ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM

RememberIf you have NEVER played piano before even basic chords can be quite difficult.

Go easy on yourself

It takes a while for your mind to get used to the pattern of the keys

and it takes a while for your fingers to get usedto the strange shapes you are putting them in

It will get easier the more you practice.
