Good, no questions. So I'm not making you confused. lol :-)
Ummm, next thing. Oh, half steps and whole steps. I don't think I did this yet. A half step is going from one key to the very next one. For example, from B to C is a half step. From E to F is a half step. From F to F sharp (sharps are the notes half step above a note) is a half step. From B to B flat (flats are the notes half step below a note) is a half step. Btw, F sharp is the most common sharp and B flat is the most common flat. This make sense?
Thanks! I try. :-)
Okay, for the left hand, you start with finger 5 (your baby finger) and when you get to finger 1, finger 3 goes over to play the next note and keep going as long as you want. To go down, you start with finger 1 and when you get to finger 3, your thumb crosses under all your fingers and then you keep going until you reach finger 4. Then your thumb crosses under again and continue in the pattern of finger 3 then finger 4 until you want to stop. That make sense?
Once you have both hands, you can play them together and play a C major scale.
Pretty much all the scales are played like this with the exception of F major. Let me know if you have questions.
Do you know the numbers that go with your fingers? If not, on your right hand, your thumb is one. Then your pointing finger is two, and so on till five. It's the same for your left hand. Your thumb is one, your pointing finger is two, and so on.
Then you can move on to key signatures. C major has no sharps or flats. You play from one C up to the next C as many octaves (a span of eight notes) as you want and then back down. That is a C major scale. (I'll get to minors later.) When you play the scale, you start with your thumb on your right hand playing C. When you get to finger three (your middle finger which should play E) cross your thumb under your hand so your thumb can play F and then keep going till you get to finger four (ring finger) and cross your thumb under again. Your thumb should play C again and keep going till you've gone past two Cs and are up to the third C. Your little finger will play this C. That's a two octave scale. (I'll get to the left hand later too.) Does this make sense? I know that's a lot.
Okay, sharps and flats. Sharps are to the right of the keys. Flats are to the left of keys. For E, F is E sharp. For C, B is C flat. Other than that, the key to the right of a note is a sharp and the key to the right is a flat. Make sense?
Well, here's a first lesson. The note right in the middle of all the other keys is middle C. (It's not a black key. Those are sharps and flats.) Above that it goes, D, E, F, G, A, B, and back to C. Sharps are to the right of a key and flats are to the left of a key.
Let me know if that makes sense. What kind of piano do you have? A grand or upright? Please don't practice on a keyboard. That has a totally different feeling then a piano.
i feel low, spiritually, psycologicaly....things are not goin my way...but i have faith that God will work something out for me. great to hear that you enjoyed the camp.
