What is a Sustain Pedal Piano for and where do I have to place it?

Q. Also, I own an 88 digital piano keyboard and I would like to know if this stand fits fits it perfectly or do I need something bigger:

Thank you!

A. The sustain pedal holds the notes after you've played them, so if you're holding down the pedal and playing a chord or a note you can take your finger off the key and it will keep sounding. You place it under your right foot. You said "sustain pedal piano" though.. not sure why the "piano" part is on the end of that...? Do you mean something else?

Also, I'd recommend a stand with double cross-beams instead of single cross-beams, it'll be more secure.

Original Question

Any suggestions on good books to help a beginner learn Piano Chords?
Q. Ok, got a nice Keyboard, picked up "Piano for Dummies" but rather than learn and play individual notes
I heard you can learn and play Piano Chords like you would on a guitar instead of all individual notes, . If I don't have any success playing individual notes can someone suggest a good book that shows you how to play Piano chords? Thanks in advance

A. Hey....lame as it may sound....a good way to learn piano is to get a hymn book....whether you're religious or not... If you can work your way through a hymn book you can learn piano. That is how I taught myself. I started when I was like 12 and went from there to playing very advanced pieces...

Now I even compose my own music. Hymn books are usually pretty simple but they are also very varied. Give one a try! You could probably find one second-hand at a thrift store somewhere for only a dollar or two!

Good luck!

Is Learning How To Play The Piano Difficult?
Q. i want to learn how to play the piano/keyboard. im 16 and i love music. but isn't it hard with like 50 keys on it and remembering all the notes and junk?

A. Actually, there is only eleven notes on the piano/keyboard that sounds different from each other. So if you have 50 keys on your keyboard, you still only have to learn the eleven notes. So, if you play the lowest note (the white one to the far left of the piano keyboard) and play all the notes from the first one - playing the white and black keys in order to the right twelve steps you have reached an octave. This is where the notes repeat them self. You should go through some videos on YouTube about music theory, cause there's to much to say.

Is it hard to learn piano? I would say both yes and no. The benefits of learning piano over an other instrument like guitar or violin is that you always see the notes in front of you in a constant order. You can't change around the notes, they lay there for you all the time. Another great think about learning piano is the expressiveness. A piano player usually plays both the bass and the chords/melodies on his instrument which creates harmonies, while in a band with guitar and bass the guitar player usually plays the chords and melodies and the bass player the bass parts to create the same harmony. So, you're not only learning how to play chords or melody like a guitarist or violinist, but also the bass lines that a bass player would play which would ultimately create harmony.

Learning the piano can also be a painstaking process, because you need to learn to coordinate your right hand and your left hand to play either simultaneously or against each other. This is very hard in the beginning, and students usually learn simple chords first and then how to play melody over chords before finally adding the bass elements with chords and melody.

I hope you find some of my information helpful and good luck learning any instrument you should choose in the near future! :)

And remember, always follow your passions and dreams. Never let any tell you otherwise.
