EASY WAYS TO PLAY THE KEYBOARD FOR A BEGGINNER

WHAT YOU NEED TO PLAY THE KEYBOARD
Keyboard is very important to us in praising God. Apart from the fact that it makes our praising God easier, We are commanded to praise God with various instruments in psalm150 with string instruments & organ mentioned in vs 4. It is however disappointing that so many people find it difficult to play the keyboard with ease hence we will be taking some series of lessons to get us acquainted with the keyboard even if you don't know anything about the keyboard I assure you that you can be a good keyboard player just be willing to follow some simple instructions. God bless & grant you grace as we kick start this lesson in Jesus name.

(1)GET FAMILIAR WITH THE KEYBOARD:- Anything you are far from will be far from you. Look at the Keyboard,touch or feel it,hear it's sound, not having it at home is not an excuse,your church may have one,go to church early or better still after closing & feel the keyboard.
(2)TELL YOURSELF I CAN LEARN IT:-Keyboards are played by humans & not spirits you can do it if you're are determined.
(3)TOUCH OR PLAY IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE EVEN IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING.
(4) KNOW YOUR {D:R:M:F:S:L:T:D) you need it as we go deeper & it's very essential in music.

LEARN EASY WAY TO PLAY THE KEYBOARD  As the name suggests it is called KEYBOARD because it's full of different keys so you must get used to the keys & buttons but that's a gradual process. Firstly you must get use to the  ON & OFF button.
(2) KEYS ON THE KEYBOARD:- It's made up of twelve keys which are from A to G. ({1}A, {2}B, {3}C, {4}D, {5}E, {6}F, {7}G... The other 5 (five) keys that made it twelve which are called Sharps (#) eg A# or flats (b) by professionals eg Cb derived from five of these keys.
From the picture above,the first key is Key C I'll tell you how to identify the key but I must let you know that all keyboards must not necessarily start with same key ๐Ÿ— eg key C & that is why it's important we learn how to identify the keys.
๐ŸŽน Some keyboards starts with key F while others start with key D or C as the case may be which may bring us to your big question of (so how do I know what key starts any keyboard?) Very simple.
IDENTIFY ANY KEY.
From picture above,the white keys are labeled C,D,E,F,G,A,B and C', D', E'
Check the arrangement of the black keys that is the sure secret way of identifying our keys.
๐ŸŽนThe arrangement pattern of two blacks and three blacks its for a purpose
There's two black keys in front of Key C while there are three black keys in front of key F. Same pattern continues all over the keyboard.
๐ŸŽนWe're almost there but I'll give you a break to check the keyboard or piano for the arrangement pattern,a little more tip will make you identify any key even when closing your eyes. Pls don't miss next edition & sure way to do that is to like & follow our page for more educative & inspirational posts.

NB:— {'}-simply means Octave or higher note which is 8th note from the original note or key.
Pls feel free to ask your questions.
