Do you want to be a serious classical Pianist? Do you want to play solos or as an accompanist, or not in front of anybody? Do you want to play by ear? Is your goal to read printed Music well? Do you have a preferred style you want to learn, like Gospel, or Jazz? Do you just want to play for the fun of it & not worry about sounding like a pro or a kid messing around at the piano? After you decide what you want to do with Piano, they you can decide whether to seek out a teacher--& what to look for in a teacher, or just get one of those really fun keyboards with lighted keys that plays the rhythm & accompaniment & you just play the melody with one finger.
