Q. I want to learn how to play the office theme, yet I know nothing about the piano. I can read music pretty well (I play Trumpet in 7th-8th grade band) Is there a site or video on Youtube that can teach me super slow and easy. I have tried some videos but I cannot tell because I have no clue where the keys are. Please help>
A. I think thereâs two options for you:
- Learn the chords for piano. Hereâs a good web sites for that: http://www.looknohands.com/chordhouse/piano/
http://www.8notes.com/piano_chord_chart/
- The other way itâs to use the MIDIs. MIDI itâs like a digital score. Hereâs the steps for that:
1- Search the WEB for the song you like to learn in http://www.midisite.co.uk/
2- Open the file in this software: âSweet Sixteen MIDI Sequencer 3.3.2â that you can download free in http://www.ronimusic.com/download.htm#DL_SWEET_16
3- After that, go to the âGridâ section and youâll see all the notes you need to play for that song displayed in a keyboard inside of the software. All you have to do its repeat the notes displayed.
I learn to play piano like this on my on. You should try it.
Is there a computer software I could go buy that makes making beats very simple?
Q. I dont mind going to a store to purchase some software as long as its less that 20 dollars. I need something simple. I don't want to have to play a piano to make some beats, because god knows that I dont know how. I dont want to download anything from the web either. I want it to be out the store and agiain very very simple and easy to use, but yet makes good beats!
A. First: Judging by your statement I am going to assume you do not know much music theory. I am going suggest learn some music theory and notes cause those are basic for knowing how to make chord structures. best way to do that is find some free web sites where you can learn music theory for free. I don't have any off hand but if you ask on answers for the site you should find an answer then.
Second: The best out there right now is a program called Fruity Loops. It costs for the program but it is worth it with all the extensions you can download for it.
One thing you have to learn about computer programs. If you want good results then do not be cheap about it. Best said on Hustle and flow. he had to get the 200 dollar mic because the cheapo mic wasn't built structurally to handle the p's and b's.
The music theory will help out way more than any program. Music Theory is like the hand book of music. You have how the piano is structures and where to make chords and how to make them sound the way you want them to sound.
What's the best method for learning piano?
Q. I'd like to use online or software resources. But, I've seen some with focus on finger positioning & chords and some with focus on reading sheet music & drills. My goal is to be able to play both hands by reading sheet music with proper hand position. Any recommendations?
A. I have recently started piano lessons, not on line, and while you need to be able to use the correct figures and read sheet music, I have been told while the drills and the scales can be tedious it definitely improves you and will increase your skills for playing music. So persevere
