how long does it take to get "good" at piano??

Depends on how much talent you've got.  You're already familiar with music, so you've got a head start there, but the coordination for piano is very different from guitar.  Another thing is how "good" do you want to be?  Good enough for just family and friends?  Or Good enough to audition for paying positions??

Here you go (a real one)\nYou have a staff (a partiture) written for orchestra.\nYou have to make a piano arrangement.\nEach note can be played by left hand, right hand or discarded.\nYou rely on a musician to train the system. Afterwards, it's supposed to work on its own.\n\nPlease write if you tackle it.

I had this question just a few months ago.  I contacted a well known Piano tuner in my area and asked for guidance.  He invited me to a Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) meeting where I met many of the best tuners and technicians in my area.  This is NOT an advertisement for them but a ringing endorsement of the excellent help you can get through this organization.  You can request information by emailing ptg@ptg.org.  When you join this group, you are gaining allies, not competition.  There is a membership category for learners, which is where I am now.  I Hope this helps

If you are educated in music, such as knowing the names of the notes, rhythms, etc...  you can definately learn a new instrument quickly, especially the piccolo.  I went to college for music education and I had a two weeks to learn each instrument in order to teach it to students.  The flute and piccolo are in my opinion, the easiest to learn.  Just stay focused and practice, practice, practice!!! Good luck.

If you want to be a great pianist you need to start with the very basics, technique is really important. A Piano is not an easy instrument at all, it has lots of depth and tone and needs to be handled the right way.\n\nOr, get a fake book and learn the chords and notes and you could probably bang out a song in a few days.  \n\nEither way is just fine, it's up to you and how far you want to go with it.

First of all you need to get your name out there. Design your own website. Great free sites include freewebs.com and geocities. Don't forget to call local music stores who sell instruments to let them know you are accepting students. \nJoin professional teacher groups in your area.....Music Teachers National Assoc: www.mtna.org , National Guild of Piano Teachers: www.pianoguild.com , and espcially any organizations in your city. Some of these professional organizations offer student referrals. This is a great way to acquire students.\nAdvertising in a local paper may be another idea. The smaller the newspaper the better. (Here we have a paper that's just for our town, not the entire city.)\nIf there aer kids in your neighborhood, stuff newspaper boxes with flyers. \nJoin Yahoo! piano teachers group!\n\nGood luck to you! I am a piano teacher of 19 years. Currently with 52 students. 40 of my own and 12 with an apprentice teacher.

drummer is always the hard part. It takes a few months to get decent at guitar and like 5 years to get decent at drums.  Most slackers don't stick with it. when you find a drummer thats at all good, treat them like gold.

It takes time.  First you have to get yourself busy.  If you don't have a full time job, get one now. \nJoin a church or community group and become active there too. Make some new friends along the way. Take some classes at community college. Volunteer at a hospital, home for neglected and abused children, humane society...there are many places needing volunteer help.\n\nIn other words, make yourself a new life.  Become a different person........and in no time at all, you'll find you're happy just being with the person you have become.  Other people are drawn to that and you'll have more friends than you ever dreamed.  \n\nSince you have an ex, I assume you want to have a happier, more secure relationship. It begins with yourself and your way of viewing the world.  Become positive and be willing to try some new things.  \n\nDancing or piano lessons? Do something for yourself that you always kind of wanted to do.\n\nTime and distance help too - but living a full life is really the best answer.\n\nGood luck.  It will happen.

go over it step by step, just practice little sections if you're having trouble. just go section by section and get each individual section perfected, then work on putting it all together. also, if it's a routine to music (which i'm assuming it is) really use the music and the counts to help you. listen for unique sounds/words in the music that you can associate with your moves and never lose count!

Attempt to not overblow and don't change your amboture (sp?) when it comes to not losing your intonation. Lip up if you are flat, and relax your jaw and lip down if you are sharp.  Grab a tuner and set it to 440hz and do "longtones."  Go from your low D (F Concert) to your middle D, 12 counts each note and start Piano (soft) as you can and cressiendo 6 counts go to Forte and the next 6 counts decressiendo  back to Piano-do this with a tuner.  For breathing techniques, without your horn, tsss sound in the longtones pattern  (6 counts cressiendo/6 counts decressiend).  Do this blowing in the palm of your hands and make sure you are blowing warm air.  As you get better at it, increase the number of counts.  Good Luck.

Do you want to be really really good at piano?\nThen YES!!! \nIF you have a great teacher.\n\nAll the greatest pianists had great teachers.\nNo one became great by learning by themselves.

I had huge success when I was teaching lessons by contacting the Daycares/preschools.  I took 6 keyboards to the daycare put a out a flyer to the parents and in 2 mo. with 3 daycares had over 30 students from the daycares alone this in conjunction with the piano store I was teaching at put me close to 60 students.  I will warn you that setting up your own group studios is A LOT of work though.  Be careful not to grow the studio too fast though i was quickly burned out and cancled many of the classes.
