Q. Im writing a song in D major based loosely on psalm 23 the lord is my shepard. Its for 2 sopranos and I want a piano to accompany them
A. years of experience. i suggest finding a very good player to do it, or hiring somebody to do it. if you want to go simple, try doing the notes of the sporanos with some chords that compliment iot but it wont be easy
What's the point of headphones in a keyboard?
Q. I'm not talking about a keyboard for a computer, I'm talking about one for music just to clarify.
I've been trying to find a portable keyboard and most of the ones I see come with headphones. So I was just curious if the headphones keep the music confined to the headphones so that other people wont hear what your playing or are they just to make notes sound clearer?
A. You can practice without disturbing people.
You can keep your latest compositions private.
You can concentrate on the music instead of other sounds in the house disturbing you.
That way you can fail to hear calls for help with the washing up or mowing the lawn.
Even cheap headphones can give a purer sound than the little speakers built into keyboards.
You can get good sound by plugging the output into a hifi amplifier if there is one available or more conveniently by simply plugging in some decent headphones.
On batteries you get more playing time from a set because the little headphone amp inside uses much less power than the speaker amp
Guy dropped a piano down a mine shaft and the music teacher said,
Ahh, that struck a chord...A flat miner.
Comes out better spoken. Minor and miner sound the same but you can't get both in one word with writing.
EDIT.
Oooops, forgot one....errr, two. Resolution and dynamic range
.If you have a whole cascade of triplets all going together the little speakers fitted to keyboards will make a jumble of it. h Even half decent headphones give you better resolution.
For music with a high dynamic range you need speakers uncomfortably high in places to hear the faint delicate bits properly, or keep adjusting the volume.
With headphones you can get the delicacies and the thump thumps bang crash wallop without having to explain to somebody why the speakers are so high.
First one is illustrated by Our Moura, the lovely Moura Lympany with her recording of Littolff No4, and nobody did it better.
The second is not on keyboard. It's a Pipa.
It's a battle 1800 years ago that changed Chinese history when the mighty and Invincible King Chu .....lost..
In the second half the piquant and melancholy almost not there notes,, and some are really not there but we hear them at the peaks of a couple of the finely balanced and delicate turns, are all lost if the bangs are at moderate volume instead of very loud and then it's all ruined,
With needing a lot of volume the hammer strokes also need good resolution to hear the composition of them or it's just noises and not chords. On speakers you can have a problem if other people share the house.
Those hammer strokes of war are not all the same. There are different tin helmets being struck and different sized heads falling off though most of them are standard size 6 infantry heads haha

Littolff Scherzo. Only Moura get the twinkly bits twinkling so well like sparkles in tumbling sunny waterfall.

On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it to learn how to play the Piano?
Q. I think the Piano is a beautiful instrument, and I've envied those who play it fluently. I want to learn, but when I tried playing a chord and the main melody at the same time, my mind couldn't concentrate on the two. It's like looking left and right at the same time. But I know it's possible because others can play it and make it look easy. Is it just a case of practice? Or developing your mental concentration to focus on two things at once?
A. Depending on how musically inclined you are. Reading music is the hard part to master. If you know how then I would say like 5 and if not then 8-9.
I took piano for 8 years and I know what u mean about left and right hand. What I found helpful was mastering the left hand (or right hand if you are left handed) first so that you get the hard part out of the way, and then move to the other hand and master that and then put them together.
But if you are JUST starting, I would suggest starting smaller and play one handed melodies and maybe even buy a finger excersise book (you can find them at music stores). You wont be able to just jump right into Bach and Mozart and stuff right away.
Also, play things you enjoy playing because that makes practice easier. Good Luck!
