How to play the drums?

1. Get familiar with the basic drum kit .  Each kit is different, using different kinds of drums that make up a set. There are different brands, sizes, sticks used, and different tunings among other slighter modifications that will affect the overall sound of each instrument. Still, many drum kits employ basically the same fundamental pieces. Most basic kits include: A  bass drum , which makes the low-pitched booming sound when struck by a weighted mallet operated by a foot pedal. A  snare drum , usually located to the non-dominant side of the drummer and played with the drummer's non-dominant stick. The snare is a tight, bright drum with a band of rattling metal beads under the drum head. Typically, the snare is known for its crisp "click" sound followed by the "resonating shuffle" of the beads. There are many types of  tom-tom drums , but the most common three are the Floor Tom (the deepest of the three), the Mid-Tom (the medium of the three), and the Hig...

How to play the recorder?

While recorder basics are easily grasped. true mastery is a lifetime task. Here we discuss key elements of  how to play the recorder . Then it's over to you.. Recorder playing involves breath, fingers, tongue, ears, eyes. And the heart. We detail each in turn. Breath Your breath makes the recorder sound. All recorder music, good and bad, comes from blown air. Likewise for any wind instruments, of course, however breath for the recorder is uniquely different. Instruments like flute, trumpet, saxophone have an "embouchure", a particular mouth shape needed to play the instrument. The recorder is different. All you do is blow into the mouthpiece, the inner workings make the sound. This is why children get noise from a recorder straight away, unlike other wind instruments. While there are particular ways to hold the recorder in your mouth, a specific embrouchure is not needed. The instrument does the work. Simple? Not quite. Each recorder note has an optimal breath pressure....

How to play the piano?

Identifying Octaves The first thing we’ll do is break the piano down into more manageable chunks. If you look closely at the keyboard, you’ll see that there is actually a pattern to how the keys are laid out. They’re laid out in such a way that after 12 keys the notes repeat themselves. We call this sequence of 12 keys an Octave. A traditional 88 key piano can be split up into just 7 octaves. Learning to identify this octave pattern is crucial for finding your way around the keyboard. Finding Middle C Now that you know how to split your piano up into discrete octaves, finding specific notes is easy! Let’s start with the most important note on the piano, Middle C. How do we find it? Take a look at the black keys of the piano, and notice how there’s a pattern of black keys across the whole keyboard, alternating between groupings of three black keys and two black keys. Number The Fingers In order to play the piano to the best of our ability, you need to be sure to play with the...

What is the recorder?

The recorder is a woodwind musical instrument in the group known as internal duct flutes—flutes with a whistle mouthpiece. A recorder can be distinguished from other duct flutes by the presence of a thumb-hole for the upper hand and seven finger-holes: three for the upper hand and four for the lower.

What is the piano?

A large keyboard musical instrument with a wooden case enclosing a soundboard and metal strings, which are struck by hammers when the keys are depressed. The strings' vibration is stopped by dampers when the keys are released and can be regulated for length and volume by two or three pedals.                                                                      Bernice Chong on the piano.
