"Music from scratch!" The
Musicarta Easy Piano Style
will have you
Making music in minutes!
The simplest of keyboard textures can build into a technique anyone can use to 'just sit down and play'!
Here are the Modules One and Two performances - the first two 'Pairs of Chords'. You could probably play these straight away!
Now browse these sample contents pages to get an idea of what the Musicarta Easy Piano Style can do for you.
Introducing the Musicarta Easy Piano Style
 |
If you want to "just sit down and play the piano", what do you do? What do you need to know?
The guitar pupil definitely has the edge – anybody can see the logic of the guitar fret-board diagram on the left, and strumming a guitar comes quite naturally. The result is that the student guitar player can be making music in minutes. |
The Musicarta Easy Piano Style home-study download aims to make it just as easy for the keyboard player to do the same thing!
A hand position and a rhythmic texture
 |
|
Then, for your keyboard version of the guitarist’s strumming, you rock your left hand, playing bottom-middle-top-middle notes over and over.
(To match up with the music, your thumb will need to be on ‘middle C’ on your keyboard.)
But you’ll notice straight away that the sound is rather ‘bald’ – it’s lacking the sweet chord tone – ‘the third’ – which right hand will play.
 |
This illustration shows the right hand adding third. Notice the counting on the keyboard illustration, making sure you find exactly the right note – the third is different in major and minor chords. |
The music and sound file below show how quickly you can develop this hand position – with a few next-door right hand notes and a bit of rhythmic variety – into a pleasant keyboard study.
Here’s a video of the performance.
You can follow the music even if you’re a
non-reader by watching the virtual keyboard portion of the video (the top half
of the screen).
Now watch this video. It’s a performance of your Musicarta Easy Piano Style first workbook module study – the ‘First Pair of Chords’.
Perhaps you can see already that the whole piece is made from the same hand position and keyboard texture, but in two places – the C and D minor chords.
The second module builds on your abilities using a similar texture on a second pair of chords. Here are the hand positions it uses.
