I am playing piano

Hello every members !

Following the helf of my father. He recored my time of playing piano. There are just 2 songs named Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata. Both was written by the hands of Ludwig van Beethoven, a famous composer.

I have a lot of mistake when I play them. But I hope that you tell the truth of my mistake. If you are a teacher of piano, can you teach me how to play well ?

I haven't a degitel piano, so I have to play on S900.

The best way to learn to play well is to practice, practice, practice and practice some more. When you are done practicing, practice some more.

There isn't a book or method that is a substitute for practicing - it's through our own learning experiences that we become good at what we do today.

When I was your age, I was practicing at least 3 hours every day ... seven days a week ... for 6 years. My piano teacher gave me suggestions, but it was me, and me alone, who improved myself over the years. It may seem like a really long road to success, but every effort you apply for yourself now will be rewarded to you ten fold in future years. Never say quit .. keep going and you will be pleased with the results.

Very Very well done for not having a teacher..... Moonlight Sonata has a tempo of 45-54 beat/quarter note... you are about right.......The big problem with the keyboard you are using is I believe it is not "touch sensitive" meaning the the strength you apply to the key determines the loudness of the note. This should be your next step to have a keyboard that has this feature. This enables you to have expression and strengthen your fingers. Your parents can find some good used ones on like:ebay,Amazon.com etc.... and older one that is very good ( as I have one) is the Casio Privia px-100. I bought it in 2003 and is still great . It is 88 keys and touch sensitive.. so you feel like you are playing a regular piano. Hummmmm in "Fur Elise" kinda sounds like you DO HAVE a touch sensitive keyboard?????

Fur Elise.. temp is generally accepted at 140 per eight note... so need to pick up some speed in general...Measure 45 through 55 is a little rough and needs some co-ordination.... would suggest play slowly getting both hands exactly together and then pick up your speed.. ( difficult section of this piece). Measure 82 through 97. keep those 16th notes even and staccato in the left hand. at measure 100 be sure and keep that triplet arpeggio even ( usually apply a slight accent to the beginning note of each triplet formation. I find you are doing a good job so far with this piece.

I would be happy to help you as much as I can by email and this forum as I am sure others will also help you. Good luck with your studies and as Lars says" practice, practice,practice ". You can contact me through private message if you like. Take Care, Bill

Thanks all of your suggess. Hmmm, maybe I can't understand all of your says because some of the words I don't know mean. No, it's not "some", it's "much". But I also can know the main-mean. Today, I have just bought a piano, It's yamaha YDP S-30. But the keys, piano-keys are too heavy and like a grand-keys, my father said to me. I have to learn from the begining. How poor !

And I will do the following suggess of yours. I will practise, practise and practise.

Bluestar: bạn chỉ cần phải tìm hiểu sự liên lạc và tăng cường bàn tay và ngón tay của bạn với các bài tập .. Bạn đã học được các ghi chú và các vị trí để chơi .. Nó sẽ đến với ít thời gian và bàn tay đau ít đau và forarms ... Thực hành sẽ giải quyết vấn đề đó quá. Vui mà bạn nhận được liên lạc thường xuyên nhạy cảm bàn phím ... Thực hành squeesing một quả bóng tập thể dục hoặc quả bóng tennis sẽ giúp quá. Mong muốn được nghe nhiều nhạc của bạn ..... Tôi pacticed đêm nay khoảng 4 giờ quá .....

for my english friends:
Bluestar: you only have to learn the touch and strengthen your hands and fingers with exercises.. You have learned the notes and positions for playing.. It will come with little time and little sore aching hands and forarms... Practice will solve that problem too. Glad you got a regular touch sensitive keyboard... Practice squeesing an exercise ball or tennis ball will help too. Look forward to hearing more of your music.....I pacticed tonight about 4 hours too.....

I am playing piano

I practiced piano like 2 hours a day for a music competition. I really liked my piece and ...me and I totally screwed up, playing at about 10% of my full capability. I... my chances.

You are having problems with the fundamental pulse in Für Elise - this needs to be worked on. You need a teacher. Also, I would find it exceedingly difficult to achieve an acceptable dynamic range in Beethoven on an electronic piano.
