I started my piano journey as a beginner at Presto Studios about a year ago. When I first began, I really struggled with almost everything—from my playing technique and maintaining the proper hand shape, to reading notes and counting beats. However, a major turning point came when I reached the last stage of my beginner series. I finally realized just how incredibly important it is to count rhythms out loud and to build proper sight-reading skills. Since that realization, I have gained a new perspective and have been taking my learning much more seriously!
