Value Music Before Theory: Gain a Piano Learning Excellence Experience
Posted on November 18th, 2007 at 6:00 am by Pianoman

The piano is an instrument that almost anybody can learn to play by simply playing by ear and produce some music. Achieving piano learning excellence is not something that just anybody can obtain. It starts acquiring a value for music before music theory; by planting the seed for future interest about the instrument; by recognizing the feeling and desire that awakes in one’s soul to know more. This feeling that becomes so strong and helps you, pushes you to become the best you can be, not better than others, but the best you can be.

It is said that “In music, a mistake is a mistake; the instrument is in tune or not, the notes are well played or not…. It is only by much hard work that a successful performance is possible. Music performance teaches and helps young people to conquer fear and to take risks. When the value of Music takes deep roots in a person, it will be with him/her forever.

Through study and continuous practice and love for music, students learn the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence and the concrete rewards of hard work. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with music and piano learning activities now days. Technology is much more accessible now making it possible and affordable for anybody to study music than ever before.

Music is a peaceful manner and a means to achieve self-expression. It is a universal language that geographical boundaries that cannot contain, and it is automatically understood and felt in specific ways for anybody that is around it. Music study develops skills that are necessary in the workplace. It focuses on “doing,” as opposed to observing, and teaches students how to perform, literally, anywhere in the world.

Music stretches one’s imagination and helps us achieve greater things in life, but mostly builds nice memories now and for the future. You want to enjoy a great moments for life? Learn to play the piano.

Digital Pianos - Are They Right for You?
Posted on November 10th, 2007 at 6:00 am by Pianoman

Many families are now purchasing digital pianos to learn on. And why not? They’re relatively inexpensive, take up very little space, and produce high quality grand piano sound. But there are certain drawbacks to owning one.

For example, it’s a good idea to play an acoustic instrument before trying a digital one. Why? Because no matter how well the piano sound is sampled, it will never match the pure acoustic sound and richness of a “live” piano. This factor is very important to some because they want to experience that organic sensibility only a true acoustic can give them.

When a key is struck on an acoustic instrument, it produces overtones that reverberate around the room creating a sound that no digital instrument can accurately capture. I don’t know why this is but I’ve played on the best digital pianos and have never experienced that “woody” feel an acoustic gives out.

If this doesn’t concern you, then you’ve passed the litmus test for owing a digital piano because while they can’t give you the exact feel of an acoustic, they come pretty darn close to giving you the deep, rich, full sound of a grand piano! For most people, this is all that matters and I for one agree!

Today’s’ digital pianos are so good that most listeners can not tell the difference between a “live” piano and a digital one. Add to that the fact that they are the most affordable of the kinds of pianos you can buy and you’ve got an instrument that’s hard to beat.

It really all depends on what your needs are. Do you need to experience a cacophony of overtones? If so, don’t go digital, But if you want that full grand piano sound without paying $50,000 for it, digital is the way to go!
