The first time to learn the electronic piano partners will have a lot of questions, such as the time value of a very long tone, like the quarter note, five beats and six beats or even longer how to play out the tone? The following is my organization about the electronic piano press out long tone method, welcome to read.
The way to press out long notes on the electric piano
Notes have such long beats, and it is somewhat difficult to drag it out and extend it with the keyboard, as if a singing actor were pulling on his voice to make it last. In fact, such long notes fill the beat, but sometimes there is no continuation of the rest of the note.
This is the case with the piano, where it is impossible to play any long tones without the sustain pedal, and the longer tones of three and four beats have very little continuation, and are completely "pretentious".
The pursuit of truly long tones on an electric piano is achieved by using tonal transitions, such as violin, trumpet, and organ, which have the ability to sustain articulation for as many beats as you want, without diminishing, much less fading, in volume.
For instruments with short articulations, such as the piano, electric piano, vibraphone, etc., you have to use the sustain function of the electronic piano to moderately lengthen the long beats, and then work with the hand hold to achieve the accuracy of the long timbres in the spatial and temporal sense.
It's worth noting that for long, slow, lyrical pieces, you should choose the right tone (with sustain) from the start, to complete the long timbres in the true sense of the word.
Introduction to the selection of automatic rhythms for the electronic keyboard
There are many automatic rhythms for the electronic keyboard, generally ten or so, some as many as dozens of them, removing similar, commonly used basic rhythms are mainly waltzes (waltzes), marches, discos, bossa nova, beguine, tango, rumba, swing, and so on.
Exactly how to choose the automatic rhythm of the electronic piano, what rules should be followed?
1, according to the song and the style of the music, the emotion to choose the appropriate rhythm. We know that the melody of different pieces of music are fast and slow, happy and happy; or light or warm, or lyrical or depicted. They are through a variety of beats and tonality, with a variety of melodic display of different content and color. When choosing auto rhythm, we should consider these factors and characteristics. For example, if a tune with a moderate or slightly fast tempo is in 3/4 or 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, the automatic rhythm of the waltz (waltz) is very suitable, because it can be very appropriate from the perspective of the rhythmic point and the law of strength and weakness, as well as the light and lively dance style. Note, however, that the light and lively tunes are not limited to waltzes, but also to polkas, rumbas, and other rhythms, which are of course danceable rhythms, generally symmetrical only in 2/4 and 4/4 time. That is to say, the choice of automatic rhythm, one should be matched with the style of similar, two should be coordinated with the beat.
2, marching speed, beat is powerful, the choice of marching auto rhythm is superior.
3, enthusiastic music, the first choice is disco.
4, light and lively small fast, Rumba, Beguiying most commonly used.
In addition to waltz and round dance rhythms, the rest of the numerous rhythms, regardless of speed, can be used as 2/4, 2/2 beat, 4/4 beat, 1/4 beat and other beat accompaniment.
All the songs that use the most beats are generally 2/4 and 4/4, and there are a lot of autoharp rhythms to accompany these two types of beats, such as polkas, marches, rumbas, tangos, cha-cha-chas, etc.
As for some of the rhythms, there are a lot of other rhythms.
As for some of the lesser used 12, 16 beat rock Latin dance and so on, you can use bebop, bomba and other characteristics of the rhythm.
5, the choice of automatic rhythm can also be flexible. Sometimes, some of the three beat tune is very fast, up to the fast plate plate what, this is not also waltz, you can use the drums are not complex two beat auto-rhythm, that is, the three beat is tightened to a beat, so that the original tune beat is more clear and not messy.
6, familiar with the characteristics of various dance rhythms, to develop a correct sense of music. To carefully and accurately select the automatic rhythm of the electronic piano, you must usually understand more and accumulate more knowledge of the characteristics of different rhythms and performance content. It can be said that every piece of music will more or less show various dance rhythm characteristics, and these characteristics are undoubtedly important factors that we must consider with which kind of electric piano fixed automatic rhythm matches and is similar. If you don't know anything about common dance characteristics, how can you choose a good auto-rhythm?
Two more summaries:
1). In the case of a song that doesn't specify an auto-rhythm, the auto-rhythm should be selected in relation to the beat, tempo, emotion, and style of the song.
2). In the case of loose beats, slow and melancholic pieces, it is possible to play them manually and turn off the auto-tempo, which is also an option.
The notes have such long beats that it is somewhat difficult to drag them out and extend them with the keyboard, like a singing actor pulling on his voice to hold it up. In fact, such long notes fill the beat, but sometimes there is no continuation of the rest of the note.
This is the case with the piano, where it is impossible to play any long tones without relying on the sustaining pedal, and the longer tones of three and four beats have very little continuation, and are completely "pretentious".
The pursuit of truly long tones on an electric piano is achieved by using tonal transitions, such as violin, trumpet, and organ, which have the ability to sustain articulation for as many beats as you want, without diminishing, much less fading, in volume.
For instruments with short articulations, such as the piano, electric piano, vibraphone, etc., you have to use the sustain function of the electronic piano to moderately lengthen the long beats, and then work with the hand hold to achieve the accuracy of the long timbres in the spatial and temporal sense.
It's worth noting that when playing long, slow, lyrical pieces, you should choose the right tone (with sustain) at the beginning to complete the long timbres in the true sense of the word.
How to use a metronome
A metronome is an instrument that uses the isochronous nature of the pendulum to control the sound of the beat to keep time.
When you remove the metronome panel, you see a scale. It marks the number of beats per minute (n) that the metronome's pendulum makes when it vibrates. There is a pendulum rod with a pendulum that moves up and down. Pendulum position on the scale number, said the pendulum vibration per minute the number of beats (a full vibration has two beats), which can be calculated pendulum vibration period (T) T = (2?60)/n (seconds)
Change the position of the pendulum can be changed to change the period of its vibration.
To make it easier to tell the time, the lower part of the metronome's wooden box is fitted with a bell and an adjustable lever that allows the bell to ring once every few beats. Remembering the number of beats the bell rings once, you can find the time interval (t) t=T/2?R=60/(n/R) (seconds)
R is the number of beats the bell rings once. Adjusting the position of the lever changes the number of beats the ringer sounds once. If you don't need to ring the bell, just push the lever all the way in. When you use it, wind it up first, and be careful not to tighten it too much. According to the experimental requirements, adjust the number of beats per minute and ringing frequency. The metronome should be placed horizontally and the amplitude of the pendulum should not be too large. After use, let the clockwork relax and pay attention to maintenance. When used, it should start timing from a certain ringing.
