There is a TRICK to playing the piano easily if you have never played before or are struggling with it.
HERE IS THE TRICK - Forgetting about the black keys for now, there are only 7 NOTES on the piano you need to learn, and even then, you don't really need to know what notes they are. It's SIMPLE, piano notes "or keys" go from a lower tone to a higher tone as you progress up the keyboard, but you know that already, don't you.
In the image above you can see that I put a red box around this middle section of white keys, the first note in the box is called "Middle C" and the white keys after that are "D,E,F,G,A,B and back to C again and the pattern starts over again. Forget about the black keys for now, they are for more advanced music.
This pattern is repeated all the way up the keyboard and all the way back down the keyboard.
Now just hit any 3 notes leaving a blank white note between the three as shown in the picture. YOU JUST PLAYED THE C Chord!, now move up one note with your thumb, index finger and pinky and play the next 3 notes leaving a blank white key between each one. That is the D minor Chord, up again and the next is the E minor chord and the next is the F major chord and next is the G major chord, the next is the A minor chord, SKIP the next note and go to the next white "C" key sitting next to the pair of black notes and start the process again. YOU JUST LEARNED 6 CHORDS.
Do this with your right hand and at the same time try it one section down "remember" the pattern of notes is repeated across the whole piano keyboard" with the left hand at the same time.
HAVE FUN - you can now play very simple melodies and make up your own songs. You can play these chords in any order, some will sound better than others, but for now that's enough to start very basic playing.
One final tip. Whatever chord you start playing on, go back to that chord at the end of your playing, use the starting chord as your ending chord also, but do anything you want between them. It's called "resolving" back to the root chord.
Good Luck, leave comments if you have any question and I will try to answer them as quickly as I can.
Thanks
