Some Piano Instruction For Starters

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.

It will always be a good idea to take some lessons, especially if you plan on becoming a true master. There are both private and public music schools in many areas. These schools usually require some experience and/or passing a test of some kind. It may sound terrifying to stand before a group of people doing what is most likely your first public performance, but don't freak out. Just practice and sing a song you like or a little piece with an instrument you have played before. They won't be too hard on you.

Other option is to find a private teacher somewhere. Try searching online or through local papers. As an learning option private teacher is at least as good than those in bigger schools. You are not tied to any curriculum, so if the teacher is cool, the content of the lesson is pretty much up to you. However, if you don't want a teacher at all for some reason, it is still possible to learn quite a lot via internet. There is just some basic information you ought to know.

A big surprise: there are just seven different white keys in your instrument. The others are just the same sound in various octaves. Octaves is what the whole notation system is based on. They always start and end with the same key, for example C-major: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. The different C:s etc., have all their own names, but you usually hear people just talking about 'higher' or 'lower' keys.

You will find the basic C-major quite in the middle of your instrument. Although it takes place at white keys, the easiest way to find it is to look at the black ones. You see them making groups of two and three. C is the white key right on the left side of the left-sided-key at any group of two black keys. If you play all the white keys up to the next C, you have just played the C-major.

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 everything went well, you just played 'Mary had a little lamb'. Hopefully these piano instruction made you excited to learn more and take up this wonderful hobby. Search the web for video-tutorials, how to read music sheets and more!
