I want to learn to play piano/keyboards so I can do all that MIDI stuff with my songwriting. I’m going to start off with a cheap and simple electric keyboard for now so I can learn how to play it and try to get good with it. I’ll start off with a cheap and simple keyboard and then I’ll buy a more expensive keyboard with all kinds of MIDI sounds like strings, jazz ensemble, choirs and other sounds if you know what I mean. I wanna be able to learn MIDI stuff with home recording and for that, I need to learn how to play the keyboards.
If I’m going to learn how to play piano/keyboards then I’m gonna have to learn how to read music too. I’ve already started learning how to read music for piano ’cause I have an app that gives you lessons on how to read music. That “Musicopoulos” app that I’ve been talking about on here. Learning how to read sheet music doesn’t seem that hard. All it is it’s just a C major scale.
I also wanna play just regular piano too so I can perform cover songs and write originals on regular piano. I really would like to perform Billy Joel and Elton John covers. I can perform their songs on guitar if I wanted but they would sound better on piano.
I’ve already had tried to learn how to play piano/keyboards in the past before but back then I didn’t take it very seriously. I think I wanna take it seriously this time.
I just wanna play another instrument other than guitar and I think the piano is just right for me. I think I can write great songs on the piano. The piano have always been a cool instrument and I’ve always wanted to learn how to play.
Someday I would get myself a real piano like an upright or something but not at this time, maybe sometime down the road.
