Piano Lessons – 2 Tips on Scales

nirab — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 07:06:52 +0000

Piano Lessons: A good adventure is to find the major scale starting on F sharp. Use your ears and you should find it. Right hand fingering is 2 3 4 1 2 3 1 2. Left hand is 4 3 2 1 3 2 1 2. You should have found six black keys and two white keys. Now see if you can find the major scale starting on B. The right hand fingering is 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5. Left hand fingering is 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1.

Piano Lessons: Once you have found the scale of F sharp major, see if you can find the scale of B major. You should have found five black keys and three white keys. Right hand fingering is 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5. Left hand fingering is 4 3 2 1 4 3 2 1.

For online piano lessons or keyboard lessons (six week courses) go to Piano-Keyboard Intro online class, or Piano-Keyboard Advanced online class.

Piano Lessons – 2 Tips

nirab — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:48:35 +0000

Piano Lessons: There are two types of touch in music; staccato and legato. There are many varieties of each. To play staccato it is the same as playing legato, but you let the notes come up. To play legato using two single notes i.e. middle C then middle D, there are two notes down on the key-bed for a moment before releasing the first note C.

Piano Lessons: To play notes at different volumes of sound on the piano, there are two points to remember. One is the speed of depression of the note, and the other is weight. For instance you could play a fast scale softly by just using finger weight. Where you are playing sustained chords, use a slow speed of depression of the notes, with little arm weight.

For online piano lessons or keyboard lessons (six week courses) go to Piano-Keyboard Intro online class or Piano-Keyboard Advanced online class.
