Q. I am a beginner on piano and would love the chords to this song. The only words are hallelujah.
Thank you so much ahead of time.
A. Type either ' "Hallelujah" piano music free" ' OR ' "Hallelujah" guitar tab free" ' into google. You should definitely find something.
Good luck!
How hard is it for children age 5-8 to play classical piano?
Q. Ive been checking out some YouTube videos of small children playing the piano, and some people call it child abuse. I disagree. If you have experience with this, can you tell me about how long it takes for them to learn the song well and how difficult is it?
A. I think it's only child abuse when parents slap a "prodigy" label on a little kid the minute the child picks out a simple tune on the piano. Most of these kids are even particularly good when compared to other children, but a lot of unearned and over-lavish praise is heaped on them. When they lose their cuteness--and their playing ability doesn't noticeably improve--then what?
Most children really love music, so giving them piano lessons to help nurture that love of music isn't a bad thing.
That's different from THIS:

I especially love the PBS special. There are times he is just playing some basic chords while an orchestra, singers, and other musicians are backing him up.
This is his Wikipedia article that lists his credits--and he's just 11.

He's still going strong and has many fans among people you would think would know better. The Emperor is naked, but no one wants to say.
Many famous composers and musicians did start playing and even composing music at a very early age. Of course, there are stories that Beethoven's father used to beat him regularly, but this may just be folklore--I've found sources that both confirm this story or shoot it down as false. However, it is true that Ludwig's Dad was extremely harsh with the young boy if he made mistakes and forced him to practice many hours, often into the night. On the other hand, Beethoven--as an adult--was recognized as a true piano virtuoso.

For the average kid, I think playing the piano is fine. It might be easier for a 7 or 8 year old to play than a 5 year simply based on the typical attention span at those ages, as well as physical dexterity, but I myself gave my 2 year old a small keyboard of her own to play with when she showed interest in her grandparent's piano. (Notice I said "play with"--but even a very young child can teach herself or be shown how to play simple tunes---it doesn't make them a musical genius)
How do I start getting into music?
Q. I love music more than anything, I love listening to it and I want to play music and create my own. I'm just unsure how to start. How do I enter that culture is what I'm asking. What are good instruments to to start to learn how to play and how do I learn how to play them? Also, how can I become a better singer?
A. It depends what kind of music you like, and what instrument you want to play. If you'd eventually like to play lots of instruments, then maybe start with guitar or piano. But it's up to you. You should take lessons if you can; you'll progress much faster and will be less likely to develop bad habits. Of course, you can still practice at home as well. Say you were learning guitar. Once you've learnt some scales, or even just a few basic chords, you'll have all the knowledge you need to compose a simple song. As you go along, you'll pick up more techniques and knowledge, and your compositions can become more advanced.
It's the same with singing. Get lessons, and practice whenever you can.
Record yourself singing (or playing your chosen instrument) too. This gives you an opportunity to judge how well you're doing (things can sound very different on a recording, but are accurate!). It will also help to keep you motivated, as you can look back on your early practices and see how much you've progressed.
It takes a lot of hard work sometimes, but keep at it and you'll succeed.
All the best! :)
