Most keyboards - grand, piano, synthesizer, organ - require two-handed performance. Each of them can be pressed simultaneously up to five or six keys in the octave range, less often nona. The part of each hand is recorded on a separate staff for ease of reading, with the left hand usually being recorded in the bass clef and the right hand in the treble clef.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention when reading piano notes that the staves are connected in pairs by a curly brace - an accolade. In each pair, the right hand is on top and the left hand is on the bottom. The logic is quite obvious: the right hand plays higher notes (on the right side of the keyboard), and the left hand plays lower ones. While analyzing the part of each hand, play the notes from the corresponding staves (after one).
Step 2
The notes on the piano are written in accordance with the scale. This is how the parts of this instrument differ from, say, guitar parts, where the entire recording is carried out one octave higher (it is written in the second octave - it is played in the first). On the keyboard, due to the volume of the range and the use of two keys at once, recording "by sound" is more convenient.
Step 3
The first octave is written on the first additional ruler from below in the treble clef and on the first additional ruler from above in the bass. The rest of the notes are recorded between the rulers and on the rulers above or below, depending on the position relative to this note. Additional reference points are the notes of G of the first octave (for the treble clef) and F minor (for the bass). They are written on the second line from the bottom and the second from the top, respectively.
Step 4
As you parse the piece, start learning each hand separately. Play at the slowest pace that makes you feel comfortable enough. If you have chosen the correct speed of performance, then you have time to read all the notes in the appropriate rhythm, taking into account the pauses and strokes, and still look a little ahead.
Step 5
Do not strive to go through the entire piece from beginning to end the first time. Break it into several parts, repeat each one several times until you memorize at least approximately with your fingers and eyes. Then move on to the next passage.
Step 6
Always look a little ahead. Stuck with your eyes on the measure that you are playing at the moment, you will not have time to prepare your hand and thoughts for the performance of the next passages and the development of the melody. A purely mechanical repetition of notes "kills" the piece and deprives the lesson of meaning. Always anticipate notes, strokes, and dynamics to feel the freedom to play.
