What are the steps to learning piano notes?
The most important and initial step to learning piano notes is locating the notes on the piano. Finding a diagram of the keys marked with notes is fairly easy to do and will help the learning process. Diagrams are available online or in books dedicated to learning piano. Once one is able to identify the notes of the white keys, the next step is learning the order of the notes for the black keys. Note patterns are repetitive which makes them easier to remember.
What are the black notes on the keyboard?
There are only 7 full piano notes to remember. Notes of the black keys are easy to find once you learn the notes of the white piano keys.and those are the keyboard notes.
Why piano keys are not in alphabetical order?
The musical alphabet starts with "A" and only goes through "G". Any piano with 88 keys (standard) begins in the Bass with "A". So, technically, they are in alphabetical order, but they start over once you pass "G".
What is a b flat on a piano?
The b flat key is going to be a black key. I can only help if you know where to find a A and/or a B. once you find one of them, lets use A for example, is going to be the first black key you reach if you are going up in a scale. If you use my B example just go back down a scale and it will be the first one you reach. See the related link below for a picture of a keyboard labeled with notes.
How do you open a roland piano 3500s?
Allow the Roland to rest on its back edge so that the front of the keys face upward. on the bottom front edge of the piano loosen 4-5 screws that hold the plate to which the keys are attached. once you've loosened this u shaped plate the top half of the piano will hing upwards, opening the piano completely. If your keys are not playing or playing intermittantly you can diss-assemble the entire keyboard clean the pads with a non oilbased non abrasive switch cleaner and your Roland will be as good as new.

Why do several keys on your piano have signatures?
A key signature on a piano is not a piano key. In my case, I actually have signatures on the wood vertical sides of the first 2 keys and the last 7 keys. I have tried to research their names, but the Weber piano was built in 1889.______________________DAWG replies:Based on this info, I can only assume that you mean that someone literally signed a name on the sides of some of the keys?Could it be that the piano was repaired and a repairman who worked on it left a record? Here's a link that may help.http://kansascitypianotuning.com/piano-tuning/piano-repair/I think it's possible that a clever repairman made notes of which keys were repaired/replaced, possibly to leave a record of which keys were under warranty.If there are no date codes I'd be inclined to believe that the signed keys were those needing repair, rather than the signatures on nine keys representing nine routine service calls for tuning for instance. If the piano was subject to high humidity (in Louisiana for instance) then multiple key replacements from swelling may have been a regular service problem in that region.I'm just spitballing because in my type of service work I leave a detailed record of the work performed for billing and warranty purposes. That way another service tech doesn't have to see the entire service history to know if a replacement part fails more than once. This would have been good business, especially before phones and computers made accessing the service record so easy.Without seeing the sigs that's my best guess.Make sense 2 ewe?
What materials are pianos made out of?
Most pianos are made of carved wood, supported by a metal frame and containing the metal sound box (hammers and strings). The piano keys, once made of ivory, are normally synthetic plastics, or acrylic over wood. Numerous different materials are required during the production of a piano. The case or outer rim (the outside) of a piano is generally made from a hardwood, such as maple or beech. This section of the piano is designed to have no interference with the sound in the piano, so a hardwood which does not absorb sound is perfect. The vital piece of material in a piano is called the soundboard. The soundboard is at the best of times produced using multiple pieces of spruce. The spruce (thin wood) is harvested from generally cold climatic regions of the world, such as Canada, Italy (colder areas) or Germany. This creates a finely grained and imperfection free piece of wood, enhancing the sound or tone quality to the piano. In cheap pianos, often a piece of plywood is used for the soundboard, but this is frowned upon by technicians as it is of poor quality. The strings are made of solid steel and need to be strong, as they are put under enormous pressure. The bass strings are usually also wrapped in copper wiring, to increase their diameter. The pressure of the strings is controlled by the solid steel frame, often seen as the ugly part of a piano, however producers of modern pianos have managed to turn the frame into a piece of art, often with the logo branded into a painted or decorated piece of steel. The majority of the weight behind a piano is due to the inclusion of the solid steel frame. Most of the internal mechanisms, or actions are produced from hardwood as well, such as beech, maple or hornbeam. This is so they can withstand the continuous activity they undergo. The keys are produced from spruce or basswood, for weight purposes. They have historically been coated in ivory, but of course due to the endangerment of animals with ivory, this has since been abandoned, for typical plastics or mock ivory, known as ivorite or ivorine.
What Is Wood Grain?
Wood grain is the rough texture in wood that is made out of tiny little gaps and holes in the wood. It is caused by the way the tree grows: in rings which are produced once a year.
How would this instrument be classified Piano.?
The piano is a stringed instrument, as it is very similar the the harp, but on a piano the strings are attached to keys and when you press down on the key, a hammer strikes the string and plays the note. You can see this in action if you lift up the piano's lid

How do you play riverside on piano?

Is piano or keyboard is best for the kids for learning?
Well, keyboards and pianos are basically the same. But some keyboards arent your natural 88 keys. When I first started piano lessons I had a 50 somethin keyed keyboard. But also, if you want your child to have the best feel of the piano so they will get used to it easier and get the feel of a real piano, i recommend piano. Keyboards are just plastic and don't use the power in your fingers. Real pianos you have to use finger muscles. So it is good to let your kids get used to that. You don't have to get a big grand piano if you don't want to jump into things. Just get a normal Roland electric. Or Kawai they are both good. But the ones with Plastic on the top of the key and wood on the bottom give the best grand piano impersonation. You use more muscle unlike keyboards and full plastic electrics. Bottom line. Electric piano. 88 keys..Wooden bottoms and plastic tops. Rolands are the best. Once youre kid shows enough dedication, then it is time to invest 32,000 dollars in a grand lol. I know what Im talking about for an eleven year old. Trust me. I know my pianos
