For this video, I wanted to create the ultimate guide on how to play piano for beginners!

It's a little long, but I wanted to make sure you had everything you needed to get started... Including melodies, chords, technique, arranging, music theory, and more.

So if you've ever wanted to learn piano but didn't know where to start, I've got you.

Learning how to play piano should be a fun experience, so I tried my best to balance being thorough with keeping the lesson engaging as well.

Enjoy!
