So , Dont Give Up

With the piano it seems that you have to be very patient and understand that things come together after a lot of practice, realxation, then starting again. Its not like you can force it. You have to learn the song , the notes, and the feeling and then you an play the music. Music seems preety amazing. Its another type of language you have to learn and let the boundries down until you can really feel at home.

Ok, So the Entertainer is Tough

It took me about 2 weeks playing two hours each day to get down the right handed part for the quick small song, the Entertainer. I know the C; the G; and the other keys well. Like I can see them without looking at the keyboard. I like to listen to other songs and get a feel for how it should come across on the keyboard.

Little technique:

''I was telling J that his method was similar to what I had seen of the early Elton John, full of energy that he couldn't stay on the piano stool but spent most of the night in this kind of position. Also note that he's slamming the keys down with the palm of his left hand--he often would use his fists, forearm, and sometimes feet to play the piano. At Washington College, Chestertown, MD.''

So Far...

Amazing Grace, Ode to Joy, the Entertainer, Happy Birthday, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

Its tough to play the piano, but so is everything the first time you try. The keyboard is really cool. I can learn the tune, play the tune, and follow the keys to figure out the actual notes for bothe hands.

How Long Does It Take To Master Piano?

It all depends on Me, I like that.

Progress will be slow initially, but regular practise sessions will keep you focused, even if it's only for 30 minutes a day. Piano playing is a repetitive exercise and by missing practise sessions that repetitiveness is lost. Development will be slow and will lead to a lack of interest and ultimately regret for not fulfilling your ambitions. A lack of commitment will always lead to failure.

Notes

Notes are named after letters.
There’s a “musical alphabet” that’s quite a bit shorter than the English one.
It starts at A and ends at G.
Then it repeats.
For example:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, etc.

Short History Of Piano

The piano was originally founded on earlier technological innovations. The first string instruments with struck strings were the hammered dulcimers originating from the Persian traditional musical instrument santur. During the Middle Ages, there were several attempts at creating stringed keyboard instruments with struck strings,the earliest being the hurdy gurdy which has uncertain origins. By the 17th century, the mechanisms of keyboard instruments such as the clavichord and the harpsichord were well known. In a clavichord the strings are struck by tangents, while in a harpsichord they are plucked by quills. Centuries of work on the mechanism of the harpsichord in particular had shown the most effective ways to construct the case, soundboard, bridge, and keyboard.
