The piano lesson -Piano Learning Tips

By Gordain Faria


Master the piano piece by reading the printed musical piece by group not by note. Before trying to play them on the piano keyboard, you can identify this group by marking them with pen and put some notation above. However, some students use different colors of pen to identify easily which of the scales, chords or intervals.

Performing in front of the unknown audience has never been easy but manageable. Beforehand, try to relax and take several deep breaths. Try to regulate and relax your breathing. If it is not working, try to warm up before your performance somewhere. Remember, if you are nervous you will accidentally hurt your performance.

Every time you key in a key note in the piano, it is important that you hit the key note with strength to create a rich, full tone. You can clearly hear the beautiful tone of the piano. Perhaps why you have to practice every day and do your strength and flexibility exercise for your fingers, hands and wrist.

Learning how to play piano for the first time is like learning how to read when you were young. Do you still remember how fun those days were? Patients, helpful teachers and parents made your reading lessons easier. Each lesson and practice day means additional challenge and learning adventures.

Vertical or horizontal piano, what are they? These are two basic categories of piano. They differ in the string position and the height. Vertical pianos have four types - the spinet, console, studio and upright. The horizontal piano also called the grand piano because it is said to produce finer tune than the vertical. This has six types - petite, baby, medium, parlor, semi concert or ballroom and the concert grand piano.

There are many technical exercises for gaining strength and flexibility of your fingers and the famous exercises were composed of Charles Louis Hanon between the late 1800's and early 1900's. The set of exercises should be practice carefully. There are also beginner levels to intermediate levels to choose from. Do these exercises if you want to be great pianist but accordingly.

Learning musical notes is the pre requisite of learning how to read piano music. You cannot skip the basic. It is the foundation of playing the entire piece. If you cannot identify what musical notes written in the piece, you cannot key in the right piano key.
