Q. I am learning to play piano and i dont understand why do you need to know piano chords? I have sheet music and based on what note it is i know what note to push. so like what is the deal? ha
A. well if your in a band and someone just created a melody he/she will ask you to play it by the chords. how else will he/she make you play their melody? obviously people wont get a paper and start drawing a sheet music..
Where do i start if i want to learn the basics about how to play piano?
Q. i really want to learn how to play piano, and become really good... but i have no idea where to start... i know how to play scales/ and the notes from playing percussion for awhile but thats it.
A. 1st know this. The right hand is the vocal melody and the left hand is what plays the chords so keep that in mind.
2nd once you figure out what the chord progression is and how to play the vocal melody, now you just have to experiment in making your own arrangements.
With the right hand you'll play the vocal melody and with the left hand you'd play the chords. How you choose to play the chords is up to you, you can use arpeggios, play them as octave chords or triads is up to you. But just remember, there are 3 notes per chord on the piano, any 4th or 5th note will most likely be a repetition of one of the first 3.
You wont have to always use the notes in the chord but you will have to most of the time. Other times you might be able to use other notes that are not from those used in the chord.
What are the hardest and easiest instruments to play?
Q. my aunt said Piano and guitar are easy and violin is in the harder level. But I think violin would be easier since there's only 4 strings and they are short... And piano would be on the harder level since you have to play 2 different sounds with your right and left hand.
A. Any instrument is hard if you decide you want to be good.
Guitar is easy as a beginner, because you can play chords and those aren't hard to learn. But if you want to actually get good, you have to put in a lot of practice time.
Piano is easy as a beginner because you press keys and you don't have to hear pitch at first and will still have a nice tone quality no matter what you press (unless it is a rub etc etc but that is a later conversation)
VIOLIN is hard. It is hard for beginners because it wont produce a good tone quality as you are learning; you can't fake it as you might be able to with guitar and piano. It has no frets, meaning you have to memorize where the pitch is centered. Usually, I am able to pick up instruments fast; I could not with violin.
But I would say the hardest instruments to play are horn, bassoon, and oboe. And there is no "easiest' instrument because all take time, practice, and dedication to actually create music.
You should pick the instrument that appeals most to you. How it looks, feels, sounds. I play trumpet, and I love it so much. Good Luck!
