Should I Learn to Play the Piano?
Currently I’m a guitarist/vocalist but have aspirations to compose orchestra type pieces, and to master music theory. I can play the guitar really well but have always wondered whether or not I should invest in piano lessons. What are the benefits of learning to play the piano from a musician’s standpoint? How can learning the piano help improve my songwriting, and help me become a better musician? Can learning the piano help me compose orchestra pieces?
« What are the benefits of learning to play the piano from a musician’s standpoint? »
–> The combinations of string and fret in a guitar make up a note. Since there are six strings and twenty or more frets, the notes are literally « all over the place ». In a piano the keys are laid out in one simple manner, no frets, no strings. So the benefit of playing the piano is the notes are easier to map out.
« How can learning the piano help improve my songwriting, and help me become a better musician? »
–> Songs on piano are usually sentimental so it would be useful if you love sentimental songs.
« Can learning the piano help me compose orchestra pieces? »
–> Of course! Learn how to play the classics (Beethoven, Mozart) and take your cue from them.
. . . .
Oh and yes, you should learn how to play the piano.
