A question for keyboardists?


Question Posted Sunday June 20 2010, 12:55 am

I just got a keyboard. Well, I can't read sheet music but I do understand what keys are what letter and sharp and flat. Which is a pretty good start, I think.

Anyways, my knowledge is new to the keyboards, obviously, and I am learning songs like Kids by MGMT and Happy Birthday. And I plan on learning Clocks by Coldplay and many other songs.

But I was wondering once I perfect all these songs I plan on learning will I be good at keyboards? Like, eventually, will I be able to make up anything and make it sound good or will my skill only be limited to the songs I did practice over and over.

Will it come easier? Sorry if this is a confusing question. If you are a keyboardist how long did it take you to perfect it? Any tips? Thank you.

The thing about a keyboard is that it's really easy. It's layed out in a way that makes sense and is easy to play by ear. For me, it came pretty naturally. I just play by ear, although I can read sheet music. Playing music is good, but if you want to play your own stuff, that's really good practice too :) Do some warmups each time before you begin playing your songs (scales and such) so that over time you can eventually know what each note sounds like without having to play it...that's how you learn to play by ear :)remember, practice makes perfect!
