People often drop out of piano lessons due to a lack of time for regular practice, frustration with slow progress, unrealistic expectations, or losing interest in the material. Others may struggle with the discipline required or face external pressures that take priority over learning the instrument.

The fastest way to learn piano properly is by focusing on structured lessons that combine music theory, scales, and finger exercises with learning simple songs. Using a combination of online tutorials, apps, and regular practice while gradually increasing difficulty ensures steady progress and proper technique. Consistency and guided practice are key.

Violin is often considered harder to learn than piano for beginners because it requires precise finger placement, bowing technique, and intonation, as there are no frets or keys to guide notes. In contrast, piano has a more straightforward layout, making it easier to start playing simple pieces. However, both instruments become more complex as skill levels advance.

Some of the best books for teaching yourself piano include *Alfred’s Basic Adult All-in-One Course* by Willard Palmer, *The Piano Handbook* by Carl Humphries, and *Piano for Dummies* by Blake Neely. These books provide a structured approach with lessons on music theory, techniques, and songs for practice.
