Learning all 12 keys on Piano is not as hard as musicians make it seem. Many musicians refuse to learn all 12 keys because they probably think it is a waste of practice time or it is such a difficult task.
What Learning All 12 Keys on Piano Is Not
- It is not about learning all chords on all 12 keys all over again
- It is not as difficult as you might think
Learning all 12 keys on the Piano will actually make your playing skills improve because you will no longer be limited by being able to think in only one key.
You will be able to get creative because you understand how every key relates to one another
The Formula to Start Learning How to Play All 12 Keys

How Long Does It Take to Learn All 12 Keys?
