Piano.

(Week 15)

Hi guys! I will be covering issues regarding piano today! Basically piano is one of the many instruments to make music. Personally, I believe the best instrument is none other than the piano because a keyboard melody is always soothing to the ears. Take a look at my covers as I explain more on them below! :D

This is a rather normal and simple piece. It does not involve any musical terms except the Italian musical term, Allegro, which is an indication to play in a quick and lively tempo.




This piece of music is in a sequence of musical notes that are played in an ascending and descending order. This is widely known as Scales, it usually consist of both ascending and descending portion.

Introducing today, ThePianoGuys. The first video is Christina Perri's A thousand Years cover played using the piano and cello. The second video is a cover for What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction. This gets very interesting because they have basically used only the Grand Piano as a keyboard and drum accompanied with various syncopations and bassline elements.
