How do you read note for piano?

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).

Does a triangle play in treble clef?

What are the features of pianoforte?

One needs at least one arm ... there are pieces for just the left or right arm ... and fingers, and lots of dexterity. It's not so much physical as the pressure required to make a string vibrate is quite nominal actually. One also needs to be able to sit properly and work a couple pedals with the feet.

Who is the inventor of the piano pedal?

Pedals for the piano began life as pedals for the harpsichord. Very few harpsichords were outfitted with pedals because the purpose of the pedals was to change registration quickly and easily on the harpsichord, without having to lift the hands from the keys to do the same thing. Mostly, it was the English who dabbled in applying pedals to the harpsichord. As a result, they were also the first to add pedals to pianos. Before that, the earliest pianos made had no pedals at all because they were considered to be harpsichords with loud and soft (in Italian, "Gravicembalo col Forte e Piano") When the addition of stops on the forte-pianos were created to change the sound, it involved manually shifting the keyboard or pulling or pushing a handstop to effect the change. Later, the Austrian and German fortepiano makers invented the knee lever to raise and lower the dampers. The English pianoforte makers were applying pedals to do the same thing about the same time. By 1815, pedals were standard equipment on almost every piano. In Vienna from 1828- 1845, piano makers would customarily have as many as 5 - 7 pedals on a piano. These pedals activated bells, drums, snare effects and muffled effects, as well as the usual damper lifting and keyboard moving actions. In England, piano makers limited themselves for the most part to only 2 or 3 pedals. These differences were largely dictated by the peculiar nature of the action designs for the pianos from these different areas of Europe.

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

What type of instrument was played in Jamestown?

I assume that you mean the Jamestown Settlement of 1607. Any number of period instruments could have been played there, but the colonists certainly would not have taken large instruments on the long, arduous sea voyage. More likely small instruments, such as violins, lutes and small wind instruments were played. A trumpet mouthpiece and part of a flute (recorder type) was found during one of the archeological digs. However, the trumpet of the time was not like today's trumpet. It had no valves, and was not always used for music. In such a setting it was more likely used as bugles were used in the military - a signaling device.
