Playing Piano The Right Way

Ever heard a Beethoven or a Mozart tune on a record or on radio and felt you want to play that tune yourself? Do you love a song so much that you want to play the classical version of it on the piano? It is not beyond you. Playing piano is more a matter of practice than anything else. A good piano instructor can help to put a student up to speed in learning and playing piano.

Although some students like learning from an individual tutor for personal attention, it is better to join a music school for better planning of classes and the instructors are tried and tested before being employed. The first area is the speed and grace of the fingers. Piano players should be able to hold the keys with any finger of any hand to be able to smoothly play the compositions and tunes on the piano. While the right hand is usually employed for higher notes, the left hand fingers are used to play the bass notes or hold the chords.

Piano lessons help a student cross two major barriers. The first is the ability to look at piano sheets and understand the notations. After this they should be able to form a mental map of the notes and keys. Notations also have the time duration for every note, so a student should be able to directly translate all the information mentally almost instantaneously. The next thing is to play chords on the piano and be able to switch chords comfortably meaning holding multiple keys with different fingers simultaneously and then shifting to other positions.
