Hi Lakeshore Kids-
I know some of you have piano keyboards at home and like to play. Here are some fun websites that have ways to practice and learn at home!
Creative Piano Academy offers some nice basic techniques for beginners: Creative Piano Academy
This video shows you how to play the melody (tune) of a song. This website has falling colors that show you where to place your fingers on the keys. It helps if you place your iPad close to your keyboard. 5 Easy Songs to Play on the Keyboard
On this video from Pianote, you learn how to play harmony parts (open chords: basically do and sol) on the keyboard. If you want to play a harmony background while you sing a song, this is a video for you. We play harmony parts in class when we play a heart beat or an ostinato (repeated rhythm pattern) on xylophones and ukuleles.
It's fun to apply what you are learning and play with others. Here is an example of melody and harmony parts being performed together. Fish and Chips and Vinegar. The singing and recorder parts are playing the melody, the piano and ukulele are playing chords (harmony parts): the piano is a heart beat and the ukulele is playing an ostinato strumming pattern. We also sing in harmony, each of us on a different verse; can you hear it?
