How hard is it to learn to play piano?

[edison]

Well, I really wanna learn how to play piano just for fun. How hard is it to learn if I teach myself reading up websites and stuff like that? How long would it take to finally be pretty good at playing?

im not sure because for me i took piano class at school for one semester and i first learn how to hit the abc first and then easy songs and read the notes, but now i cant even read notes that good now. i dont even remember any songs except my bro good at piano so he teach me some songs.

You think it's possible if i could learn the piano in half a year? That meaning playing simple songs and reading notes.

Haven't you learned to like read notes in like primary school? Like the staff and FACE and Empty Garbage Before Dad Flips. and that kind of stuff. I don't know it right off, I still need to think

If you really wanted to, you could probably learn to play in half a year, I wish my parents had signed me up for lessons when I was younger.

Yea I know how to read notes for trumpet since I played that for 4 years in primary school (god I wish i didn't choose trumpet lol). I don't remember anything about playing music anymore since I stopped since end of grade 8.

Oh, don't worry. If you work hard and learn the basics then you pretty much will have the hang of it. If you practice a lot I think you would be suprised with your progress...

Actually, I was on Youtube the other day and I came across this guy who teaches you how to play piano, it's a bit more "hard core" stuff, but i tried to follow along and I actually got the hang of it (though I have no experience with pianos)
