my piano classes, finally :)

there are a few things i always wanted to learn but never got too really...
one among them is learnin the piano... i like music and have always wanted to learn a western and indian musical instrument...

with effect yesterday i started to learn the piano...am back to school again... learning it under the able guidance of sr. edwin of my school :) got back a little while ago from my second class :)

my observations:
learning the piano aint as easy as i expected it to be...
thought i can finally lay my hands on the keys...
am far from it...am playing on keys drawn out on paper.. a learning process to keep my fingers steady [by placing a five rupee coin] and getting the position right!!! quite a task it is....

second task is to learn up the notes... the order, the symbol, the notation...
thats all i have been exposed to until now.
the treble clef indicates i have to use my right hand, while the bass clef indicates i use my left hand!

the notes are written on 5 horizontal lines called the staff...
each line called the 1st line, 2nd line so on... and the space between them called 1st space, 2nd space until 4th space...
the notes are written on or between the lines... with two bars at the end of such staff indicating the end of a piece!

thats all i have learnt till now :)
will stop now as i have to go learn up my notes and complete my 'piano homework' :)

more updates later :)
