Poll-How does having a real grand piano make a beginner learn piano faster than having an electric keyboard?

Posted by admin

I was watching videos on youtube and I heard if someone has a electric keyboard they should buy themselves the real thing a grand piano because they will learn faster & keyboards are not the real sound of pianos.

Electric keyboards have a more tinny sound. Also, you have to apply more pressure on piano keys than on a keyboard, so often if someone learns to play on a keyboard, they will mess up on the piano because they are not used to having to press harder on the keys

Beginner piano player, should I learn sheet music?

Posted by admin

I'm looking to start learning piano, but reading sheet music seems even more complicated than playing. Will it take longer to play my favorite songs without reading sheet music?

I've also heard of playing by ear; is that for more advanced pianists?

I have always dreamed of learning to play the piano and I think that what you are learning to do is wonderful. I would learn to play by sheet music, I think that you need to learn the notes, however, many people are talented and can learn to play by just listening to the notes and finding the keys.
Good luck to you……….


How do you play piano sheet music? (please help a beginner)?

Posted by admin

I really want to learn the piano, but we don’t have enough money for lessons (also why I only have a small keyboard we got for free) but that’s the best I can do. So, is there any good guide or something on how to play? I’m good at matching what I hear and can read notes, since I played violin for years, but the piano is so big and when I look at piano music I don’t understand it, and which note is where on the piano.
Thank you for the help.(:

the first thing you need to do is locate the Middle C key, which is right in the middle of the piano.
after that, you just count up and down in order,
A B C D E F G A… and so on.
so the key after Middle C is D, and the one before is B.

after that, just learn to match the notes on the pages with the keys, and you’ll do great! if you need to, put masking tape with the letters written on it on each key, to remind you.

i hope that helps! :)
