Q&A for How to Play the Keyboard

Consider taking keyboard lessons if you want to progress past the basics. You can teach yourself basic theory, chords, and harmonics by watching YouTube videos and online tutorials. However, if you want to get better technically, it's a good idea to get a music teacher.

Of course, but you have to be motivated and have discipline. Using apps for learning helps, as well as spending at least 1 hour on practice daily.

Think of a song in your head, then listen to the notes that play when you touch a key on the keyboard. Try to match the sounds you hear with the notes in your head to play a song.

Curve your fingers. To achieve this, you might want to let your hands dangle from your sides, limp. The curved posture should be the one you want, because flat fingers will greatly slow down the process of being able to play.

It's not mandatory to use both hands, but for most sheet music, you have to play with two hands. Some sheet music only requires you to play with one hand.

Try playing one hand at a time. For example, try perfecting your right hand, then move on to your left hand, then try playing both at once.

You have to be familiar with your keyboard and improve on the keys as you practice. Then you work on the speed as you play on the same song multiple times. You then build confidence in yourself.

The default voice of most keyboards is usually a grand piano sound. To change the voices, type any number on the keypad corresponding to each voice (which are listed in categories). For example, sounds 043-061 could be brass instrument sounds, 062-075 could be woodwind instrument sounds, etc.

Avoid anything that requires octaves for starters. If you're not an adult yet, your hands should get larger eventually. In the meantime, practice gentle stretches.

All you have to do is to spend some time listening to your type of love song and think about how you can form the lyrics which goes with the tune of your instrument. This can help enhance your emotional skills in your type of preferred love song. Then you can slowly upgrade and go for the higher levels of beauty in the music of the songs. Of course, you yourself can make beautiful alterations in the future.

Well, that is hard. You need to be an expert at the song, then you won't even notice you're playing. You can only focus on singing or only focus on playing piano.

Tap your feet or count in your head. If you have an electric keyboard, use the metronome. If you really have trouble, find a good piano or keyboard teacher.

You could get one or more beginner's piano books. You could find tutorials online, too.

Get used to the keyboard and get a feel of where each note is. Then, practice the song from right hand, to left, then both. After that you should try to memorize. After memorizing and knowing where the notes are, you won't have to constantly move your head up or down to find the notes, and you won't have to always be staring at your hands and forgetting the notes.

Most songs can be played with 76 keys, my own keyboard has 76 keys and I play tons of different songs on it. Hope this helps

You should get a book that has theory all over it, so then you would know more about the keyboard.
