3-Finger Placements

Schooling yourself with the finger position on the keyboard is pretty significant. Therefore begin with your right hand. Even though you are lefty, beginning your keyboard lessons with your right hand is what you should do. You have to segregate the keys on your keyboard into two sections.


With your right hand, you will be playing the Scales(the major & minor scales). While with the left hand, you will be playing the Chords.


Ensure that your fingers are relaxed and in a neutral cup position. Practice playing the OCTAVE.


What is an OCTAVE?


OCTAVE is playing seven notes while repeating the first one. So, play-

C D E F G A B C


This is an OCTAVE.

Ensure that you practice your OCTAVE with a relaxed wrist.


4-Learn To Play By Ear

One thing that remains critically important is that you must practice playing by your ear from your initial days. Yes, it would be difficult. However, a musician must feel the music after studying the notes precisely.

You know how to play Sa Re Ga Ma Pa… by now. So, learn to play the OCTAVEs back and forth.


This will be enough for you to begin your learn-by-ear session, trust us. Before advancing with the Chords and Scales, getting these fundamentals by heart is what ensures your first class ends on a fantastic note.


5-What is Rhythm?

As a would-be musician grasping the concept of Rhythm is essential. Without Rhythm, all that is discussed here would be pointless, and you would be standing at the pavilion once again. To understand the concept of Rhythm, better have clarity on Metronome.


So Metronome is an instrument that offers audible, rhythmic ticks following an interval to let the amateur musician learn the concept of rhythms with precision. It comes in several keyboards. You can also invest in this aiding tool separately.


The best thing about playing with Metronome is that you set your rhythms according to the speed you are currently processing while playing your instrument.
