Playing the piano is a great skill to have, whether you want to make a career of it or just have a bit of fun for yourself. It teaches you to think quickly and to co-ordinate the hand and eye to a high degree. It is also one of the most satisfying things in the world to be able to play a piece of music, no matter what level it is, to the best of your abilities and know that it sounds good!     So long as you are not tone-deaf and you have two hands with all relevantly attached appendages you can learn the piano. Also, as long as you're over six, it doesn't matter what age you are.     The main thing that beginners of all ages have to understand (non-beginners hopefully already know this) is that in order to get anywhere you have to put most of the work in yourself by practising at home. Therefore all prospective students need to have easy access to a piano or electric piano, otherwise lessons would be a bit of a waste of time!     The lessons themselves will obviously cater to the needs of the individual student but will generally involve tuition in practical, aural and theoretical aspects of music.
