"If I were to begin life again, I would devote it to music. It is the only cheap and unpunished rapture upon earth. Sydney Smith". Let's start right away. Do you know how the piano works? In order to do that let's have an inside look for a moment.Understanding how the piano creates its unique sound will help us to figure out how to play in a beautiful manner.

The simplest story you'll hear about the piano is this. Here's an inside look at the piano During our piano lessons some issues might seem to get a bit complicated from time to time, but if you remember this story you'll always stay on the right track.DynamicsDynamics are signs for loudness and softness. When you fall gently to the key the tone you make is soft and relatively quiet. That is called piano in musical terms. When you fall to the key with putting more weight you create a louder tone which is called forte. ![]() The piano used to be called Piano Forte in the past since it had a unique ability to produce a big range of difference in volume and sound. Today simply name it "piano". When we play piano we wanna make beautiful music. It means that it's much more then reading notes or finding melody by ear. We want to give something beautiful to those who listen. Even if we are the only one who listen :) In fact before we play a key we always have to imagine the sound and decide how soft or loud we want it to be. With this point of view you will see later on that you get lots of answers on how to create a unique sound that is simply yours. For now lets decide we will play with a clear tone (Mezzo forte or mf - meaning relatively strong),not to loud and not to soft. Remember, the question is not only about how to play the piano.
