i want to play clarinet,flute,piano,violin/electric vilolin/accoustic guitar/electric guitar,and bass guitar i already play clarinet and im learning flute i just want to know if that you can the play the piano it's easy for you to play other instrumenst!.!.!.because i want to play piano and get better at the clarinet and play the flute well ^^Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Piano is a good instrument to start with because many of the things you learn apply to all the other instruments!. You learn more theory by playing chords on piano (and guitar) than by playing an instrument that only plays a single note at a time!. Rhythm, note reading, and intervals are universal - but the notes and intervals are easy to see and understand on the piano!. I play several instruments, and am glad I started on piano!.Www@QuestionHome@Com In my opinion, great musicians have a great ear for music!. If you can play piano, you will already have an ear for proper scales, chord structures, even if you don't know the first thing about a guitar or any other instrument!. You should be able to keep good time, and read music so it should be easy!. However, you still gotta put in the leg work to train your muscle memory for other instruments!. My guitar teacher told us a story about a famous guitarist who got into an accident and lost his ability to play guitar entirely!. Within a few years, he regained his ability after starting from scratch!. I can only think it's because he had an ear for music that had been thoroughly developed!. In psychology, there are different types of intelligence and musical intelligence is one of them!. Hopefully you are musically intelligent from playing the piano and it will carry over to the other instruments!. BTW if you get 1 guitar you pretty much get 3!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I wouldn't say it makes it easy, but learning to play piano does help with reading and finger dexterity, which every instrument needs!. The only advantage the piano has, in my opinion, as your first learned instrument, is the fact that both hands are in continual use, which is a good grounding for most other instruments!. Remember every instrument has it's own particular nuances!. Some great brass players are totally baffled by strings and vice versa!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The piano is a completely different instrument from the violin or guitar!. But the violin and guitar are pretty similar!. I play the violin, and when I tried to play my cousin's guitar, I needed her help a bit to play a few chords, but most of it came naturally since it's still placing your fingers on the finger board!. And acoustic guitar and electric guitar is pretty similar; my cousin had both kinds, and I played both of them the same way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The piano is an excellent way to learn about theory!. The guitar is my favorite instrument but I enjoy the piano!.!.!. on a guitar, you have to make the notes (it's not as hard as it sounds) but on a piano, all the notes are there in front of you!.!.!. my classical guitar teacher also teaches piano and I think he was the one who told me that the more instruments you know, the better!.!.!. but the electric guitar is the best in my opinion!! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com I think so, because you have to learn so much about the basics of music and the piano visualizes chords better than any instrument, in my opinion!. The second closests is the guitar!. Once you understand how melodies and chords work it is easier to apply them to any instrument!. Your will and desire to learn will be the most influential!.Www@QuestionHome@Com who ever told u hat is stupid it has nothing to do with any instrument!. i think the only reason is the piano is probably the only instrument u can see the steps on and whats natural and flat and sharp and to know intervals!. cuz u can see every note nstead of having to produce them your self!. so technically it gives u an understanding of how music works!.Www@QuestionHome@Com yes it is true if you play the piano first it will help because the piano has the strings like gitar it has the keys kinda like a flute ect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com If you can play any instrument it makes the others easier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com not really!. But playing the piano does give your fingers more strength and agility, so maybe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
