You have long dreamed of learning to play the piano and even got acquainted with musical notation, but for some reason your hands do not want to obey you? Some experienced music teachers call this phenomenon "hook hands" - this is when the fingers get confused, and it is not possible to make out even the simplest melody. In order to avoid such confusion, you need to learn the numbering of fingers for playing the piano and try to choose among the notes those in which the fingers are numbered. As a rule, these are children's notes, for students in grades 1-4.

After getting the fingers sorted out, you need to work out the right fit in order to play the piano beautifully and aesthetically. There are about 9 octaves on the keyboard of a standard acoustic instrument, so the seating chair is always placed in the center opposite the first octave.

You can also navigate by the position of the pedals - the setting of the chair should be such that you press themwas comfortable.

With the correct position of the seat behind the instrument, the musician will evenly cover the entire keyboard range of the piano.

Further, in order to learn how to play the piano beautifully, it is important to develop the correct hand position. It is worth noting that in playing this instrument, not only the hand is involved, but the entire arm, starting from the shoulder.

To make it clearer to beginner musicians how it should look, they should imagine that droplets of water flow down their arms, starting from the shoulder joint and ending with the fingers. It turns out that the hands should acquire a soft, falling position.

The main feature of playing the piano is that both hands perform the same actions.

This aspect makes playing the instrument easier (for example, on the violin, one hand plucks the strings and the other moves the bow, learning how to work this way is a little more difficult).

And after a person learns to play the piano, he simply will not notice this feature, but at first it is worth paying attention to. After all, it is important to put your hands on the keyboard and raise them at the same time, beautifully and easily.

With the help of video lessons, learning to play the piano will be much easier. In such instructions, professionals always describe in detail each of their actions, which allows you to remember all the positions during the game faster and better.

And you should not "run ahead of the engine", trying to immediately make outcomplex classics. There are always many difficult moments in them, which, with undeveloped hand motor skills, are simply unrealistic.

You need to start with scales and simple exercises that are printed in children's music books. With their help, everyone can learn to play the piano, remember the position of all fingers and the location of the keys on the keyboard of the instrument. And after the fluency of the fingers appears, and at the same time the melody will sound not just like a set of sounds, but express some kind of complete motive, you can proceed to the analysis of classical works. The main thing is to choose simple melodies in which there are no passages and notes of too short durations.
