本来想借助丰富的网上资源来自学弹琴的,不料我们国内的相关网站太少太少了,要不就是商业性太强,不要就是一点也不专业,不系统,知料东拼西凑也没有多少,难怪国人的整体音乐水平和许多国家还有很大的差距。
现在我自己接触的各类音乐还很少,但总感觉不少国外的音乐听起来是那丰富,再看看比利时的Michel Voncken,键盘弹得真是出神入化,你似乎可以通过你的弹奏感觉到他的情感变化。反正是很舒服。
革命尚未成功,国人仍需努力。
以下文章来至WIKIHOW,有点像我们的百度知道。建议都还不错,我慢慢译。
Tips小提示
- Play pieces that you enjoy playing or pieces that you know well! 弹奏你很熟悉的曲子。
- Never give up. The fingering, speed, and chords in some pieces may be frustrating and difficult, but push through it. If you get frustrated, step away from the piano for a few minutes until you are ready to play again. 决不放弃。一些曲子的指法,速度,和弦可能会让你受挫、感觉困难,但还是要坚持。如果有遇到困难,先离开琴一会儿,直到你做好继续弹奏的准备。
- The more you practice, the better you will perform. 你练得越多,就会弹得更好。
- If you're at a recital and your hands shake wildly, sit on your hands for a few minutes before you go out to play. It calms them down. 如果你参加了一个独奏会,而你的手抖得厉害,请先坐在自己的双手上几分钟。这样就能镇静下来。
- Find the right teacher! Your relationship with your teacher can affect the way you feel about practicing, so arrange for a trial period of a few weeks to find out if there's a good fit. Parents, especially--pay attention! 找一位对路的老师!你和老师之间的关系会影响到你在练习时的感觉,花几周的时间好好找适合的老师。父母们一定要有注意。
- If you are shy, practice playing in front of your family and friends. They will enjoy it and in time, so will you. 如果你很害羞,那就得多在你的亲朋好友前练习。他们会喜欢你的演奏的,你也会很愉快。
- Learning music theory is fun and is the best way to become a great musician, whether you want to play classical, jazz or pop. 学习乐理是很有趣的,这也是成为演奏家的最好方法,无论你想弹流行、爵士还是经典。
- Always follow the fingering on the piece (although there are certain exceptions). While some of the finger positions may feel awkward at first, following them will help you play more smoothly because you won't have to adjust your hand position because you cannot reach the next note. 跟着指法来练(虽然也有例外)。有些指法刚开始会感觉怪怪的,但你练好指法后会帮助你更流畅的弹奏,因此你没必要因为弹不到下一个音符而调整手的位置。
- The exceptions on fingering are rare but important. Male and Female hands have slightly different shapes with the length of the index and ring fingers being different. Also if your hands are small some stretches simply aren't possible. However 95% of the time the printed fingering is right so persever and it will make sense. 例外指法虽然罕见但很重要。男女的手型在食指和无名指上有微细的差别。同时,如果你的手很少,那么伸展性就欠佳。如果你的指法95%都正确,那弹奏就很有感觉了。
- Practice sight reading; it's an important skill. It will help you master a piece faster and give you more time to work. 练习视奏;这是个重要的技能。这样你才能更快的掌握曲子,从而省出更多的时间练习。
- Hand and body posture are very important. Slouching gives a bad impression and having a bad hand posture will be counter-productive to your practice. Keep your wrists loose and your hands flexible. Keep your fingers at a natural curve, as if you were holding your hands at your side. This gives you more power in your finger strokes. 手和体位也很重要。没精打采的给人印象不好,错误的手型会给你的练习带来反作用。保持手腕放松和手指的弹性。保持手指的自然曲线。这将有利于击键。
-
- Listen to your notes and tune your ears to the keys' pitches. This is needed on some advanced piano tests and will allow you to impress your friends by playing blindfolded! 细听弹奏出的音符,辨出音程。在一些高级钢琴练习中将会用到,这样你就可以在你朋友面前蒙眼弹奏来炫炫了。
- Don't be afraid to really hammer out those notes in that forticiticimo section (fff). Just make sure you don't slip on the notes. Put some passion into it! Any kind of music is worthy of your passion. 别怕敲击FFF强音符。只要不滑音。多投入些感情!任何一种音乐都值得你的投入。
- Do not keep your foot on the sustaining pedal; it blurs your chords together and makes them sound "muddy." 别把脚一直搭在延音踏板上;这样会弄杂你的和弦。
- It is better to play too slowly than to play too fast when you are performing. Play evenly and with a great deal of care in your touch and you will sound professional. 演奏更慢总比更快要好。认真的弹触每一个键更显专业。
- Keep a regular, steady rhythm when you are playing. Just playing rhythmically makes a piece sound a lot better. Consider buying a metronome to help with this. 演奏时保证规律稳定的节奏。有节奏的弹奏会好听得多。可以考虑用节拍器。
