Indeed, only one of the Cs on the piano is 'middle C'. The others aren't given a specific name (although the lowest might be called "sub-contra C" sometimes.) A piano tuner calls different C's by numbers, numbering the lowest C1. (The A below that is A0.) The next C up is C2, and so on to C8, the highest key on an 88-key keyboard.

Middle C, then, is C4.

What are three names of the piano pedals?

The far left pedal on some pianos when pressed, will sustain the lower half of the piano. This ideal for holding down a chord for a long time or when both hands are needed higher up on the piano. It's rarely used. However on some pianos, it's used to lightly soften the sound of the piano. The middle pedal is the practice pedal. It dramatically softens the sound of the piano. The far right pedal is the sustain pedal. It lifts the dampers on the piano so that every note that is hit, keeps ringing until the pedal is released, dropping the dampers and stopping the sound. A side note to this is that the functions of each pedal varies from piano to piano, although, the far right sustain pedal is the same on ever piano.

I for each note except for the few highest notes


Angelus winkelmann piano a good brand?

Winkelmann pianos are very good. I don't know what an "Angelus Winkelmann" piano is. Is Angelus the type of Winkelmann piano that you have? See the link here, with a description of the Winkelmann pianos. They were made in Germany. I played on an upright when I was a kid until 16 and it sounded like a grand piano, which I've also played on a few (Kawai's and Yamaha's). It's made me very particular of pianos, just having grown up to the quality of the Winkelmann. The bass was strong and clear, not like a lot of pianos today where the bottom octave keys all blend into each other, almost seeming to sound the same and not well defined. The middle was great, not bright but just right for classical music, the treble to high treble was great, too, but not crystalline like I've rarely heard some pianos, but was still very good compared to a lot of pianos I've tried since. Supposedly, the piano we had was from 1905 and, after a few moves, I don't know where it is now. I am shopping for a piano now and keep wishing I still had that piano, over a grand.

It seems like your skills are just denigrating each time. Why is it that each time you play the piano you play it worse then the last time?

I think you mean degenerating - denigrate is defamation; a blackening of a person's character.

What do middle schoolers mean when they ask each other out?

Well, you see, it means that they are asking each other out. Dating is not all that super important as it seems as a middle schooler, but if you like someone and they like you, you should go out and have fun. I personally don't think that you can ever TRULY date as a middle schooler, but you can almost-date, as I say.

If they're multiple c's on the piano how do you find the one you want?

Each of the Cs on the piano have different pitches. If you are playing by ear the correct C is the one with the pitch that you desire. If you are playing with sheet music, each note on the staff corresponds to a specific note on the piano. For example, in the treble clef, the note on the line below the staff is middle C (usually located just to the left of the center of the piano). The next C higher would be the note on the second highest space in the treble clef. The same idea is true for the bass clef. Alternatively, some people may refer to each of the Cs with a number, like C2 or C5. The number corresponds to the pitch, with C1 being the lowest C on the piano.

Is every note the same?

A piano has 12 notes on it. The notes (keys) are from A - G. Each note can be a flat or a sharp. Each note will either be higher or lower in pitch than the one being played. If you played Middle C on the piano and then played the next key on the right (which would be a D if going one full step up) it would be slightly higher in pitch.
