How do you read note for piano?

Answer 1

Piano HarmonicsJaron LehmanYou play harmonics on a piano by running your fingers along notes. It is also known as a glissando. (Really, your second and third fingers on the back) or just play two or more notes at least a third apart. That's called harmony

(that's not what was meant).

To play harmonics on a piano, you will need the piano to be a grand piano. Have the lid open, and have a helper place his/her finger on the string(s) at a certain point very lightly, and then strike the key. This creates one of the many harmonics the piano can do. Since most of the piano notes have more than one string, for a higher chance of getting the required harmonic, you should try and use a note that has only one string (e.g. the lower notes).

Answer 1 - Harmonics on Electric Guitar are also known as "artificial" pinch harmonics and chimes. To play a harmonic chime, lightly touch a string above the 12th fret (any string) with your fretting hand (do not fret the string, only touch it directly above the fret) and pluck the string normally. As soon as you pluck the string release your fret hand from the string. You should hear a distinct ring or chime sound. Answer 2 - Usually the harmonics are part of your played sound of an acoustic instrument. An Equalizer can boost the overtones. There is a little problem in counting the harmonics and the overtones. So you find different statements in the internet. Some are wrong and some are right. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".

Answer 3

The Most Basic of the Basics

Sitting at the piano, you will notice that the keys that are farther to the left are lower in pitch, and the lowest pitch is made by the left-most key. As you move to the right, the pitches go up. Now when you look at ordinary piano music, there are two 'staffs' that are meant to be played together as you go. There is a gap between the staffs, and usually to the left you will see a bracket indicating that the staffs go together.

The lower staff corresponds to the lower pitched notes on the keyboard, and the upper staff corresponds to the higher notes. Disregarding some technical detail, if you wanted to write the staff notes for all the piano keys in order from left to right, you would have a slope of notes on the page, starting beneath the lower staff and moving up and to the right, all the way to the highest note which would be above the top staff. If someone can show you 'middle c' on your piano (it's not exactly in the middle) then you can be aware that that note, middle c, is the note right in the middle of the gap between staffs. Beyond this, you will need some instruction or at least some well written beginner's material to guide you though. It does get complicated, but then it becomes easy once it is understood and practiced.

Answer 4

Sharps and flats are half step increments in the ptich of a note. A flat note is one half lower than the natural note and the sharp is one half step higher in ptich than the natural note. In your question, the natural note is C.

In written music, a flat mark looks like a lower case b. A sharp mark/indicator is a pound sign or number sign, #

A flat of a natural note is also the Sharp of the natural note under it in the scale.

So a C# is a Db (D-Flat). Same note but referred to differently depending upon the key register the song/music is in. If the music is in a flat key you would refer to it as Db, a sharp key register would be C#.

On the piano, you see white and black keys. The black keys are the flats and sharps. The white keys are the natural notes, a, b, c, d, e, f, and g then repeat a, b, c, etc...

The black keys are 2 then 3 and repeat over the keyboard. C# is the black key on the left of the set of 2 black keys.

Hope this helps...

Answer 5

Im talking about the actual music in the hymnal, not improvising or anything. Is there a secret to it, or you just learn slowly song by song?

Answer 6

press ze one on the top and ze one on the bottom

Answer 7

The F# key on the piano is the first of the three grouped black keys.

Answer 8

Depends which clef you are in. If treble clef, then the bottom line is e, and it works its way up. For bass clef, the bottom line is g, and so on
