A. The 8th note is the octave, so the 9th note is the note above the octave. In the key of C, this is D. Depending on your hand position on the piano, you could play
C E G D, or E G C D, or G C D E, or E G C D. The one I would use is G C D E.
What notes should i play on the piano to create a gloomy song?
Q. I'm completely fresh to playing a piano. I know where the notes on the keyboard are located... i was wanting to play something incredibly gloomy and improvised. what notes do you suggest to create a gloomy, mellow tone?
A. Well, in the movie "This Is Spinal tap," one of the characters talks about, "a musical trilogy I'm working on in D minor which is the saddest of all keys, I find. People weep instantly when they hear it, and I don't know why.
So, you could start by playing in D minor. Play a d minor chord in your left hand (d, f, and a). In your right hand, you can make up a melody using the notes in the d minor scale. You can choose between natural minor and the harmonic minor scale.
Natural minor: D E F G A Bâ C D
Harmonic minor: D E F G A Bâ C# D
Or stick with your right hand in the five finger position to start: D E F G A
A common chord progression would be:
d minor (d f a)
g minor (g bâ d) or (d g bâ) so you don't have do jump around--an inversion
a minor (a c e) or (c e a) -- inversion
d minor (d f a)
You could also go back and forth between g minor and d minor for a while.
Another chord you might add to the mix is an e minor chord (e g b)...as long as you don't play a Bâ in the right hand at this time.
This should be a great start to a beautiful, gloomy song with room to improvise.
How can I start getting used to using the left hand on a piano?
Q. I've been wanting to play the piano for a while now and am mostly self-teaching but am also learning from lessons, and I keep struggling with the left hand (right hand is fine) - I do the melody on both hands sometimes to help with that, but it's really the whole chords thing that bothers me. Also, talking in finger positions for a minute - on the left hand, sometimes when I need to use 3, 2 wants to be used instead. I don't really wanna call it a habit but I can't describe it as anything else - how do I break that habit (for lack of a better word)?
A. You want to practice your left hand separate from the right hand. You may consider the "Piano Technique" co-authored by Karl Leimer and Walter Gieseking which provides separate hand practice routines for scales and other exercises to train the ear to hear better what the hands are playing. You want to play slow when you begin and spend more time working on the scales and exercises with your left hand. When you left hand is ready practice with both hands.
You can also practice special exercises included in "The Virtuoso Pianist" that are designed to create equality between both hands. Included are five-finger exercises for practicing scales and more difficult octaves and virtuoso.
