Getting Past Beginner Piano Level
You can learn how to play basic piano in a comparatively short time. The majority of regular piano teachers will train you how to play all of the notes on the keyboard, a few simple songs and will have you playing with both hands at the same time after about 2 or 3 lessons. I myself have made a video teaching you how to play the fundamentals of piano in under 10 minutes. Take a look at this short video here - how to play the piano for beginners.
The arduous part comes when you begin to play with both hands jointly and you want to progress further. For those who are learning to play with a classical piano teacher they will undoubtedly be given a couple of set pieces to learn. You will learn these pieces by first playing the right hand part on its own. Practicing it repeatedly until you can play it with no indecision. After this you will need to learn the left hand part. For most this is slightly more complex to attain nevertheless following a good deal of repetition it ought to get less complicated.
Then comes the tricky part... Playing both hands together. This can be compared to riding a cycle. One day it will all just come together but until then, you will find the learning process a little slow.

If you are being taught at home with a home study course or a dvd then you will more than likely be learning several musical styles or genres at the same time. The essentials however will remain the same. You will need to play a simple tune or some simple chords in the right hand and a simple bass line in the left. Getting the rhythm of the bass line and the rhythm of the chords (which will be different) to combine will not be as difficult as combining the hands whilst learning set pieces. You will be playing quite a lot quicker like this. You might also see the following site for supplementary information on learning piano at home: How to learn piano
On the subject of advancing in these styles you will need to add a tune in the right hand as you play the chords as well with the same hand which will be very difficult to start with. Or instead occasionally you will be playing just the melody in the right hand and you will be combining the bass line and the chords in the left. It is the combining of both things in one hand that you will find most difficult of all but you will find that as time goes on this method will allow you to move on a lot quicker and will offer you a solid background in piano playing.
As soon as you have become skilled then you will without doubt outgrow the study course and will then gain from attending regular one on one piano lessons with a specialized teacher.
