Any Pianists? Need advice & help

[lawrence281]

As a kid, I played the piano, lessons/taught. Was rather good, was for about 7-8 years, I stopped when I was about 13/14. And past few months I've been eager to get back into it weirdly like I miss it.

^Such a bargain.

Just..need advice to where to begin..to hopefully help me remember my roots of playing. Sites, note sheets easy to understand to begin from the start etc or methods to go about it.
Thanks in advance

Depends on what standard you got to when you stopped - did you do any grades?

For reference, I got up to grade 7 when I was about 15 but stopped (wow I haven't played for 12 years!) but I do want to go back to it and I'd probably look at starting at grade 3/4 standard and go from there.

Get yourself some books, go second hand to get some bargains, and go from there

Pretty sure it was about grade 6-7 or so. Know the best place to look for books? amazon? or ebay

I only seem to find exam books,pieces etc

I'm using the Alfred All In One Adult series, though that starts right at the beginning so may be too easy for you.

Alfred's are really good.

Tbh just find pieces you want to learn and get the sheet music.

Consider getting a teacher too as they are invaluable whatever grade you are.
