Stages Of 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.

The first step is to be proverbial with music notes. When you look at them, they may give you an impression of being hard to understand but that is not the case. With invariable practice, you will learn them just as you learn the alphabet. Music is marked with the first alphabetical letters which describe the different tones and pitches of keys in music. These letters are A B C D E F G.

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.

You need to identify the middle keys in your piano. Go through the entire length of your keyboard and get the set of five black keys in a group of three and two. Where you get the two black keys, the white key on your left is the middle C. If you go along either side you will realize all white keys to the left of two white keys will be a C.

Consequently, you need to learn how to hit the sol-fa ladder. The sol-fa ladder has eight tones as well and it will be a basis for understanding how to hit different tunes on a keyboard. It is the basis for different tones in a music and enjoying the process of learning the tone will help you have the familiarity of hitting a keyboard.

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.

The initial measures of music normally have three E notes. It is essential you learn to hit them. They are usually quarter notes that are two and one-half note. You need to practice hitting them to the point that you can play them in sequence. Keep repeating the above steps and master how each step goes. Keep practicing and involve both your hands until you can comfortably hit any song.
