Beginner pianosong2(twinkle twinkle)

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" piano notes:

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" is a popular English nursery rhyme. Mozart wrote Twelve Variations on the tune. It is a great song to start off playing as it only uses 6 notes on the piano - C D E F G and A.
Find the note C. It is the white key that lies to the left of 2 black keys.

                                                          To become familiar with the notes on the piano, first play C. Now play D. This is the white key on the right of C. Now play E. This is on the right of D. As you move from left to right the notes rise up through the alphabet. After G there is no H in music! The note on the right of G is A.

Say and play the 6 notes from left to right - C D E F G A

Now practice it the other way round. Say and play the 6 notes from right to left - A G F E D C.
The first and last note of the song is C. C is also the lowest note in the song, so all the other notes will be on the right of C.
 "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" notes:

C C G G A A G

F F E E D D C

G G F F E E D

G G F F E E D

C C G G A A G

F F E E D D C

There are 6 lines of music in the song. Notice which lines are identical.

This is a useful tip when you are starting off playing the piano - look for any patterns in the music before you begin.

beginner pianosong3(jingle bells)

Jingle Bells on piano:

Jingle Bells was written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857, so it's an old song— but still very popular! He called it "One Horse Open Sleigh". Even though it has become a popular Christmas song, it was originally written and sung for Thanksgiving! This animated video is fun to watch—it even shows the "lean and lank" horse splat falling down. Sing along!

                     ''Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.'' 

 Hello..everyone..MUSIC..has become one of the important necessity in today's world.
When one listens to music, usually the music is played in the background while we do tasks such as work or household chores. The means we aren't actively listening to the music. Music can be a great, healing relaxer to help us escape from the various stresses of life these days.so guys why can't we enjoy the same feeling ,infact double by composing it.
                                               lets get started off with basic concepts that one  should know to enjoy the real taste of piano(keyboard).
                             The piano is an instrument that offers the musician eighty-eight musical pitches organized in ascending order of pitch. The lowest note is at the far left of the instrument, the highest note on the far right. These 88 pitches, generally speaking, are all the ones our human ears can recognize as musical sounds. Pitches lower than the bottom note of a piano: the low 'A', are so low as to sound like a rumble; any note above the highest note on a piano. the high C, can be heard only by plucky dogs. The piano organizes these pitches in a seemingly arbitrary but ultimately logical system. When these notes are combined in various rhythmic and harmonic patterns they produce music as diverse as that of Mozart, Elton John and Ray Charles. Let's look at the layout a bit. Here is a small (17-key) section of a standard 88-key piano keyboard
                                

The keys on a keyboard are a half-step apart. What is a half step? First of all, it's just a word. Some music people call a half-step a semi-tone (as opposed to a whole tone). No matter what we call it, it is the smallest DIFFERENCE in pitch between two notes that we can hear. The distance between one key and the next adjacent key is a half-step. The shark theme in "Jaws" consists of two notes a half-step apart, repeated over and over. If you don't remember how this sounds, rent "Jaws." When the shark shows up you hear these two notes. You'll never forget it! Here are some facts about the keys on a keyboard that may seem obvious but research has shown that not everyone knows these facts:
  1. There are two styles of keys: black and white.
  2. The black keys are smaller than the white keys, and are grouped in twos and threes. Why? We'll get into that later.
  3. Despite these differences in how they look, black keys and white keys alike produce pitches (notes) that are a half-step apart.
  4. White notes are named using the first seven letters of the alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
  5. Black notes are named using the first seven letters of the alphabet PLUS either a sharp sign (#) or a flat sign (b).
  6. The sharp sign (#) indicates a pitch is raised a half-step, so a C# is just a C raised a half-step. If you look at the keyboard, this makes sense. Because each key is a half-step away from the next key, and the # sign raises a note a half-step, the black key next to the C must be a C#.
  7. The flat sign (b) lowers a note a half-step. Using this same logic, the Db key (first black key in our illustration) is a D note lowered a half-step. Since each key is a half-step different in pitch than the next note, the black key to the left of the D is a half-step LOWER, and is therefore named a Db. A real flat sign looks a bit flattened compared to a b, but I don't have that font. Sorry!

Some piano students are confused by what the "next note" means when we say the notes are a half-step apart. This means you start on a key (any key) and the VERY NEXT key, black OR white, is a half-step different in pitch.You don't just go from one white key to the next, you go to the next KEY, black OR white. The next key to the RIGHT is a half-step HIGHER. The next key to the left is a half-step LOWER.
Good. So the keys on a keyboard are a half-step apart from one another.The black keys are sort of wedged in there between the white keys, but they are keys as well, with all the rights and responsibilities of a key.
One more thing. The total number of half-steps that separate two notes is known as an interval. From C to C# is an interval of a half-step. You can add half-steps together, just like fractions in math. The interval from C to D is a whole-step. Why? Because a half-step (C to C#) plus a half-step (C# to D) is a whole step. Yup. You add half-steps together to make whole steps.
