I really want to play this song:

Help me please!
A. Well friend...Why not....fundamental music theory is same for Guitar and Keyboard(or piano)...
You wont get exact impact though...coz,its a fact that while we play chords on Guitar we play almost 3 to 3.5 octaves in our one stroke...while the piano player has to move around his fingers for playin 3 octave or 3 and a half octave chords!
You can apply basic theory rules to play that on Keyboard or Piano...
As you must be knowing....chord is made up of (mainly) three notes....the first,the third and the fifth note of a scale (in theory....known as "Tonic" , "Medient" and "Dominant")
Hence....you need to find out the key of this song...
So,its a simple song with C major as its key...
Now look.....
C major chord= C E G (play these notes on the piano together)
By doing so....you get the C Major Chord!
Similarly
Em= E G B
Press these three notes together so,they become Em chord
Similarly.....F Major=F A C and G Major = GBD
(My opinion....friend...i'd suggest you to find chord positions by your own on the keyboard and then play....that makes music sound exciting coz you've discovered the things by yourself...better not copy the positions without knowing what they are and why was that position invented:)) Moreover...try playing arpeggios....watching the chord pattern...i think so(i'm not aware of this song) but,i think...on piano....arpeggios would sound much better:))
How do I get my mom to let me quit piano?
Q. I just to need to get this out there. I fucking hate piano. My piano teacher is a fucking pain in the ass. She NEVER shows up on time. And then sheâs the most bitchy degrading person. If I play a wrong note, sheâll make a whining sound. And she ALWAYS has to make some comment about me never going to get anywhere in life. Iâm so fucking sick of it. She has made me and my brother cry numerous times. Weâve tried to tell our parents to quit, and our dad is cool with the idea, but my mom thinks weâll hurt the piano teacherâs feelings and that we NEED to play it until college. Itâs just a waste of money. Iâve been playing piano for like 10 years and I canât stand it anymore. She makes us play the same boring piece for like a year until we get it right. Iâve stopped trying, which of course caused her to make more degrading comments. Sheâs the most negative, downer person I know. Encouragement is the rarest thing ever from her.
I hate it even more that all because of this, itâs caused me to not like piano. I really want to get back to loving it like I used to. I kind of have a band now (because I also play guitar) and they want me to do keyboard also, when needed. But I can't even bring myself to that because piano has been ruined for me. I don't want it to be that way.
Should I just get a new piano teacher? How can I convince my mom to let me quit for right now?
A. I was once like you. At the moment you probably wont want to listen to what I have to say, but a few years from now you might feel differently.
I used to hate piano. My mum kinda forced me into it. Everytime I tried to quit my mum would guilt me into changing my mind. She said that 'playing music uses the same part of your brain for maths' or something like that, and that if I quit my schooling would suffer.
My piano teacher sounds similar to yours, but not quite as bad. I just had no interest in piano; no motivation, and I didn't practice, and that just seemed to make her even more disappointed in her. I WAS JUST SO SICK OF IT.
I was trapped into playing piano ever since I was ~5 years olds. I'm now 17 (tomorrow I turn 18 yay!) and my perspective on piano has changed dramatically. When I was about 15 or so I started listening to music by Queen, namely 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' That song quickly became my favourite, and still is today. Most of this masterpiece is played on piano, and it became an obsession of mine to learn how to play such a difficult song.
I actually started practicing piano because of one song. And the more I practiced piano, the more I started to appreciate different kinds of music; even the ones that didn't really appeal to me. The crummy songs my piano teacher made me play didn't seem so crummy anymore!
Now I have stopped taking piano lessons because I'm in my final year of high school, but I am so grateful that I never quit piano lessons earlier. I am so fortunate for having the opportunity to actually learn music. And not only that, but having a good, solid basis of understanding of piano is incredibly useful in learning other instruments, like guitar. I have so many friends who struggle with picking up new instruments because they never learned piano.
I practice piano every day now. I'm learning the piano solo of the song 'Butterflies and Hurricanes' by Muse. Actually, that's a lie, I'm already really good at that solo, but I just LOVE to play it on the piano now. And I really enjoy playing other songs on the piano, too.
I hope you can learn from my experience. Even if you don't like piano RIGHT NOW, it doesn't mean to say a few years down the track you will LOVE it like I do.
But what can you do right now about your current situation? Well, I suggest you try to learn songs you like on piano, like I did. The song doesn't even have to have piano in it for you to be able to play it. For example, a lot of house music don't have...well any instruments really! (everything's done on computer) But you can still learn the chords in those songs, and have fun playing them. And maybe...you might find you like piano after all.
So stick at it! Like I said, you wont wanna hear that right now, but just keep at it!
my piano wont sound!!?
Q. the key "E"
wont play any sounds!
wjy?
its not a piano
its keyboard
A. there may be a problem with the hammer hitting the string for that particular key. can you open the pianos cover to see the hammers inside? if you can, see if there is something wrong with the hammer. Each key has a hammer inside the piano that strikes a metal chord that makes a sound. if you cant see why it isn't playing, try calling a piano tuner who can help fix it, or ask someone you know who knows about pianos. to help. good luck! its not uncommon for used pianos to have occasional problems.
