In the beginning stages of learning though, it helps to have some simple indicators so you know what to play. One thing beginner pianists can do is write down the note names on the actual sheet music. Labeling the note names next to or above the note can help make the learning process faster. Instead, focus on the notes that are particularly troublesome and use the labels as a reminder of what to play. Note names can also be labeled on the piano keys themselves.
Handy little note labels like these can be put on to the keys to help you make quick decisions while playing. Equally important is labeling the finger numbers so you can work on the distance needed to travel to play a certain melody or harmony. In all types of sheet music, there is a wide range of instructive symbols that help the music sound a certain way.
Some of the symbols refer to how soft and loud a passage of notes are. Others indicate when a pianist should be silent, and that exact duration of time. Articulations help when it comes to the character of the piece, making it sound more percussive or more lyrical. Finally, there are indicators at the top of a piece of music as well as in the middle of certain sections of a piece.
Below is a list of the common symbols you will find in any piece of sheet music, and what they mean. The symbol can be found in between the treble and bass staff when it applies to both hands. If the composer intends for one hand to be soft such as the left hand, they will put the symbol under the notes in the bass staff only. Forte — When a pianist sees this symbol, they should play that section of music loudly.
The same rules apply for knowing whether one hand or both hands play at this level. Andante — For slow and lyrical pieces, the Adante tempo marking is often found. This tempo operates between 76 — BPM. A much slower tempo can be found in Largo which is at 60 BPM.
Allegro — This is a common tempo marking for most fast pace pieces. It is best described as a walking tempo which hovers around — BPM if you are measuring with a metronome. Other variations of Allegro include Allegro moderato,. Vivace — For fast and exciting pieces the Vivace tempo marking is used. This is usually a piece operating at — BPM. This tempo is commonly associated with later movements of Beethoven sonatas, Liszt water pieces, Chopin Etudes, and various piano concerto compositions.
An even faster variant of Vivaciissimo can be found in modern works. Slurs — When music is to be played with a connected sound it is considered to be legato. This is usually a bar that connects once note to another within the same measure, or even across multiple measures.
These are represented as small dots that you will find underneath or above the notes. When you see it, simply play the note as short as possible. Accents mean to add emphasis to that note so that it sticks out from the rest. This will have to be done within the overall framework of the piece. For example, if this were a lyrical Chopin Ballade, you would want to still keep the line smooth and connected, but making sure certain voices stick out.
Accents aid greatly when trying to push forward harmonic sections of music. Time Signatures — In order to understand rhythm completely, pianists will need to know what the time signature is. Time signatures are an indicator of how many beats are in each measure. When there are eighth notes being used as the foundation of the meter, then the same logic applies except there will be an eight as the bottom number.
Quarter Rest — The most basic note value you will find is a quarter note. Quarter rests operate the same way, except the pianist will operate in silence for that duration of time. Half Rest — Half rests work the same way as quarter rests, but last for double the value. The pianist will take a two beat break in the music for either hand and then resume playing.
Whole Rest — Whole rests operate a little differently. Rather than being worth four beats of time, whole rests conform to whatever the time signature indicates. Most beginner pianists have a habit of jumping straight into playing the music on the page.
This piece is part of a tetralogy cycle of four such works, dedicated to the memory of million jewish children who perished in the holocaust. To set and check the interval size, you need to know where the check note is.
Tune up for piano solo, intermediate piano sheet music. Tuning means ordering, leading to the conjecture that a tuned piano should have a minimal entropy.
Using a room humidifier during the winter and a dehumidifier during humid summers can also help. We show how to use proper tools and a basic electronic tuner to tune a single note or the whole piano. What ever way you choose, make sur e you buy the right tools.
What is tunelab piano tuner? When interval sizes are not pure, they beat at the coincidental partial. You could buy everything as a piano tuning kit or you can buy them individually.

Those lines and spaces represent notes named A-G, and the note sequence moves alphabetically up the staff. There are two main clefs with which to familiarize yourself; the first is a treble clef. The treble clef has the ornamental letter G on the far left side. The treble clef notates the higher registers of music, so if your instrument has a higher pitch, such as a flute, violin or saxophone, your sheet music is written in the treble clef.
Higher notes on a keyboard also are notated on the treble clef. We use common mnemonics to remember the note names for the lines and spaces of the treble clef. The bass clef notates the lower registers of music, so if your instrument has a lower pitch, such as a bassoon, tuba or cello, your sheet music is written in the bass clef.
Lower notes on your keyboard also are notated in the bass clef. Notes placed on the staff tell us which note letter to play on our instrument and how long to play it.
There are three parts of each note, the note head , the stem , and the flag. Every note has a note head , either filled black or open white. Where the note head sits on the staff either on a line or space determines which note you will play. Sometimes, note heads will sit above or below the five lines and four spaces of a staff.
In that case, a line known as a ledger line is drawn through the note, above the note or below the note head, to indicate the note letter to play, as in the B and C notes above. The note stem is a thin line that extends either up or down from the note head.
The line extends from the right if pointing upward or from the left if pointing downward. As a rule, any notes at or above the B line on the staff have downward pointing stems, those notes below the B line have upward pointing stems. The note flag is a curvy mark to the right of the note stem. Its purpose is to tell you how long to hold a note. Start with a closed note head with a stem.