- Play simple pieces by ear and make your own arrangements of them. This will help you to become less dependent on written music. When you are playing by ear, keep going! Do not start sections of the piece over again. If you miss a chord one time, you can practice so that you'll play it the next time. The main thing is to overcome repetition and hesitation and learn to play a piece through smoothly when you are performing it. 演奏你听到的简单的音乐,且重新编排。这样你就不会太过依赖琴谱。当你在听奏时,一直进行下过!不要回头重弹。如果你漏弹一个和弦,你可以下一次再练。主要是弃除反复和犹豫,锻炼流畅的弹奏能力。
- In addition to studying traditional chord relationships (harmony), take a class in composition and listen to as much music as you can. Community colleges offer excellent instruction in music theory, history, and composition. Playing with other people in ensembles is also an excellent idea. 学习传统的和弦关系,
- Get used to the idea that some of the pianos you will be playing will not sound that good or be in perfect tune. This is one of the hazards of being a piano player--you can't carry your favorite instrument with you. Try to make the best of things when you are playing an inferior instrument. A good pianist can usually make a bad piano sound reasonably good--although some pianos are in such bad condition that you should feel free to say that you cannot play that piano.
- If you want to correctly use the sustain pedal, play a chord, then before you play your next chord, quickly lift up the sustain pedal and put it back down. Whenever you change chords or play notes from a different chord, "reset" the sustain pedal.
- For Medium/Advanced players, try playing through that new piece using the chords written above the grand staff. Use your left hand to play octaves and your right hand to play the chord. Start off using the first inversion of every chord, then for a challenge, limit yourself to using only one octave and trying out different inversions of chords.
- Take shorts breaks every so often when practicing. This will allow your fingers to recover and your mind to become better focused.
- Don't freak out when you can't play a measure (or two). Just take a short break. Give yourself some time to clam down before you attack the problem again.
- For medium/advanced players, eventually, you will play faster pieces that are also long. If you keep pushing on the keys, you will tire out before you even finish the first page. To prevent this, lift your fingers up higher for louder notes and move your wrist so that it "follows the notes" (as the keys you press make higher and higher sounds, your wrist gets nearer and nearer to the right side of the piano when you're facing it. Do the opposite when the sounds made by the keys get lower and lower. However, if you overdo it, there'll be no point)
Warnings
- Don't slack off. Sometimes it may become tedious, but keep practicing.
- Don't be nervous at recitals. Just play your piece. Don't worry about how you look. Pay attention to the thing that really counts -- how the music sounds!
- Don't buy or let your parents buy a piano when you're not sure you want to start playing it at all!
- Never play the same melody the same way. If the composer puts identical measures in the piece, make it interesting by using dynamics or ritardandos.
- Don't settle to just play the notes on the page. Think about what the melody is trying to convey and play the song as though it was your own - from your heart.
Things You'll Need
- A piano (electronic keyboard's keys will be weighted differently, so best to start out with an acoustic piano).
- Music
Steps
- Playing the Piano is a great skill to have in life and learning is great fun - although the first few weeks is quite an effort.
