The piano is an incredible instrument, and once you have mastered some of the basics you can play a huge range of beautiful songs, no wonder more and more people are now trying to learn to play. If you wanted to learn the piano in the past then you needed to spend thousands on a real piano (and try to fit it somewhere) which I am sure put a lot of people off learning, but now you can get cheap keyboards that have the right amount of keys and even imitate the sound of a real piano.
You can also buy inexpensive courses or piano instruction books now that save you needing to go to lots of expensive lessons. These courses can only give you so much tuition though, you need hundreds of hours of learning to get really good on the piano, and you won’t get that from those courses and books, but they will teach you all the basics. They can get you playing popular songs and give you an understanding of the structure of music and all but the most advanced techniques.
If you do complete the course you bought, then you are in a great position to seek out lessons, and you will have saved yourself a lot of money as you don’t need all those awkward first lessons where you know nothing about the piano. Now you can already play so you walk in as an experienced student rather than a bumbling beginner, that means your tutor can work on honing your skills and ironing out any bad habits that you might have picked up when practicing by yourself, like having a bad posture as you play.
