Learning to Play the Piano

keira — Mon, 14 May 2012 00:26:17 +0000

Some people believe that learning the piano must be terribly difficult. It's a beautiful sounding instrument that can either be used to play a very simple tune made up of only three notes or a complex piece of music with thousands of notes. You can peck out a tune with one finger or play intricate scores that require each finger to do something different. And you can play something that requires only about 8 keys, or one octave, or the piece can have you flying from one end of the keyboard to the other.

Given all those possibilities, it's no wonder that learning the piano looks like a complicated and difficult endeavor! Just looking at the number of keys can be intimidating—88 in total. How are you supposed to learn 88 keys and then try to figure out which combination and order to play them in?

The truth is that learning the piano is simple, as long as you can learn 7 keys—once you learn those 7, you automatically know the other 81! And whether or not you can read music, you can learn those 7 keys. In fact, you might not realize it, but you already know them, so you've already got a head start. It sounds unbelievable that it could be that simple, but it is.

You know the alphabet already. Say the first 7 letters out loud—A, B, C, D, E, F, G. You don't have to learn that, you already know it. Those are the 7 keys you need to know—and they're in that order on the keyboard. Once you hit a key and figure out which note it is (which letter it is) then the next is simply the next letter in the alphabet. And when you hit G it starts over against with A. It doesn't sound so complicated now, does it?

While this might seem like very simplified instructions, this is where everyone learning the piano starts, with the most basic information, the names of the notes. See the black keys on the keyboard? Notice that they're grouped in twos and threes. Every group of two black keys comes directly after a C, so the white key to the left of the first black key in every group of two—the white key actually to the left and touching that key—is a C, without exception. Now that you know this, you can find every C on the keyboard. And by going backwards or forward in the alphabet you can name every white key.

Now that learning to play piano no longer sounds so intimidating, get a basic piano instruction book for beginners so that you can learn to associate each key with its written note. You can find courses online to help you learn, or you can take private lessons. And if you'll think of learning in step by step terms and see how simple each step is, you'll be learning the piano and tickling the ivories in no time.

Scales 101

keira — Sun, 13 May 2012 00:12:20 +0000

When it comes to the world of music, scales are a group of musical notes that are collected in both ascending and descending order, and they are responsible for providing material for musical work, including a combination of both harmony and melody that can be converted into instrumental play. Scales are ordered based on either pitch or pitch class, and their ordering is designed to provide a measure specifically of musical distance. When you have a distance that is between two different successive notes in a single scale, what you have is known as a scale step.

Typically, scales are listed from the lowest to the highest. Scales are octave-repeating when their patterns of notes are the same from one octave to the next. Octave repeating scales are capable of being represented as circular arrangements of pitch classes that are ordered by either increasing or by decreasing pitch class. For example, the increasing scale in C major is C D E F G A B C, but the last C is a full octave higher than the original note. A decreasing scale in C major would appear as C B A G F E D C, but the second C, again, would be an entire octave lower than the original note in the scale.

A single scale is capable of being manifested in a wide variety of different pitch levels. As an example, a scale in C major is capable of being started at middle C or C4, an ascending up an octave to C5, or it can begin at C6 and then ascend an entire octave up to C7.

Scales are capable of being described according to whatever intervals are contained within them, such as with diatonic scales, chromatic scales and whole tone scales. They are based on the number of different pitch classes that are contained within them, in the case of pentatonic scales, hexatonic scales or heptatonic scales, which are five pitch class, six pitch class and seven pitch class containing scales respectively. In prehistoric forms of music you will find ditonic, tritonic and tetratonic scales, which are two pitch class, three pitch class and four pitch class containing scales respectively. In jazz music and modern classical music you will find octatonic scales, which contain eight pitch classes.

Scales are capable of being abstracted from composition or from performance. They are also commonly used in a precompositional manner in order to guide or to limit a particular composition. The explicit instruction in these scales has long been a part of compositional training for several centuries now. One or more scales is capable of being used in a single composition.

Metal Instruments 101

keira — Sat, 12 May 2012 11:56:19 +0000

There are a range of different metal percussion instruments that can be found in the modern western orchestra, even though many of them have origins that are not only ancient in nature, but also global as well.

The Anvil - The Anvil is a specific type of sound effect that is used when playing orchestral music, specifically attempting to imitate the sound of a blacksmith's anvil. This sound is perhaps heard most famously in the Anvil Chorus from Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi from 1853 and Wagner's Rheingold from 1876. The anvil is also capable of being used to create dramatic musical effects as well, which is where it has gained much of its popularity throughout history.

Real anvils are a little bit impractical when it comes to play in an orchestra simply because they are so heavy. There are a number of unique substitutes that are effective for creating a similar sound without the size and weight however, including sections of scaffolding poles or pieces of railway track, which are capable of providing a similar clanging sound. When the anvil is used in an orchestra, it is typically played using a heavy metal hammer or mallet in order to produce the unique sound that it is known for.

The Musical Saw - The musical saw is actually a fine bladed saw lacking in teeth that is played using a bow from a double bass or a cello. The saw handle is held between the knees of the player and then the tip of the saw is held in the non bowing hand which is typically the left hand. As the right hand bows the saw, the let hand will bend it in order to create a wide variety of different pitches.

Both the pressure of the bowing and the amount of bending need to be controlled carefully in order to create a true pitch on the behalf of the saw as well as a musical line that is sustained. There is a high singing tone that is created by this instrument and it is capable of playing both vibrato and also glissandi. The origins of the musical saw as an instrument are relatively obscure, but this instrument may have originated from the rural parts of North America in and around the latter half of the 19th century.

This has been a popular instrument in musical hall music as well as vaudeville, especially right around the turn of the 20th century, and this instrument was even included in an opera known as the Nose between 1927 and 1928 by Shostakovitch.

The Flexatone - This instrument is not unlike the musical saw. The flexatone was invented to serve as a jazz instrument in and around the 1920s. The flexatone is a triangular steel plate that is thin and flexible. It is fixed at the wide end to a metal frame that is approximately 30 cm or 12 in in length that possesses rubber beater or wooden beaters at the lower end, attached to rods. The player will wave the flexatone instrument around so that the beaters are made to hit the plate, and the player is also responsible for changing his thumb pressure on the plate so that the pitch is changed when the sounds are made by the beaters. There is a limited pitch range offered by this instrument, but it has been known to play some truly melodic parts such as in the Piano Concerto of 1936 by Aram Khatchaturian.
