Is it true that the piano is the most complete instrument that exists?
Well…yes. Without a shadow of a doubt.
With the piano you can be autonomous: you can play the melody, you can “accompany yourself”, you can give a reference, a base, the notorious “la” to singers, violins, trumpets…
The piano, within the orchestra, is generally only one. This is an indication of its majesty, as an instrument, even within a vast assembly of all sorts of instruments: percussion, wind, string…
With the piano, then, you can decide to play alone, or in company.
Playing the piano will give you a certain prominent position, a popularity, if you wish, if you work hard, if you study music seriously and if you love situations of extreme sociality.
If, on the contrary, you are shy, the piano, just for its completeness, will allow you to play and perform music for yourself, you play alone or with four hands, with another pianist only. Among pianists you understand!
Becoming a pianist, in short, will be combined differently depending on the temperament, the objectives, the path of life and relationships of each one.
Being a musician, of course, does not necessarily correspond to the fact of playing the piano. But let’s say, in general, that here with us it is frequent that the first encounter with music takes place through the piano. In the following years, then, we gradually discover other instruments, towards which, more freely than at the beginning, we venture, with sure momentum and passion.
Learning to play the piano is not easy. Even before you start, it is essential to be motivated and put your heart into it.
From music theory to piano lessons for beginners, to the advanced level where the pianist knows how to compose his own music, the learning process can take a long time.
To learn how to play the piano, you need to train regularly and work diligently to overcome what you already know how to do.
Don’t get discouraged, don’t burn the stages.
First, you have to learn how to read a piano score and then music theory. So, you have to acquire dexterity and work on the coordination of both hands.
Being at ease with the piano to read a score as you read a book, play and then improvise, sing playing and then compose, all this can happen after a few years of practice.
