Method for piano study

\

Learning to Play the piano or keyboard is fun. At each lesson, your

teacher will give you some songs for you to learn at home. If you want to get

really good, you need to play these songs every day.

At first, you might not play the pieces well. But as you play the songs

some more, you’ll find that you get better and better as you play them. After a

while you will play your pieces very well. Soon, you may play these songs not

only for your teacher, but also for your parents and for your friends and relatives.

In the future, you may play in a band. People may hear your music on

the radio, or see your video on televison! You might become a concert pianist

who plays very hard music in front of many people. Think about how excited

you’ll be when everyone stands up and cheers for you when you finish playing!

You could play the organ or piano at a church or temple. Perhaps you will

become a teacher!

Even if you never do any of those things, you can still have fun playing

your favorite songs anytime you want. You can play for yourself or maybe for

a few friends, too.

Many musicians know how to read a secret code. This code tells them

all about the musical sounds they should play. This code is really easy and

fun to learn, but only if you take some time every day to practice using it, so

let’s get started!\

\There are many types of keyboards. There are pianos,rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

synthesizers, organs, and portable keyboards, not to mention

harpsichords, clavinets, celestas, and clavichords.

Regardless of the keyboard you use, you must sit properly if

you want to play it well.

Sit up straight, with your feet flat on the ground. If your feet

do not touch the ground, then put a small stool on the floor

(or even some books) and place your feet there.w

Your elbows should be just a little higher than the keyboard.

Adjust the piano bench or the keyboard stand until you are

sitting at trhe correct height, or place books on your bench

and sit on them.

When you play arny type of keyboard, you should keep your hand relaxed a yend your

fingers curved.Wrap your fingers around a tennis ball to see how ca xxz your fingers

shoulWAd be, Play with your fingertips. Don’t let your wrists fall down on the front of the

keyboard.

Magny people sit too close to the piano. Be sure that your knees are just underneath

the keyboard. If you have to twist your wrists to play, you’re sitting too close.

Some people play keyboards while standing up. If youv do this, be sure that you

adjust the height of your keyboard stand so that your forearms are level with the

keyboard. Don’t stand too close to the keyboard when you play.

Some keyboard instruments, like some synthesizers with guitar straps, and accordians,

are meant to be played standing up. Even with these keyboards, curved, relaxed

fingers are important.
