Q. Anyone knows how to do the accompaniments on the piano? Just the accompaniments for singing (no melody). Something like what Alicia Keys do. I've tried playing only the left hand part of some music scores and they sound weird.
I've stopped my piano lesson a few years back in grade 6. I've been busy and don't have time to resume the lessons. But I'm still playing occassionally.
Anyone can help please....? Thank you :)
Gee... if you don't know the answer, then please refrain yourself from answering. thank you.
A. Basically just play chords or inversions of chords. For example, Alicia Keys' No One. Her basic chords are E, B, C#, and A. So she just arranges notes around to get a pattern, which also is the basis of her rhythm.
Are you trying to compose some of your own music? I'd love to hear it.
Clair de Lune~Piano Question?
Q. Is it difficult to play? Also, how hard is Moonlight Sonata 2nd Mov. compared to the first?
Thanks ^^
A. Clair de Lune is a harder piece than it sounds or looks. You have to have the ability to play quick (and smooth) arpeggios and similar patterns with one hand, count unusual rhythms, play very large chords, and jump from place to place. This video gives a pretty good demonstration of what each hand's part would look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGPCkFgdcIw
As for the second movement of the moonlight sonata, it's hard to say. Both of them have parts that aren't exactly easy, but I suppose it would depend on how good you are. I would just take a look at the sheet music, try it out, and decide for yourself.
Playing different rhythms on different hands on keyboard/piano..?
Q. So i havnt taken piano or keyboard lessons or anything but i still learnd 2 play some songs from youtube, but lyk some i cant play because u hav 2 play chords and stuff so ur playing a different rhythm in each hand, is there any way i can do tht w/out takin lessons?
A. First of all, I usually practice each hand separately so the hand movements and chord formations are second nature to me. Next, I'll try to figure out how the two parts rhythmically fit together. It can be difficult to think of two separate things at once. sometimes I'll jot down the two lines of patterns on a piece of paper. There are only three variations possible: note/chord played on right hand, note/chord played on left hand, and notes/chords played on both hands. I'll usually work out some kind of pattern in my head - right, right, together, left, together, for example. It's a clunky process, and it takes time, but eventually your playing should get more natural.
You didn't mention if this is the first instrument you've played or not, but good for you for trying to learn. If you only want to play occasionally, just learning on your own through trial and error should be sufficient. However, if you find yourself wanting to learn more difficult works, and you have a bit of time and money to invest, I would highly recommend lessons. Your skills should improve in leaps and bounds. In any case, I wish you the best of luck in your learning and playing.
