To watch the full piano tutorial go to:is the My way piano tutorial by Frank Sinatra. Putting the focus squarely on video tuition, Music2me currently offers more than 150 tutorial videos and includes more than 75 songs. Each lesson is presented with the piano keyboard at the top and the score at the bottom; these play in sync so you can make sure your fingers are playing the right notes at the right time.
Learning to play piano can seem like a pretty big challenge for a beginner. You might be staring at your keyboard right now, wondering ‘where do I even start?'
But don't let all those keys intimidate you! Making sense of the keyboard is actually quite simple, you just have to know what to look out for. Skyrim first teaser.
Identifying Octaves
The first thing we'll do is break the piano down into more manageable chunks. If you look closely at the keyboard, you'll see that there is actually a pattern to how the keys are laid out. They're laid out in such a way that after 12 keys the notes repeat themselves. We call this sequence of 12 keys an Octave. A traditional 88 key piano can be split up into just 7 octaves. Learning to identify this octave pattern is crucial for finding your way around the keyboard.
Finding Middle C
Now that you know how to split your piano up into discrete octaves, finding specific notes is easy! Let's start with the most important note on the piano, Middle C. How do we find it? Take a look at the black keys of the piano, and notice how there's a pattern of black keys across the whole keyboard, alternating between groupings of three black keys and two black keys.
The purpose of this website: helping you learn to play the piano. Building a strong foundation of piano-playing skills will lead to a lifetime of piano-playing joy.
Free Printable Beginner Piano Lessons
With these free piano lessons, you will begin learning how to play the piano by starting with the basics: piano notes & piano fingerings.
Study and practice the first three lessons ('pre-lesson' & lessons 1 & 2), and then choose at least 5 (all 17 would be better) of the tunes to learn (one at a time).
Each of these free piano lessons includes simple instructions, along with the notes and fingerings for every tune in 3 different keys (to learn about 'keys' see ' Piano Scales'). Also, a video demonstration and music notation are available for each tune.
On the 'piano tab.' pages, there are no rhythm indications, and no directions regarding whether you play up or down from note to note (though fingerings offer some clues). You must use your ear. Therefore, you must choose only songs with which you are familiar.
As you progress through these lessons, your piano keyboard will grow more and more familiar to you, and the piano finger numbers will begin to feel automatic. This provides a solid foundation upon which to begin building your piano skills.
Take your time and master each lesson, practicing slowly and methodically until each element (fingering, notes, hands-separate, hands-together, memorization) and each song flows easily.
As a supplement to working on these tunes, you should also consider getting started on some piano exercises. These will help you as you begin to build your piano technique and keyboard awareness.
Once you've learned a few tunes and worked through the beginning exercises, you are ready to take on piano scales, piano chords, reading music, and learning piano literature.
