As September is National Piano Month, here are 5 ways you can celebrate this incredible instrument!
Lean how to play the piano!
It’s never too late to start learning piano. You can celebrate as a complete beginner by booking or taking your first piano lesson in September. If you want to play to develop a new skill, find a new hobby, or even because you want to play songs you have always loved, then now is a great time to start, whether that be booking yourself a lesson or teaching yourself the basics using online guides.
This time next year, you could be an incredible pianist!
2. Learn about the history of the piano.
To honour this instrument during National Piano Month you could take the time to familiarize yourself with its history. This fascinating instrument has been around for a long time and can be traced back to its ancestor – the monochord!
3. Treat yourself to top of the range piano accessories.
You may own or aspire to own a top of the range piano for your home; however, it can be said that your level of playing can be aided by the help of your equipment. If you desire to have the very best instrument available to you then you should also aspire to have the very best accessories to accompany your piano.
A music stand light is one of the essential accessories you should own as a musician. That being said, a light which does not provide the correct colour temperature or level of brightness can be potentially damaging for your eyes, and in turn your performance.
The RATstands Trio4 Piano Light has been designed specifically for pianists and offers the musician full control over the colour temperature and brightness of the LEDs. A fully flexible gooseneck allows the pianist to position the lamp to their requirement and internal spill guards provide perfect light direction and ensure there is no light spillage on the musician. A battery powered option is available which will illuminate your playing time for hours on end.
4. Perform a concert for your family and friends.
We believe that music is meant to be shared so this is a great opportunity to show off your new or existing skills by performing for your family and friends.
If you want to challenge yourself even more, you could consider busking or even uploading a performance video online to share with the world!
5. Explore a new genre.
The piano can handle practically all genres of music which is one of the most incredible things about it! Try to push yourself out of your comfort zone this month and try something entirely new! This could be exploring more contemporary music such as your current chart favourite, or even try some Debussy or Ravel if that’s not your usual style.
For those of you who are beginners try to tackle some of the classical songs which are perfect for new starters!
