Sheet Music Piano Duets

Learn To Play The Right Way   by Stewart Wrighter

Along with the piano, the bench is a very important piece to playing the piano. Piano is meant to be calm and relaxing, so there is certain etiquette to it. Imagine someone playing the piano while standing up. Now imagine someone playing a piano sitting at a bench. Which mental picture looks right? Your answer will probably be the one where the person is sitting down because the piano keys are at a lower level. It definitely looks more elegant to have someone sitting at a duet piano bench with another player or alone at an artist piano bench.

Sitting at a bench with good posture is not the only thing that is important. Having good posture helps you play by keeping you more focused on what you are doing instead of being comfortable and slouching, and it also looks better than seeing someone slouched over on their bench. When you play, you have to realize that people are watching you and only you. When you are in a band or orchestra, the audience has more people to look at and may not recognize certain flaws. With playing the piano, it is easier to have your flaws noticed. When playing at a recital, remember to sit up straight, keep a good rhythm, and try to look confident in what you are doing. Even if you mess up, the audience will not notice if you keep going and act like nothing went wrong.

Throughout your lessons, you may have heard your teacher or instructor talking to you about your hand positions. There is a certain way to play and with everyone watching just you, you do not want to look sloppy. You want a fluid movement with your hands and this means that you will need a lot of practice determining what keys to hit with which fingers. Playing the piano can be related to typing on a computer keyboard. Anyone who has ever taken a keyboarding class knows that you have to move your fingers but keep them in the same general area. If you do not do this, you cannot type as fast and you have to look around to find what key to press next. Knowing where your fingers need to go and creating a fluid motion can help you produce less choppy music.

Another problem that many people have when they begin playing is not being able to read music. There are musicians, who like to listen and find the notes themselves, but these are the people who are self-taught; it takes serious dedication and a lot of skill to be able to play this way. For children or anyone learning to play the piano, it is important that they know how to read sheet music. It can be difficult for some people, but it is crucial to learning to play the right way.

Anyone can play any instrument if they learn how to read music or listen to the notes. It takes some practice, but there are tricks that seem fussy such as keeping good posture, but it looks better to the audience and can even help the pianist.
