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.

You also need to be comfortable with the baby grand keys. You need to learn their uses since they are not all the same. They are differentiated by color, and you will realize there are white and black keys on your musical instrument. The use of black keys is primarily to play the flat and sharp notes. They have been arranged in groups of threes and twos on your keyboard.

The baby grand is manufactured and arranged in a specific way. It all begins in the middle. The central five black keys have a significant importance to the way the keyboard is arranged. On the duo group, the left white input represents C which is the sound Do in the sol-fa notation. All other keys with a similar location are denoted the same and between two subsequent similar letters are eight keys.

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.

Once you are done learning the sol-fa ladder, you need to go a notch higher. It is time to learn the simple songs that are easy to memorize. Such songs as Jingle Bells are easier to hit and can make the learning process more interesting. At this point, you need to learn the musical notes and their timing. You need to count each note on the music sheet.

Each note will show how long you will give it counts i. E. Press down the key while hitting the note. There are three basic notes that are used in music but there are more that are applicable to the study of music. You must learn how to identify the notes and the length that you can press them to give the desired 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.