- Pianos can be very expensive, so if you can't afford to buy one, keyboards are an excellent cheaper alternative. There are also some great cross overs such as digital grands from people like Roland and Yamaha. If you can afford a piano, there are several criteria you should consider before buying yourself a piano. Before buying a piano or keyboard, make certain you are willing to practice for thirty or more minutes each day. If you're not, then save yourself the expense of buying the piano and books or lessons. If you have the passion to learn you can often borrow a piano from someone or get an old piano that someone is getting rid of.
- Arrange for music lessons with a teacher in your area. The Music Teachers National Association or the referral from a friend is a good place to start. Many schools and colleges offer piano lessons at a substituted cost. Ask other piano students for feedback about their books or teachers. Sometimes a student likes his or her teacher for the wrong reasons; for example if your friend likes his/her teacher because "he/she/the book doesn't make me work very hard," then steer away from that source.
- Make certain your teacher or lesson book includes time spent learning all aspects of the piano, including chords, theory, and improvisation, as well as learning pieces by note. In learning the piano, you are also learning the language and history of music. It takes time and effort to learn this "foreign language" and musical understanding means more than just playing a few pieces well. True mastery of music is a lifelong process. It takes many years to become a good musician. It's worth knowing that ANY knowledge of the piano is very helpful for singing or playing other instruments so any work you put in on the piano has positive knockon effects on your other skills.
- Practice every day for at least thirty minutes or more. Your fingers will "rust" if you do not play for even a week. But you may often find that if you have practised dilligently for a while a short break lets things sink in and you 'forget' some of your mistakes so holidays are OK. At first, practicing might be a pain and you might get very frustrated. As your skills grow, you will become better and playing piano will become pure enjoyment. It's best to warm up at the beginning of every practice session with some thing to get you relaxed. Some loud chords played up and down the piano perhaps a scale played starting from a slouch position and finishing sitting up straight. Traditionally lots of scales were played but these days they are not recommended as your warm up, there are some good books on warm up exercises like 'dozen a day' which are fun and mental and finger 'tongue twisters' in them. If you have a favourite easy pieces that makes a nice start. These will stretch your fingers and hands and help you play with your hands relaxed. (When you play, you should be able to see your finger bones move. Let your hand just hang and move only your fingers.)
- Remember that it's worth the effort and will make you a much better piano player when your teacher asks you to learn a hard piece. While there are many ways to practice, here's a good one for beginners. First try to sightread the piece without worrying if you make mistakes. Then practice each hand independently. Break the music into segments and learn the right hand part. Learn segment by segment, then connect them together. Keep practicing until you've mastered the right hand play through the entire piece. If you make a mistake, try to pick up from the beginning of that measure. Starting from the beginning each time you make a mistake will mean you learn the start of the song very well and perhaps never reach the end! Be patient, this process will enable you to get through the entire piece flawlessly. Once you've mastered the right hand, repeat the process with the left hand. Then, repeat the process again, this time for both hands.
- Take a new piece apart by learning one or two measures at a time, and going over it again and again. The next day do the same thing with the next few measures, and then include the last measures and play them all together. By practicing this way, you can spend quality time listening to how they sound and making sure your fingers know where to go and when. Never learn an entire piece all at once.
- Try not to repeat your mistakes. Playing the piano is an automatic process like walking (you don't think about each step you take, you just walk). Because of this, past mistakes have a tendency to come back when you play the piece later on. To avoid this, do the following: When you are learning a new piece, break it down into simple parts that you can practice without making a lot of mistakes. And play slowly. For example, practice each hand separately. After you have determined the fingering you are going to follow, play both hands together in short sections. Eventually put the sections together. Do not try to play at normal speed until you are secure in your fingering and notes. Then increase the speed gradually. Play the piece over and over until you memorize it and you can play fluently.
- Improvise and think notes. "Thinking notes" means that you know every single note that you're playing. While that sounds easy, it can be very hard. Play a piece that you have memorized and can play very well. Now, name every note that you played without looking at piano. Then, take a melody you've heard on TV or somewhere else and try to play it using your ear. Learn to know all the notes that you're playing. While playing by ear is good, it's a lot better if you know every note that you play.
