Alan Learns Piano

I started learning piano in January 2026, shortly after retiring.

This channel follows my progress from complete beginner onwards: lessons, practice, exam preparation, new pieces, mistakes, breakthroughs and the occasional performance that actually goes to plan. I’m sharing the real learning process, rather than only polished final versions.

I had my first weekly face-to-face lesson on 29 January. In June 2026, I passed my Grade 1 exam with distinction, and I’m now working towards Grade 2.

I play a Casio PX-350 and hope the channel will be useful and encouraging for other adult beginners, especially anyone wondering whether it is too late to start.

I’d love to hear about your own piano journey, so please leave a comment and follow along as I work towards the next grade.
