My neighbors just gave me a piano...

Janeway · 11-06-2004, 03:59 PM

The people across the street are moving(next door from where they live now) and asked if I wanted a piano.
Well, I said yes, and I now I have on sitting in the garage.
I already play drums, saxohphone and guitar, and I have no problem reading music.
I want to know some websites or books to get me started with it.
Thanks.

You might just want to pop in your local music store and ask around. And you should learn how to read bass clef if you don't know already.

Yeah, go and ask around in a music store. Otherwise, give http://www.8notes.com a browse, see if you find something you recognize. If you know of any simple classical pieces, http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net might have something.

You're very lucky to have got a new piano. What brand is it? Is it in good condition? When we moved here, the previous owners left us their electric organ. It's used for collecting dust.

:O i wish i had an electric organ.

I started learning piano with "Jibbidy F and A-C-E". it was written for little kids.

I advise the first thing you do is go to a local music shop and buying grade one or grade two scales. there's nothing better to get you started than the basic scales.

Huh. I dont like the piano. Dont have the fine dexterity that it takes. I stick to the drums which only take major dexterity between limbs. Why did i click on the thread? Why am i here? I....... don't know.

Man, drummers....

Man, I'm a drummer.
:P
I already like the piano more, though.

It's actually not too great.
It's an old 51-55 Wurlitzer in kind of poopy condition.
The highest keys(pardon my lack of piano know how) kind of stick, and the dampener thingy(again, I apologize) wont go back down until I pull the key up.

But, they did give me a HUGE stack of 10 years worth of sheet music and method books.
They're something like Robet Pace books, but I started into the first one and it's pretty nifty.
