What Our Customers Are Saying

I am a Steinway and Sons artist, have sold millions of recordings and had over 30 White House performances. Requests were made at a White House party for some Stevie Wonder tunes so I immediately pulled out my iPad, summoned Musicnotes and bought sheet music for "Overjoyed" and "Ribbon in the Sky". Your company has made me look great in so many performances. Thank you for this fabulous gift musicnotes is to performers.

- David Osborne, Steinway Artist and "Pianist to the Presidents"

I sing some of the most current songs thanks to Musicnotes. I do not know how I would be able to find such great quality piano pieces and such an affordable price anywhere else. I love that I can find basically any song I want in your wide variety of music. I am also glad that you give a preview of the song so I can hear it before I buy it. This site is such a huge help to my performing abilities and is the ONLY site that I will buy sheet music from.

- Z. Schaffer, High School Student

As a piano bar performer I must try to play all requests. I need the sheet music now, today, while it is hot and can earn me tips. I don't have time to find it in a collection or something containing songs I already have, or to wait for the Post Office to deliver it to me. With Musicnotes I can order it, pay for it, and have it in minutes. I can use the song that night & make a better living.

- G. Fitzgerald, Piano Bar Performer

Piano lessons for beginners

Gather your courage - it's time to start learning! Before you sit in front of the instrument, leave all the negativity somewhere to the side and concentrate as much as possible. It would seem that things that are simple at first glance will still have time to present you with many surprises, but most importantly, do not lose heart if something does not work out for you the first time. The second important advice is don't rush, Moscow wasn't built right away either. (But if suddenly you are already studying at a music school and ended up on this page by accident, it will certainly be useful for you to read about the fifth circle of keys - a topic that is usually difficult for students to master in practice). nine0003

In principle, it is not so important what type of keyboard instruments you will be learning on, but I would strongly recommend that you still choose the piano: synthesizers, although more compact, have a significant drawback - most of them have keys reduced type, they are not full-bodied and you will not feel "rebound" and, on top of that, they are often limited to three or four octaves.

And one more thing, I promise you right away - limit yourself to this lesson of our Tutorial for now, do not forget that this is just a piano for beginners. Do not immediately try to embrace the immensity in a day - this will only bring harm. nine0003

It would even be better for you to repeat for several days only the material that you learn from here. And when you are ready, you will feel it yourself. Often people who can play the synthesizer quickly and fluently have trouble playing the same parts on the piano. But in the opposite direction, this rule will work accordingly: for those who played the piano, the synthesizer will seem much easier to perform.

Notes and keys
Accidentals - changes in pitch
Musical scales: playing the scale C major and others
- Conclusion

quickly press the notes and beats on the 9002 keys with the face 9002!

I bet you didn't make it. The impression that since the keys of the piano are arranged in the order Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si, then it is not worth the trouble to understand them is the deepest delusion. I am completely silent about the black keys! nine0003 Position of notes on the keys

Look carefully and remember - these are the basics of the basics that you will need to know first. Play notes by naming them, over time you will be able to instantly determine the location of any note, in the future, when you start studying chords, you will thank me more than once for focusing your attention on such a seemingly lightness.

Don't be afraid, I didn't forget about the black keys, but here you need a little insight into the theory, but you need to start somewhere, right? nine0003

At this stage, you already need to know the concept of interval. Intervals are the difference between two sounds of a certain pitch.

Accidentals - pitch changes

Semitone - the smallest unit in the measurement of intervals. On the piano, these are, for example, the keys Do and Do Sharp, in the absence of black keys, a semitone will be an adjacent sound, like Mi and Fa, for example. By the way, on stringed instruments, a semitone will be adjacent frets along one common string. Piano halftone arrangement

No, # is not the touch tone icon on the phone. Sharp (#) and Flat (b) are the so-called accidentals, denoting the rise and fall of a certain note by a semitone. So, flats and sharps will be not only notes on black keys:

Mi # = Fa
Fa b = Mi
C# = Up to
To b = C

As mentioned earlier, the rise and fall of fundamental notes is called alteration. There are five accidental signs: sharp, double-sharp, flat, double-flat and bekar. They are written like this:

Accidentals

The effect of accidentals on the pitch of notes is:

Sharp - raises the pitch of a note by a semitone
Flat - lowers by the same amount
Double sharp - raises by a whole tone
Double flat - lowers by the same amount
Bekar - cancels the effect of the previous sign on the same ruler. The note becomes clear.

