This is how futuristic pianos will look like in the future, not bad at all it is it !!!

Cool Piano Violin house, very unique. Love It!

It has occurred to me that in the same way that we all have moral values, we pianist, also have or should have some type of piano values to which guide ourselves. Throughout the years, instead of calling it piano values, it has been called the method of the pianist. This is referring as to what method you’re tutor used or school to teach you piano.

I personally would like to change this mall phrase and use it to my own idea. It much like a religion doctrine, but instead a piano value. It even sounds nice.

I personally have a few piano values to which I guide myself. For example, before playing the piano,I have the value or costum to clean up anything that is not organized inside my room or around me. I just can not and will not be able to concentrate unless I know that everything else is organized.

In a part this is true, because you would not want to keep on adding things in, if the things that are inside are disorganized. This is a bit theoretical and might sound silly, but it actually does work and will help anyone out there that has little bit of trouble concentrating, while studying piano.

If you have any piano value, let me know and share !

I personally rating really depends on the persons point of view regarding a pianos value and how he/she would rate this piano. For instance, every single piano that we see, has a value to its owner and has a value to society. Depending on society, the value or rating of the piano is going to vary. That is why, I personally think that having a line drawn for a specific piano as a rating, is very hurtful for those that have not yet experimented the piano itself.

This is why I would definitely encourage anyone to go and try out any type of piano that they want to buy instead of just reading any review out there over the internet. Although these reviews help in many ways, and really are very close to the piano rating itself, it does not really suffice for a clear 100% truthful rating. This is because it really will vary from pianist to pianist, in such an extreme way, that you you’re self sometimes will be amazed on how good a piano is for you, and probably have read that the piano had a low score.

Piano rating will definitely and by all means depend on the sole need of the user, and that is why I encourage anyone to go out in search and test out personally any type of piano that fits their specific needs.

Recently I have been searching for some piano duets, and I found out that the piano clarinet combination can be fantastic if you know how to implement it and play it together with someone who has a groovy feeling.

I would someday like to be able to play three instruments including these two, because they definitely make an excellent combination as I have been able to appreciate in some YouTube videos.

Later on , I’ll be posting some videos related to these type of duets, piano and clarinet, they’re fantastic!

Its been quite some time since I saw, some old people playing together like this. The piano clarinet combination is pretty cool if you ask me. Way to go Grandma!

This is how to know the piano values.

How much is this Piano Values?

The Value of a piano really depends on how much someone is willing to pay for that piano. These piano values vary a lot, depending on the piano’s conditional state.

The piano values also depends on how much the seller and/or buyer knows. For every piano out there, there is a standard price, but when dealing with people that do not know what piano they are selling, or what piano they are buying, it varies the value way to much.

Some things that should be taken into account when wanting to know the piano values, is to note some of the most basic conditions of any piano: 1.outer part condition 2.inside condition 3. age 4. house made by.

Piano chords, is what you call a combination of two or more notes played together, these notes are called scale tones. And when played together with one another, they form a beautiful sound, if they are within the same frequency or scale tone, because the vibrations of the piano chord notes, will mix together forming a nice bond to listen to.

Nearly anyone is able to easily walk through a standard C major chord, but when things start to get complicated, only those that study their piano chord thoroughly succeed at this. Once there is a complete domination on most piano chords, you will notice some difference in playability and liberty while playing through anything on the piano, because it will feel just like another hand that you have and some 88 fingers extra.

The simplest form of a chord is called the triad chord.This piano chord is composed of 3 notes from the piano major scale. this major triad consists of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th piano tones (notes) of any major scale. The 1st is the root, the major third is the 3rd and the 5th is called the perfect fifth.

The symbols for any piano major triad that are Major, M, or Maj. Every time you see these names or symbols followed by the piano note (C, D, Eb, F#, etc.) you will know that this is  referring to any piano major triad chords.

Any time that you practice you’re piano major chords, I really recommend that you play these 1st, 3rd, and 5th fingers of you’re hand. This will make it a lot easier and will start to give you a feeling of how it feels to play a piano chord the correct way.

These are the notes on the G and F piano cleff. These are simple to memorize as long as you practice these piano notes every single day, at least reading through them once or twice a day. To easily identify a piano note, you should always try to get a point of reference and start from there.
