Playing Piano Without Reading Music?

Do you need to read music to play the piano? Although many would say yes, I would argue that whilst it certainly helps, it's not a pre-requisite. Music is like any language - first we hear, then we speak (or in the case of music, play/sing) and only later read and write. So it shouldn't stop us in our quest to play piano!

If you're a complete beginner, or a musician who plays another instrument (such as singer/songwriter or a guitarist in a band), check out my "Piano Made Simple" course on Skillshare. The course is designed to help you play your favourite 4 chord songs or make up your own :)
