​

11-What is the difference between piano and keyboard?

The main differences between a piano and a keyboard are a 'piano' is an acoustic instrument with weighted keys whereas a 'keyboard' is an electric instrument (requiring a power source) with unweighted (lighter) keys than a piano. Each instrument has its own unique benefits and features. 

​

When you play a note or notes on a piano, the neighboring piano strings vibrate in harmony with the notes/s you have just played) give a richness to the sound that is unique to the piano. On a keyboard, you can change the sounds and instruments which adds great variety to your practice (many keyboards have hundreds of sounds you can choose from). Also, on a keyboard, you can play along with backing tracks. Plus playing with backing tracks is very good for developing your ability to play precisely in time.

Many of these electric keyboards can be played with headphones, which means that no one but the musician can hear the music. Accordingly, it’s possible for the student to practice whenever and wherever they want without disturbing anyone.

​

12-What is the difference between piano lessons and keyboard lessons?

The keyboard lessons often, refer to lessons or courses in which the student is taught to read the Right Hand (melody) notes while the Left-Hand plays simple block chords. Additionally, improvisation frequently is more emphasized in keyboard lessons while piano lessons are geared more toward reading and playing music as it was notated by the composer.

 

13-Should you be having piano lessons or keyboard lessons?

This will help you and your child to decide which instrument they want to play. Consider these fundamental questions:

Is your child interested in playing classical music or is your child primarily interested in playing pop music?

 

Frequently, pianos are associated with playing classical music, but they also sound fantastic with jazz and blues compositions. Similarly, keyboards are more often associated with pop music or even hard rock and heavy metal.

Whether you want to play classical music we recommend acoustic piano because the piano’s weighted keys will develop more strength in the fingers, which enables greater finesse when playing.

 

14-Why the Music theory is an important part of the foundation for any musician?

Music theory allows music education majors to read the score. It's helpful for every kind of music major and allows the musician to analyze the work of other composers so they can improve the performance and their musical knowledge. Performers must understand the structure of every piece they perform and this is impossible without a solid music theory background.
