Here Are Some Beginners Piano Instruction

By Sonya Riley


Everyone loves music. It can be relaxing, encouraging or comforting and anything between sophisticated and revolutionary. Music brings the world together: there is no culture without some kind of playing and singing. With music being such an amazing phenomenon, it may have crossed one's mind, how great it would be to be able to create it. With these easy piano instruction you can learn to play your favorite songs.

Taking lessons is not a bad idea. In fact they are quite necessary if you dream about becoming a true master. In many areas there are special music schools that provides lessons. There are both public and private of them, but you might need to pass a test to get in. It sounds scary, but the judges are usually really encouraging and friendly. And to make that clear: you don't need to be an experienced musician. Just a little singing or a simple piece with some instrument will do the trick.

Other, maybe even better option is to look for a teacher online or through a local newspaper. These private teachers will usually charge you for an hour instead of year, so it's possible to take just a few lessons. However, it is also other ways to learn besides the traditional lessons. Internet has brought countless learning opportunities with it; you just have to know a little something about music and your instrument first.

The whole western notation system is based on octaves that go on and on. The same note appears at the beginning and the end of each octave, for example C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, also known as C-major. In everyday talking you hear terms like 'higher C' and 'lower C', but when you get far enough, you will learn that every note has it's own name. C4 is a lot easier to find than just a 'very high C'.

In the middle-section of your instrument is the C-major you'll be using the most in the beginning. C, which is a white key can be easily found by focusing on the black keys. There are two black keys together, then a gap, then three together and a gap again. Then the system goes all over again. C is always the white key, that touches the 'group of two' on the left side. It's followed by D, E, F, G, A, B and C again, all on the white keys.

Now it's the time to play your first song. It may be a good idea to write letters C, D, E, F and G on little pieces of paper and carefully tape them on the correct keys of your instrument. Then set your right hand on those keys and play: E D C D E E E D D D E G G (a little break) E D C D E E E D D E D C.

In case that seems too hard, here is an other option for playing the same thing: middle finger, fore finger, thumb, fore finger, middle finger x3, fore finger x3, middle finger, little finger x2 REST middle finger, fore finger, thumb, fore finger, middle finger x3, fore finger x2, middle finger, fore finger, thumb.

If you managed to play the song, you noticed that it was 'Mary had a little lamb'. These piano instruction helped you to get started, now keep up practicing and some day you will be a true artist. Video-tutorials and other useful material can be easily found on the net.
