Why
Should You Learn To Play
Classical Piano?
Here Are
Some Reasons ...
Let's face
the facts. There is no other type
of music that is as complicated
or as beautiful as classical
piano.
To hear
Beethoven’s Fifth live and
in person is a joy that’s
not even describable in words. A
composer knows the only way to
adequately show appreciation for
a masterpiece is to compose an
accompanying melody. One great
classical piano piece begets
another.
Showing
Appreciation For Classical
Piano
How can you
show your appreciation for
classical piano music? By buying
soundtracks or downloading
MP3’s? True, that’s one
way. For classical music lovers,
maybe that’s all they can do
to cast an ode to the musical
giants like Beethoven, Bach,
Schumann, Handel, Mozart and
Chopin is to listen and
applaud.
But if you
really want to show your
appreciation and you have a
keyboard and ten long working
fingers, why not learn to play
classical piano? Yes, you!!
The Joy
And Satisfaction Of Learning To
Play Classical Piano
Music
There’s
nothing quite like learning to
play Johann Pachelbel’s
Canon In D on a piano or keyboard
and to actually hear the famous
notes tapping along as a result
of your own fingers playing. The
piece is largely made up of
repeated major and minor
chords and is
a beautiful song that is
relatively easy to
learn.
A more
complicated piece to learn but a
delight to play would be
Mozart’s Turkish March,
which must be played rapidly and
with zest.
Patience
And Practice Will Enhance Your
Musical Skills
Of course
to actually learn to play
classical piano music, one must
have a lot of time for practice
and a desire to learn. Reading
sheet music can be difficult at
first, but the more you read the
more natural it comes.
Only 7
Music Notes?
Did you
know there are only seven notes
in music? Well, there are. A, B,
C, D, E, F, G. That's it! Hold
on, the variations will mesmerize
you!
Memorizing
chords works the same way. It
seems difficult when you realize
there are numerous chord
possibilities between 12 scales
of 12 different notes, 7 octaves
and many variations of chords
including majors, minors,
diminished, augmented, 7th and
9ths — and the list goes
on.
Classical
Piano Music Lessons
Learning to
play can be taught by a private
music tutor or can be
self-taught. Lessons can be
expensive with even the average
teacher charging $10.00 to $15.00
per 30-minute lesson. With so
many good books available on
learning the instrument it might
be the more economical
choice.
Buying A
Piano
Speaking of
economical, let’s say you
want the real piano experience
and want to buy a real grand
piano. A classical piano comes in
all sizes and colors and can
easily fill a small room, so be
sure you have plenty of space.
And get out
your checkbook, because grand
pianos can cost from $2000.00 to
over $12,000.00 dollars! While
many people finance grand pianos,
others choose the economic route,
and merely look for good deals on
preowned models or smaller size
pianos running from $500.00 to
$2000.00. Sometimes the best
place to find a good deal on a
used piano is through classified
ads.
The
Wonder Of Classical Piano - Get
Lost In The Feeling
Classical
piano is a wondrous hobby and
unlike any other whether
you’re listening to
classical music, learning to play
on keyboard, or performing a
famous piece on your own grand
piano. Now, have some fun, learn
to play classical
music.
