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.
How To Play The Piano
You can learn how to play the piano.  Whether you are extremely gifted or just an average person with the desire to be a musician, the world of piano and piano music is absolutely accessible to you if you are willing to put in time and effort.  At the start, though, you would benefit the most from the type of overall concept offered in the new ebook, Piano Player... You.  With the whole piano journey laid out for you, you will be able to organize and practice effectively and make steady progress.  The elements of your piano-playing foundation and areas of piano study are all described in detail in the book, but here are a few of the basic ideas:
Learn Your Keyboard And Your Piano Finger Numbers
To build piano skills, you must first develop a familiarity
with the piano keyboard and with your own fingers and how they fit and
move on the keys.
The piano key layout, note names, and piano finger
numbers must become as familiar to the pianist as the controls of a car
are to a driver.
A proper (comfortable and effective) sitting position, hand position, and basic piano technique help tremendously.To learn basic piano technique, the piano keys layout and note names, and piano fingerings, go to
Practice (instructions for practicing are included) and master as many of the melodies as you would like. You will also be learning some basic practicing techniques for learning and memorizing music on the piano.Next (in no particular order, but it’s best if you work a bit in each category simultaneously):

series of piano lessons.
Learn Piano Scales
Learning and mastering the scales on the piano is foundational to your
understanding of music, to your technique, and to your confidence and
comfort level at the keyboard.
To learn about scales, scale fingerings, key signatures, and how to practice and play scales, go to
Learn Piano Chords
Piano chords are just as foundational for learning how to play the piano
as scales.
From the most basic three-note chords (called “triads”), to
the most complex jazz and blues chords, a piano player cannot go wrong
by developing an extensive chord knowledge and vocabulary.
Learn and play chords to boost your music reading, music memorizing,
music composition, improvisation, song leading, accompanying, and
overall confidence at the keyboard.To begin building your repertoire of chords, go to

"The Piano" is as peculiar and haunting as any film I've seen.
Advertisement
It tells a story of love and fierce pride, and places it on a bleak New Zealand coast where people live rudely in the rain and mud, struggling to maintain the appearance of the European society they've left behind. It is a story of shyness, repre of a woman who will not speak and a man who cannot listen, and of a willful little girl who causes mischief and pretends she didn't mean to.The film opens with the arrival of a 30ish woman named Ada () and her young daughter, Flora (), on a stormy gray beach. They have been rowed ashore, along with Ada's piano, to meet a local bachelor named Stewart (), who has arranged to marry her. "I have not spoken since I was 6 years old," Ada's voice tells us on the soundtrack. "Nobody knows why, least of all myself. This is not t it is the sound of my mind." Ada communicates with the world through her piano, and through sign language, which is interpreted by her daughter. Stewart and his laborers, local Maori tribesmen, take one look at the piano crate and decide it is too much trouble to carry inland to the house, and so it stays there, on the beach, in the wind and rain. It says something that Stewart cares so little for his new bride that he does not want her to have the piano she has brought all the way from Scotland - even though it is her means of communication. He does not mind quiet women, is one way he puts it.Ada and Flora settle in. No intimacy grows between Ada and her new husband. One day she goes down to the beach to play the piano, and the music is heard by Baines (), a roughhewn neighbor who has affected Maori tattoos on his face. He is a former whaler who lives alone, and he likes the music of the piano - so much that he trades Stewart land for the piano.

"That is MY piano - MINE!!" Ada scribbles on a note she hands to Stewart. He explains that they all make sacrifices and she must learn to, as well. Baines invites her over to play, and thus begins his singleminded seduction, as he offers to trade her the piano for intimacy. There are 88 keys. He'll give her one for taking off her jacket. Five for raising her skirt., who wrote and directed "The Piano," does not handle this situation as a man might. She understands better the eroticism of slowness and restraint, and the power that Ada gains by pretending to care nothing for Baines. The outcome of her story is much more subtle and surprising than Baines' crude original offer might predict.Campion has never made an uninteresting or unchallenging film (her credits include "," about a family ruled by a self-destructive sister, and "" (the autobiography of writer Janet Frame, wrongly confined for schizophrenia). Her original screenplay for "The Piano" has elements of the Gothic in it, of that Victorian sensibility that masks eroticism with fear, mystery and exotic places. It also gives us a heroine who is a g Ada is not a victim here, but a woman who reads a situation and responds to it.

The performances are as original as the characters. Hunter's Ada is pale, grim and hatchetfaced at first, although she is capable of warming.Keitel's Baines is not what he first seems, but has unexpected reserves of tenderness and imagination. Neill's taciturn husband conceals a universe of fear and sadness behind his clouded eyes. And the performance by Paquin, as the daughter, is one of the most extraordinary examples of a child's acting in movie history. She probably has more lines than anyone else in the film, and is as complex, too - able to invent lies without stopping for a breath, and filled with enough anger of her own that she tattles just to see what will happen.Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography is not simply suited to the story, but enhances it. Look at his cold grays and browns as he paints the desolate coast, and then the warm interiors that glow when they are finally needed. And if you are oddly affected by a key shot just before the end (I will not reveal it), reflect on his strategy of shooting and printing it, not in real time, but by filming at quarter-time and then printing each frame four times, so that the movement takes on a fated, dreamlike quality.

"The Piano" is a movie people have been talking about ever since it first played at Cannes, last May, and shared the grand prix.It is one of those rare movies that is not just about a story, or some characters, but about a whole universe of feeling - of how people can be shut off from each other, lonely and afraid, about how help can come from unexpected sources, and about how you'll never know if you never ask.The new 1994 edition of Roger Ebert's Video Companion is now in bookstores.

Many people who want to learn to play the piano are put off by the idea of spending long, boring hours learning music notes. If you are serious about learning to play the piano, the first thing you will need to do is put those negative thoughts behind and start with an open mind. It does take time and yes, you have to learn the music notes, but it does not have to be boring, and it certainly does not have to take forever before you learn to play on your own. Follow these seven steps carefully, and you&ll be playing your first songs independently in a very short time.Step 1: Getting Familiar with Your Notes
Music notes may seem strange now, but so did the letters of the alphabet when you first encountered them as a child. Your curiosity and the constant use of the written and spoken language around you have furnished your ability to read and not be scared of written words when you see them. The same will happen for music notes. They are the ABC of music, and with constant practice you will learn to sight read them just like you are sight reading this information now. Here goes:
Let&s start you off with the popular show tune from &The Sound of Music& - Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do. You know it &right? Sing it out loud. Music notes are marked by the letters A B C D E F G. The show tune will be used to help you get the pitch of the notes as well as to learn the keys.
Look at music notes on the grand staff below. That note in the center of the staff is Middle C. Position yourself in the middle of your piano, and let&s find Middle C and learn the piano keys.
Tip: The notes on the Treble Clef (top) are the higher pitch notes and those on the Bass Clef (bottom) are the lower pitch. The treble clef notes (higher notes) match up with the keys going to the right of Middle C and are often played with the right hand unless the music piece requires otherwise.If you need more help learning how to play the piano check out: About This Instructable 45Bio:
