Percussion Instruments

Some instruments similar to the vibraphone are the xylophone and the marimba (wooden), the glockenspiel/Bells (metal) and the piano. All are keyboard instruments, and with the exception of the piano, are played by striking the keys with mallets.

Hamboning in a form of rhythmic percussion performed by slapping the body. See the link below for more information.

Shallower depths will give you more responsiveness, sensitivity, articulation, etc.

Deeper drums will provide more projection and power.

The size of the drum controls the tone and feel.

Bigger ones have deeper tone but big drums give sort of less feel to it

while smaller drum give higher tones but better feel

The word piano is Italian for soft. The piano used to be called the piano-forte because it was a variation of the harpischord that gave the player the ability to play soft or loud (forte means loud). Over time the 'forte' was dropped. Just like we call our Cellular phones 'cell' or 'phone' or 'cell-phone' but rarely 'cellular phones.'

The above is wrong. It goes like this.

Right hand

Ab C G Ab F G D# D. Ab C G Ab F G Ab A#

Left Hand

F G#+C X2 Ab D+F

This is, how ever, only the introduction. You play this by playing both hands for 1 then only the right hand for the next bit. So for example you play

G# + F together then it would go C then G+ G#+C. Then G. Once you get the hang of it it will come easy to you.

It is in the key of C minor, Eb majors relation, so it has 3 flats (b) and, as it is harmonic, will have a lot of the flats dropped from the Bb.

I am not sure they are the loudest; but one thing that helps make them loud is that the drumsticks can hit the drum with quite a lot of energy. In general, it's easier to provide a large amount of energy with your arms, than blowing with your mouth for example.

figure it out yourself

Because It is the vibration of the strings inside the piano that produces the sound of the piano.

Valse op.64 no.2 by Chopin

Grand and baby grand- grand piano's are favoured by professional pianists because they think they give a better, purer tone, although a really high quality upright piano can sound almost as good.

A 'baby grand' is just a half-size version of a full-sized grand.

You can get the sheet music for Expression by Helen Jane Long on the piano in a few ways. The best way is to buy it through a music store online.

In this town the store that sells sheet music has a computer. The store manager looks up the name on the computer, takes my money, and orders the music. Generally school music directors and church choir directors know the locations of such stores. Local piano teachers should also.

A chord is three musical notes played together. Major and minor chords are just different types of chords. Major chords tend to have a happy feel to them, while minor chords are sadder and more introspective. You can make major chords by selecting a root note, (let's say C for now) counting four keys (or half-steps) away from the C, which is an E, and then count seven half-steps from the C, to get a G. Making minor chords is exactly the same as making major chords; just count three half-steps away from the C the first time to get Eb/D#. So on a piano, C major is C,E,G, and C minor is C,Eb,G. Once you know all the notes to a chord, you can rearrange them and get different sounds. The possibilities are nearly endless. It can seem daunting at first, but you'll get it.

It is a percussion instrument.

A bass drum, is played with a mallet, or foot pedal, and is the one note, it is tuned to. A Timpani drum, has a pedal, that when pressed, tightens the head, and changes the note of the drum.....probably about an octave, or less.

They all involve banging on something with your hands, a stick, a brush, or just banging two things together.

I for each note except for the few highest notes
