Research and keyboard technique




Research and keyboard technique

what i have been learning is the song "Skyfall" by Adelle



and i have been practicing my 5 finger exercise aswell but the really difficult challenge i find is being able to play with two hands and also getting into them with each over but i am sure if i keep trying i will come out with what i want.

A technique i have come up with is to practise with my right hand first then join my left hand in and in sync with my right.

My target is to learn the song for next week and to be able to play fluently and freely.

i researched the following for major and minor chords and also the five finger exercise.


The way in remembering for me is to remember the keys in order and a number sequence such as 1,5,8 which means whatever your key  starts at at 1 you count to 3 including black and white notes then carry out through to 8 an example would be from above however this is only for the major chords.

For the minor chords it slightly changes the formula as i find it  changes from 5 to 4 which means the formula is  now 1,4,8 for the minor chords.

i am learning the hanon exercise to help me progress in my keyboard techniques.

the hanon piano exercise have been made to help you progress in your music techniques and your finger techniques.
this exercise will help you learn the song better and also make you more aware of chords and also more familiar.
for example this video is an hanon exercise and will teach you how to learn your finger exercises.
the video explans how your finger will skip a note and will go back to the note that you skip and will  show you how to know your fingers and understand the notes.
