Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I've been playing the piano for 15 years and would recommend that you take it slow,rather than fast!.the most important thing to learn is music notation,that will teach you how to read music and eveything about music!.Then practice,practice,practice,and in a few weeks you will be amazed at what you can play!.So I advise you to learn all you can about music,study It and you will be a great keyboard player!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on what you consider fast!. also how good you are at reading music and your music background!. If you're a beginner, and you practice for a half hour or an hour each day, you'll be able to play the simplest of songs very easy in a couple weeks!. Then it will get easier!. A lot of the play-keyboard-superfast dvd's aren't very good all by themselves and can be frustrating!. Just a fair warning: there are no get-skilled-quick programs!. Your fingers are going to have to get nimble and you'll have to work at the muscle memory in your hands to play any complex chords that actually sound good!.
So make sure your fingers are stretched out before you practice & make sure you have the correct posture!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
