With so much basic information to cover, Get Piano Lesson 1 continues here with this second installment (video 2 of 3) where you can watch me demonstrate proper fingering on the piano. Next, it’s your turn to join me as we play our first five piano notes in the Middle C position using a legato playing style. Nothing too heavy at this point… but just wait until next lesson! To get the complete story behind this video, just visit me online at: www.get-piano-lessons.com

If you’re left-handed, this next piano lesson should be a breeze! Now that we’ve played our first five piano notes using our right hand, it’s time to learn the NEXT five notes you should learn on the piano using your left hand. Still nothing too fancy at this point, although I did feel a slight urge to begin the lesson with one of my favorite Chopin tunes.
