I went to the most exciting party the other night. I didn’t plan to, but one thing just kind of led to another, the way things usually do. It all started when I was sitting at home, watching TV. My two friends came bursting in unexpectedly, and told me I was going with them. I had not choice but to comply.
Next thing I know, we all crammed in my friends pick up truck, driving through these old fields that I think used to be corn fields, but I can’t be sure. We drove for what seemed like a couple of hours, but when I checked my watch, it had only been about thirty minutes when we finally arrived.
Finally we pulled up to what looked like an abandoned furniture store. It was in a kind of industrial area, that wasn’t near any houses. The outside seemed dark, and a little bit spooky, to tell you the truth. When we walked inside I was completely amazed.
The inside was much bigger than it appeared from the outside. There were these really funky purple curtains hanging from the ceiling, and these really weird psychedelic paintings all over the walls. I thought we had gone through some time warp back to the sixties. Even the people there were dressed like they came straight from a Grateful Dead concert.
Then, all of a sudden, this band appeared out of nowhere. They appeared on this stage, that had a small amount of people mingling around the front. My friends and I pushed our way up to the front, and were lucky enough to see the lead guitar player, who was playing this really wicked acoustic guitar. He was the best guitar player I’d ever heard, either live or recorded.
After about two hours of just pure jamming, the band thanked everybody and left. But not before announcing that their very first CD was going on sale in about two weeks. The entire concert was free, as they were completely happy that they had just signed their first recording contract. After that, my friends took me back home. It was an incredible night.

When it comes to taking piano lessons and piano teachers, there are many common misconceptions that may hinder one from going through with their plans. Usually, these ideas come from not knowing much on the subject or lack of knowledge about what it involves. Unfortunately, this can cause negativity when a student first goes into taking lessons, thus making it more difficult for the teacher.
In certain stages, it is not wrong for one to have expectations about taking lessons, but with playing piano being something that doesn’t happen overnight, there has to be a dose of reality. Being patient while progress is being made will help one not to walk away from lessons too soon and not realize their full abilities to be an accomplished pianist.
Before making the final decision to take lessons, parents much evaluate the schedule of a student to make sure they will be able to invest the time necessary for lessons and practice at home. If one is too involved in too many activities, time and money will both be wasted. It can also be frustrating when attempting to juggle so many tasks, only to find that something will have to be dropped just to get through another week.
Just because one may not be born with a natural talent to play the piano, doesn’t mean they will never play. It is a skill and can be developed and learned over time and although not as flowing as a more experienced pianist, one can still play well within their level of ability. Take piano or even drum lessons to improve your musical talent.
Parents may think that their child should be playing like a professional after taking lessons for only 6 months, which is just another misconception. Learning how to play in a day just isn’t the right approach to take and can end up being more harmful to have that expectation. It takes time to master the skill and patience is very important during this process. In fact, hiring a singing coach may help your child blossom into a talented young musician.
Students that have entirely too many activities on their plates will simply not do well with the added pressure of taking lessons. Some think they should be able to take on a huge number of responsibilities, but can also decide from day to day what they will deem being the most important. If they cannot commit fully to attending lessons and adhering to the requirements of taking, they should not take at all, or perhaps wait until their schedule is freed up a bit.
When practicing for lessons, the common mistake of practicing right as a student is on their way out the door for a lesson is what also sets themselves up for failure. Playing the piano is a skill that must be refined and developed on a regular basis. One simply can not do this and learn or retain what they have learned. Choosing three or four days per week to polish up on playing will certainly be of great help to a student.
The excuse has been heard many times that one feels they are too old or perhaps too young to take lessons. Again, this is just another misconception. Most children, at a very early age, can benefit from starting early on. Depending upon their physical and mental development, a parent should be able to measure abilities to determine whether or not their child is ready to focus and have the needed motivation to get started. As far as the older student is concerned, one can and will learn at any age, so long as they are committed and willing to do so.
Removing all fears and untruths in regard to taking piano lessons will help students and parents get the most out of their efforts. With the proper positive attitude, anyone, of any age can reach their goals and take up this skill. In addition, drive, want-to and commitment are other necessary traits that will determine the success of a student.
Taking piano lessons will increase your appreciation for the fine arts and also refine your understanding of the music culture. As the most respected School of Music in North America, we offer singing, piano, or music lessons at our two GTA locations. The first lesson is free!

You have to be acquainted with the name, piano. Piano is a musical instrument, played by way of a keyboard. In spite of being non cartable and the high-priced one, piano is the most vital musical instrument in western music for solo performances, chamber music, composing and rehearsals. The cause behind it is the versatility and omnipresence which has made piano one of the most familiar music instruments.
Learning the best way to read piano notes involves one or two different concepts and needs much practice. Reading piano sheet music comprises understanding the time and key signature, both bass and treble clefs, and being able to read the particular notes. In this article, I’m going to teach you a fast and easy memorization trick to read piano notes.
There are 2 clefs in piano sheet music. The notes in the lines and spaces read differently for each clef. These notes start at A, continue down the alphabet to G, and then repeat. For instance, if you start on C, the following white key would be D, followed by E. Since this pattern repeats, A will come after G. Reading the piano notes from actually sheet music is a little trickier. The best way to go about this is to make acronyms as a memorization strategy.
The treble clef is mostly played with the right hand. The lines on the sheet music represent the notes of E-G-B-D-F. I have always recalled this with the acronym every Good Boy Does Fine. The spaces on the treble clef represent F-A-C-E. I doubt anyone has used anything aside from “FACE” to memorize this one.
The bass clef is played with the left hand. This clef also includes some fun-filled acronyms to remember the piano notes. The lines stand for G-B-D-F-A. An easy announcing for that is “Great huge Dogs Fight Animals.” The spaces of the bass clef are A-C-E-G, or as I like to say, “All Cows Eat Grass.”
If you do not wish to use these acronyms, you can create your own that you’ll remember best. Don’t underestimate this tactic ; it is really an immense help when trying to discover how to read piano notes. With some practice and experience, you’ll eventually be in a position to read music from the page with no need to look back to the memorization trick.
