Steps On Learning To Play Piano

By Angela Howard


The most distracting in learning to play a keyboard is the imagination of how long it will take you. Some people also imagine it is boring since you need to learn musical notes and how to interpret them. On the overall, you will realize it is all about attitude. In Learning to Play Piano, you must dedicate your time and eliminate the negative thoughts to make it an easy process.

Be well versed with the notes used in music as the beginning of this unique process. Technically, if you do not give them a try, you may have an assumption that they are difficult to learn, whereas that is not the case. If you successfully learned the English alphabet, then this will be far much easier. You only have an obligation of learning eight notes symbolized by the first eight letters of the English alphabet.

Once you have known the notes, you have the responsibility of sharpening your skills by learning the keyboard keys and what they stand for. They are of two significant types; the short black and long white keys that have been arranged in a specific sequence of alternating twos and threes. The black keys are specifically used to have fun on the flat and sharp notations.

At this point, you need to be aware how your baby grand is arranged. It is uniquely planned from the middle and extends uniformly to either left or right. The middle set of blacks has a significant importance. At the midst, the group of two blacks, the white key on your left is denoted middle C. With these unique arrangements, all white keys at such a corresponding location are all denoted C.

Once you are done with the identification, you are now headed to knowing how to play Do-Re-Mi since it will be a great way to experience music at its basic level. When you will be playing this, you will be in a better position to learn notes. Practice the sol-fa notation and identify where it starts and ends. The sound Do correspond to letter C.

Congratulations, at this time you are better versed with the basics of a baby grand. It is time you took it a step higher to test your potential. You can test whether you can be able to hit the simple songs. An example is the Jingle Bells that has been commonly adopted as a common song learners begin with. Acquire the skill of recognizing the notes and hitting them appropriately.

Knowing the skills of timing and the length a note should be played is very important. You must know that there are three main notes that are commonly used when playing music. However, they are not limited to three. Other notations exist. Learn the length to give a notation and the timing to play the next note.

You need to have the knowledge of playing the first three E notes that are commonly found at the beginning of a music piece. They comprise two a quarter notes and one single note. An orderly play is an important aspect of memorizing a sequential play. Keep playing until you gain the ability of simultaneously using two hands.
