I am a Pianist : Ask me Anything
Hey guys i hope everyone's doing well. I am sorry for not being able to post for sometimes due to my break.
So a little about me as a musician hehe. I started playing the keyboard(not your desktop keyboard :p ) since i was 6 and moved to piano when i was 10. I started giving Trinity london college of music exams for piano practicals and music theory and completed grade 7 for piano and grade 6 in music theory.
I'd be happy to share my knowledge if you ever wanted to know anything about music and of course meet other musicians. keep posting :)
a fun fact of the Piano : When the strings vibrate, they produce sound. On a piano, however, those vibrations are initiated by hammers hitting the strings rather than by plucking or by moving a bow across them. So, the piano also falls into the realm of percussion instruments.

@BlueRivercares wow! You can play the piano that's awsome ❤❤ not last Xmas but the one before my carers bought me a disabled people piano😁 it's a thumb piano, you can hold in your hands, and it sounds like a kind of harp sound when you flick some of the keys, it's so pretty ❤❤ and yep! I can't play a single tune😎 instruments are sooooooo hard to learn, you must be very brainy and talented ❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@BlueRivercares
❤️❤️❤️
@BlueRivercares
Whoooaaa you've been playing for so long.. You'll be amazing at it! I love the Piano Bluey, it's a beautiful beautiful instrument.. Any song when played on a piano turns into a heavenly piece of music. No matter what it is... And the fact that you have that magic to turn songs into heavenly pieces is soo awesomee😍
Say "hi" to your new fan Arroww😏(I'll head your newly formed fan's association😁)
And buddy, what are those piano pedals for? I've seen three of them underneath, but never quite understood what they're for
@CompassionateArrow lol thanks arrowey.
the piano pedals....there are three of them.
the right pedal ( my favourite one) : is used to sustain all the notes. Whatever notes you are playing at the time you press the sustain pedal will be held out and reverberate until you let up on the pedal
middle pedal : is more like muting the piano..it gives a little base sound (it uses the a piece of cloth to prevent the hammer directly hitting the strings.)
left pedal : i haven't really used it..but it's for making the sound softer.
@BlueRivercares
Oooooo... such a sophisticated instrument.. so precise about every aspect.. it's beautiful..
Thank you for clarifying Blueyy!💗
@BlueRivercares
Ohhh, that's pretty cool I've actually been wanting to learn to play the piano at my school. Was it hard to learn? What helps you memorize your pieces?
@BlueRivercares what is your favourite thing about playing the piano?
@sadcat13 one thing i like about piano is that you can give the vocal notes as well as the rhythm..using both your hands. Other instruments can do it..but i find it natural in piano :)
@BlueRivercares that's very wholesome 😊
@BlueRivercares
*** cool… I’ve always desired to learn how to play the piano. It’s quite fun when you get to try.
My son is really good and self-taught.
@PoliteOcean self-taught that sooo awesomeee :D
@BlueRivercares Woahhh I'm soo proud of youu rivvyyy! Thank you for tagging me🧡💃🏻That's a real long time to be practising..No wonder you're soo talented!
I'm more of a self taught synthesizer player, but I did learn the bare basics for 3 years in school~ I can't play chords though and hope to learn someday soon! "Virtual hugs" for anyone reading this!🧡
@StargirlTina Ohh and here's my question - What other instruments do you like or wish to learn next?
@StargirlTina that's awesome tina that you can play the synth...i have learned other instruments as well for fun like drum i learned in my school for 3 years...but i only know basic beats hehe. Also i learned the guitar for some time but it was tough..i only know 4-6 easy chords xD..and i keep using capo to transpose
@BlueRivercares Hi, Blue! Nice to meet you! I love singing. What advice would you give someone who wants to learn to make harmonies on the keyboard to accompany the melodies of their original songs, which they created acapella,when they haven't studied music theory formally? I would deeply appreciate any tips you can share. Wishing you a great day or night whenever you read this. 🎶🙏
@SakuraHikari
It's wonderful that you love singing and want to explore harmonies on the keyboard for your original songs. Even without formal music theory training, there are several things you can do to create harmonies:
Trust your ears and experiment with different harmonies by playing additional notes that sound good to you. Try singing harmonies along with your melody to see what feels natural and adds depth to the sound.

@BlueRivercares Thank you so, very, very much!!! I deeply appreciate your help and advice. I'm going to practice so. 😊🙏🎶💜 Wishing you a wonderful rest of January!!
what was the most emotional you've been while playing the piano, and why?