Accidentals can be of different range - "key" and "oncoming" or "random". The first are placed immediately by a whole group next to the key, to the right of it, each on its own ruler. Always in a certain order. Sharps in the key are written as follows:

F-do-sol-re-la-mi-si

Keyed flats are written in the following order: si-mi-la-re-sol-do-fa

Key signs act on all notes in their line that can occur throughout the work, and even regardless of the octave. For example, the key sharp “fa” will raise all the notes of “fa” without exception, in all octaves and throughout the entire length of the piece.

Oncoming signs are valid only on their own line, only in their own octave and only during ONE STROKE (as road signs are valid only up to the first intersection). For example, an oncoming backer can cancel the effect of even a key character, but only for the current measure and only on this ruler. Counter signs are placed to the left of the head of the note that needs to be altered. This can be seen in the following figure. nine0003

So, I hope you have a general idea of accidental signs. It only remains to add that tone is the next highest value after semitone . Well, I think you already guessed that Tone = 2 semitones That is, a note one tone higher from Do will be Re, and a note one tone higher from Mi will be Fa #.

Remember the information given above - it is not very difficult, but will be needed everywhere. And we will use it immediately! I will try to explain everything as clearly as possible. nine0003

Musical Scales: Playing the C Major Scale and Others

Harmony is a pleasant harmony of notes for our ears. Key is a set of certain notes subordinate to one main note.

The first thing you need to know, based on the knowledge gained, is the construction of major scales.

scales are notes that are arranged in a certain order. The difference between major and minor is often explained to children as "happy" and "sad" scales, respectively, but this is not completely true - nothing prevents making sad songs in major and vice versa. Here are their main signs: nine0003

Scales built from 8 notes
First and Eighth, last, notes are the same in name, but different in pitch (pure octave)
Notes are played in strict order, the minimum distance between them is a semitone, and the maximum distance is a tone.

Remember carefully, with this simple formula you can play any major scale:

Tone - Tone - Semitone - Tone - Tone - Tone - Semitone

To make it easier:

2 Tones - Semitone - 3 Tones - Semitone

a lot of do, but c'est la vie!).

At the first stage, you will need to know 3 scales: C major, G major and F major.

Major scales are played with the following fingers: Large (1) → Index (2) → Middle (3) → (“tuck” thumb) → Large (1) → Index (2) → Middle (3) → Ring (4) → Little finger (5)

Then be sure to play backwards in reverse order: Little finger (5) → Ring finger (4) → Middle (3) → Index (2) → Large (1) → (“throw” the middle (3) finger to the position in front of the thumb finger (1)) → Middle (3) → Index (2) → Large (1)

Finger numbering for musicians

Important! It is highly desirable to play scales in 2 octaves, and it will look like this:

For the right hand (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (5) And then, respectively, in the opposite direction: (5) → (4) → (3 ) → (2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (4) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1)

Left hand (5) →(4) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (4) → (3) →(2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1) Conversely, as you, I hope, have already understood and remembered, according to the same principle: (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → ( 2) → (3) → (4) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (5)

Attention: there are exceptions to all rules!

In this case, everything will be so, but more on that later. The F major scale will be played differently. So that you don’t get completely confused, look at the pictures below - after them you definitely shouldn’t have any questions left! nine0003

C major (C dur) - without accidentals

Scale C dur - without accidentals

G major (G dur) - accidental one - F #  Scale G dur with accidental sign F #

F major ( F dur) – accidental sign one — Si b

That's the very exception to the rule! If you try to play this scale according to a given scheme, you yourself will understand how inconvenient it is. Especially for her, when playing with the right hand (only with the right, everything is played with the left as usual !!!) a different sequence of fingers is used: nine0003

For right hand :

(1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4)

And then, respectively, in the opposite direction:

(4) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (4) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (4) → (3) → (2) → (1)

For left hand : (5) →(4) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (4) → (3) → (2) → (1) → (3) → (2) → (1)

Conversely, as I hope you have already understood and remembered, according to the same principle: (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (1) → (2) → (3) → (4) → (5)

Scale F dur - accidental sign C b

First, hone and remember well how these scales are played - the next lesson will be devoted to the basics of musical notation.
