Piano/Keyboard Lessons
The piano is widely used in Western music for solo performance, ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment. It is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the most familiar musical instruments. Electronic keyboards have made the price of owning and caring for a piano less of an issue in starting lessons.
Piano is an ideal instrument to start learning music as it incorporates the three main elements of music - rhythm, harmony and melody - in one instrument. This requires both hands to independently maneuver the keys. While the right hand may be playing a lilting melody, the left hand may be required to keep a slow steady beat. Not only do the hands work independent of each other, but so to do the fingers. The fingers on each hand must grab for the lower white keys, or the upper black keys to produce the proper harmony. Piano lessons can start as early as five years old.
