Things I Enjoy About Piano

It all starts with Beginning Piano Lessons. As for everything,  one must learn beginning piano to fully apprehend and appreciate what goes into music and the ability to play music. You have to start somewhere. Piano lessons teach you important fundamentals about theory and hand exercises, when done properly these allow you to become a better pianist. Why I enjoy piano is the ability to see every single note on the keyboard. Everything you need is right in front of you. Your low notes are on the left side, and your higher notes are on the right side. That simple. Having taking private lessons, it wasn’t an option for me to focus on one style of music, or just play the music I liked. Instead I learned piano through my instructor and touched base with different styles of music, along with exercises including theory and scales. Theory may seem so boring at first, but when you learn to apply it in ways such as writing songs, its the key ingredient. I’ve mastered pieces from classical, modern, ragtime, and boogie-woogie. The “Boogie-Woogie Stomp” is my favorite song, for many reasons. This song is fast, up beat, and in the key of “C”, so making things up is more simple if you follow the rules of a blues scale. Hand slides occur in this song, which are something that I have only dreamed of doing when i first started playing piano. Now get out there and start to play the piano!
