Hello ladies and gents, I would like to introduce you to my blog where I post weekly videos about piano, mostly because I have always wanted to put down the sticks and learn a different instrument. That instrument being the piano! Before I get into this I would like to hit ya with my musical background. When I was two years old I got my first drumkit and just started banging on it. My passion for drums lead me to joining the band in middle school as a percussionist. Being in band definitely taught me a lot about music and now I want to expand my instrument arsenal and learn the piano! WHY PIANO?If you have ever listened to any sort of music ever you would know that the music you listen to involves notes. The piano is the most concrete part about music, its an essential for any sort of composing, and is truly a beautiful instrument. In modern music all the digital music we hear is made through music production programs with an extension attached to a keyboard enabling producers and artists to make melody's, chords, and songs. That's one big reason for me trying to learn piano, I want to compose music with melody's and my knowledge of drums. WHY NOW?I think with this project I will encourage me towards actually making progression on piano. I also feel like this will help me in my last two years of high school when I still have the ability to go to these middle schools and teach the percussion sections a thing or two before I go off to college. HOW WILL THIS HAPPEN?During the span of twelve weeks I will try to post videos weekly of tunes I learned that week. When I post a new video I will try to make the songs progressively harder each time, so it becomes more of a challenge. All of this will be done at home with my Yamaha keyboard and phone for recording. At the end of this project I would hope to be at least decent at piano and go take the knowledge I learned about music during this timeframe and teach the percussionists at the middle schools at the end of both semesters. CLOSING REMARKSI hope you find something interesting out of me learning how to play piano and I hope you stay tuned!
