an adult beginner I thought others may benefit from following my progress with the piano.   It has always been a lifelong ambition of mine to learn the piano and play publicly with confidence, joy and skill. I have been practicing now for exactly a year and I have learned so much that could help others who are also starting to learn this amazing instrument.  Learning the piano can often be challenging and isolating, so my goal is to share my experiences with others and to help you not feel alone. 

I'm going to be real and honest, I'm going to include my outtakes and mishaps, my goals and aspirations, and my tricks and tips.  I'm a piano beginner and proud! 👍🎹 I hope you enjoy my Journey  Oscar
