I highly recommend Synthesia. This will teach and help you get used to playing with one and two hands at your own pace. I do one song a day, it is quite the challenge.

I am currently reading Basic Music Theory to teach me how to read music.

You can print flash cards to help you learn the bass and treble clef. (other useful tools on that site as well)

Hope this helps!

Highly recommend the book “help your kids with music”
I’m 20, played piano as a child and I’ve just recently been trying to get back into it, and I loveee this book for trying to re-learn music theory. It’s essentially a dictionary of everything I’ve ever forgotten or was never taught. It starts music theory from the very beginning, it’s super visual, and just overall the perfect beginner or re-learning tool for music theory. Help Your Kids With Music

Sounds like what you really need to do is study polyrhythms. I have this book, which comes with a CD:

http://www.amazon.com/Polyrhythms-Musicians-Guide-Peter-Magadini/dp/0634032836

I had a piece with a 3 against 2 to start. Then I progressed to a 3 against 4. Sometimes I do 5 against 4 or worse (thanks, Chopin!) but it's helped me understand how to play polyrhythms.

There are also a few good videos on various polyrhythms on youtube, e.g.

Are you taking a conducting class? When I was taking conducting classes, we had to read these transposed instruments on the piano. It was tough, but definitely worth it since you can pick up a score and start playing it on the piano.

I used this book to study: Preparatory Exercises in Score Reading (Vorbereitende Ubungen im Partiturlesen)

I'd recommend starting with this book. It'll ease you through 2, then 3, then 4 voices, and introduce new clefs one at a time.

Set up a metronome. At a very slow tempo. Play one part and read another. Do this every day, several times a day.

Oh, and ask your professor if you can sing on English letter names rather than fixed do. They're functionally and semiotically equivalent, but easier for English-speaking musicians to process.

u/spicymcwookie · 1 pointr/Guitar

I use that book, it's helpful, but this book helped me out more, since it's pattern based, helped my memory out better

u/bananainacup · 1 pointr/piano

I found it! For anyone that stumbles across it in the future...

Here's the perfect book as $6 digital PDF

https://sellfy.com/p/9eM3/

And the exact same book sells on amazon for not much more

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hastie-Studio-Piano-Finger-Charts/dp/1461136962

I've also found this sheet a good way to keep track of my progress...
Goal 1 would be 'hands separate, at 80bpm' then goal 2 might be 'hands together, at 80bpm'

I've heard the BEAD method is good. I don't know. There's a book. Has anyone here used this method?

u/ElizabethDangit · 4 pointsr/piano

If you’re new to music in general this book is awesome. even for adults.

This one is another good resource for scales and chords.
