Saturday, April 14, 2007

Classical music is the foundation for learning piano; Albeniz, Bach, Beethoven, Bellini, Bizet, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, Dvorak, Handel, Haydn, Massenet, Mozart, Paganini, Ravel, Rossini, Schubert, Schumann, Stravinsky, Tschaikovsky, Verdi, and Wagner are just a few of the classical composers that you will find.

Finding modern melodies online may not be an easy task due to copyrights, even though pop and modern sheet music is available at affordable prices through the many online music stores and repositories.

Where to practice is another point covered by the Internet, browser around your community to find social centers with facilities to play a real piano for those people who rehearse at home using a virtual or electronic keyword.

Software that facilitate your piano learning has been discussed in previous weeks, but you should know that there are also notation software that allow you to put into practice what you have learned about reading and writing a piece of music.

At these places, members are glad to help each other, not only to find musical resources, but also sharing their expertise and criticism if you upload samples of your piano progress.
