As a new hobby you can start from home, some of you might be thinking about getting into keyboards.

Keyboards are great because you can adjust the volume and use headphones or earphones, so you can play without worrying about the location.

To be a bit blunt, they’re also affordable, which makes them easy to try.

In this article, I’ll introduce training videos recommended for beginners.

They explain the basics clearly, making them perfect for foundational practice if you want to take your playing up a notch.

How to definitely play it with both hands

For those who have taken piano lessons, playing with both hands isn’t difficult, but for complete beginners, playing the piano with both hands—doing different things with the left and right—can feel almost impossible.

This video helps lower that hurdle.

Start by choosing a song everyone knows and begin the left hand with a very simple pattern, building confidence that you can play with both hands.

Rather than starting with something difficult, it’s better to stack up simple steps.

For someone who’s never played the piano, just imagining playing one chord after another might make your head feel like it’s going to explode.

This video teaches an easy way to play accompaniment for people like that.

By first practicing in C major, which doesn’t use any black keys, you can play clearly and easily.

With the left hand, just press the same C in rhythm; with the right hand, which is a bit easier to move, keep the same hand shape and simply shift to the neighboring keys like stamping—this alone lets you play an accompaniment.

Give it a try!

It’s really cool and inspiring to be able to play songs you know—like anime theme songs—on the piano.

In this video, you can try a piece from the hugely popular and widely known anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

The song is in a ballad style and the tempo isn’t very fast.

Plus, it’s arranged for beginners, with mostly one note in the right hand and one note in the left hand throughout, so it’s easy to tackle even if you’re not confident yet.

Once you can play one song, even slowly, you’ll start to feel more motivated.
