Just bought myself a piano, so I want to learn to play - to a beginner level - I'm aware that probably even after 5 years one is still essentially a "beginner", so it's a long road.
Great idea. It took me some 2 years to realize that piano wasn't my favourite way of making noise; on the other hand though it gave me a solid base on the theory of music (intervals, notation, cleffs etc) so that picking another instrument became much, much easier.
