Keyboard Lessons, what does it consist of?
Keyboard lessons – what it consists of
Keyboard lessons come in a very broad area of study. Here’s a keyboard lesson program specially designed for beginners in playing the keyboard. It points out the basics of every keyboard students should master to properly play a keyboard.
Lesson 1 – Building the Foundation.
· Preparation
· Learning the different keys
· Proper Fingering
This lesson will introduce you with the keyboard playing technique. Learning the proper posture and hands position in playing the keyboard is a very important skill, and will help the student as he progresses in learning how to play keyboard. It is advisable for the student that the fingers should remain curved and at all times should be relaxed. Finger numbers are often used as a temporary substitute for note names at the introductory lessons.
Lesson 2 – The basics in playing the keyboard.
· Note names and values
In the second lesson, proper note names will be discussed and the temporary “numbered fingers” notes will have to be forgotten. Also, the basics of treble and bass staffs will be taught. Both of them are composed of 5 lines, and with 4 spaces in between. The notes on the lines are named with the letters: E, G, B, D, and F. The spaces are labeled as F, A, C, and E. Memorizing the keyboard keys that correspond to each note is a little bit difficult to do. Practicing drills for naming each key will make it easier to remember.
Lesson 3 – Digging deeper.
· Dynamics
· Tempos
In this lesson the stylistic party of playing the keyboard will be discussed. Different symbols in reading musical notes will be taught to the student. Everything about legato, staccato, accent, crescendo, decrescendo, and other special symbols will seen on the spotlight of this topic. Another important points to be discussed in this lesson is the dynamics, which refers to the loudness or softness of the key piece to be played.
Lesson 4 – Learning the use of scales and intervals.
This topic will discuss the major and minor scales, and the intervals. Intervals are the intervals between keys on the keyboard. The range of intervals can be from the smallest, called the half step, to the largest gap called the octave. Intervals which are played to produce both pitches simultaneously are called Harmonic. On the other hand, Melodic intervals are those played one after the other.
Lesson 5 – The primary and the common chords.
Triad is the most common type of chord. On the other hand, the most basic chord in music is the major chord. The first, second, and third interval must be a major in order for a chord to be a major.
Lesson 6 – Mixing it up
- borrowed chords
These are the chords taken from the parallel major or minor key. Also introduction of modulation will be taught in this lesson, moving further from the traditional harmony towards the borrowed chords.
Modulation is a technique to add tonal variations in the piece you are playing. But these techniques will not be tackled deeply in this lesson, since it requires a more advanced knowledge in playing the keyboard.
Lesson 7 – The Species one Counterpoint.
In the final lesson for the beginner keyboard players, the rules of species one counterpoint will be discussed. Voice leading is another term for species one counterpoint. This method of playing originated in the 16th century. The method of writing and playing this counterpoint is complex.
The different kinds of motion will be discussed in this lesson. The different motion styles are as follows:
Parallel – the voices move at the same interval and in the same direction.
Similar – the same as parallel, the only difference is it should be done in different intervals
Oblique – while the other remains on the same note, the other voice moves to the next.
Contrary – voices are directed at the opposite directions.
