Chapter 1

Please be seated!@!@!@!@!@


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


Your elbows should be just a little higher than the keyboard. Adjust the piano bench or the keyboard stand until you are sitting at the correct height, or place books on your bench and sit on them. When you play any type of keyboard, you should keep your hand relaxed and your fingers curved.Wrap your fingers around a tennis ball to see how curved your fingers should be, Play with your fingertips. Don’t let your wrists fall down on the front of the keyboard. Many people sit too close to the piano. Be sure that your knees are just derneath the keyboard. If you have to twist your wrists to play, you’re sitting too close. Some people play keyboards while standing up. If you 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.
Code Your Fingers:

 

No matter what, your thumb is finger 1. Always. Practice saying the number on the fingers by taping the particular finger on a table.

All keyboards have white and black keys. The black keys are found in groups of two and three. Sometimes there is an “orphan” black key on one side of the keyboard.

A Small Introduction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning to play the piano or keyboard is fun. At each lesson, we will have 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 before some public gatherings. 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. 'Cause piano playing is one of the soothing process both for your body and soul.

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 set gooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!

Get set go ............ piano

Well done ! ! ! You have done a great job in choosing to learn piano. Come On !!! Jump in. 

We will make our move. Lets get set and go!!!

Getsetgopiano is a new approach for the buddies who have no knowledge of what music is. This website's main aim is to go for the basics of piano music to knock the peak.

First of all, we simply learn our ABC's in order to communicate. But in case of music its optional. A four year old child can begin play the pieces by Mozart and Beethoven almost immediately by staying at the piano if the note is learnt.

Secondly, its just to play a piece of the composed material or in other words, its a copy. So we need to learn how to merge with essence of the music without just copying the same.At first the note method seems to work well but it requires a lot of patience to play when it comes to a difficult pieces. Hours and hours are needed for those who wanna become concert painist. So lets get to go to the start.
