It is possible to learn electronic keyboard, but there is definitely a big difference between the two. Don’t understand that an electronic keyboard is just a simple piano! I will make a comparison below!
①: The electronic keyboard originated from the pipe organ and was invented by American Hammond in the 1920s. The principle is to use semiconductor integrated circuits to amplify the music signal and produce sound through the speaker!
The piano originated in the early 18th century and is the most mechanical of all musical instruments. It was invented by Italian Bartolommeo Cristofori. The principle is to use keys to pull hammers to strike the strings to produce sound!
②: Electronic keyboards are not standardized. Although instruments are not distinguished by the number of keys, I personally hate them! In the future, you will feel this way when you buy a piano yourself, and you will feel very dizzy. There are conventional 61 keys, early ones also had 49 keys, there are also 73 keys and the same 88 keys as the piano, and there are even 118 keys and 147 keys! The advantage of the electronic keyboard is that you can adjust the high range at any time and imitate other instruments!
The piano is completely unified, and 88 keys are inevitable! The texture of classical sound is incomparable to electronic keyboard simulation. People with good ears can definitely hear it, although there are very few such people. Of course, I do not rule out that some people have psychological factors!
③: Although with the continuous development of electronic keyboards, the keys also have velocity keys, the feeling is still not as good as that of a piano, and ordinary entry-level keyboards are far behind in terms of sound quality, keys, etc., while high-end electronic keyboards The price is almost the same as that of ordinary civilian bad pianos! Of course, if we compare the two high-end products, the high-end piano needs nearly 200 WRMB, which is incomparable to the electronic keyboard!
④: To learn the electronic keyboard formally, you need to learn enough piano music. You also need to know enough piano music. Also includes bass sheet. Many electronic piano scores today are indeed adapted from pianos. The left hand of the electronic keyboard is full of chords, which is very easy, but it is just simplified from the piano score. The left hand of the piano is very complicated. And in terms of reading music, the piano boy's recognition of bass music is much better than that of the electronic piano boy. ~~~~~However, don’t think that the left hand of the electronic keyboard is as simple as just pressing a few chords. The true meaning of the left hand of the electronic keyboard is different from that of the piano. It needs to change the tone, switch the rhythm, adjust the pulleys, play the submelody, etc. It is also very busy!
⑤: (Transfer) The piano does put very high demands on your fingers. This is one of the reasons why it is known as the king of musical instruments. And the finger skills of the electronic keyboard should not be taken lightly. When playing different timbres, the electronic keyboard must follow the playing methods of different instruments. For example, string instruments must have the feeling of playing a violin bow and must be continuous; while wind instruments must have the feeling of "vomiting" blowing and have a sound head. For a high-end and sturdy piano, if you want to play the bass drum, instead of raising your fingers to play, it is better to raise your arms and hit the keyboard with the heel of your palm. For some pop music with chaotic sounds, it cannot be clearly understood. Play every note while wiping the keys stickyly on the keyboard. If the above are played blindly with piano effects, the expressiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.
The sensitivity of the electronic keyboard's velocity keys is adjustable. It's almost the same as a piano. But the methods of exerting force are different, just like doing push-ups and arm wrestling. Although they both use force, they are used in different places.
Add three more keyboard touch functions. 1. Pre-touch: Just like playing a piano hard, the volume will be loud, while playing lightly will make the volume low. 2. Aftertouch: After playing the keyboard, pressing down on the keyboard will increase the volume, and vice versa. This is done to express the crescendo of orchestral music, which requires good control of each finger. 3. Touch the keys horizontally: Play the next note and tremble your fingers left and right, the pitch will change, and the range of change is adjustable. Just like the vibrato of erhu and guzheng. As for how to knead it, of course there are also particularities. In addition, the electronic keyboard also has a velocity pedal. This point should be added to the discussion of the expressive power of the electronic keyboard. Because the performance pedal and the velocity keyboard are inherently a unified whole. There should be a wavy feeling when operating the pedal with your foot. Sudden changes in intensity should also be handled in a certain way, without appearing rigid.
⑥: Most modern music requires electronic keyboards, and pianos are mostly used to play classical music. Although some pop music perfectly blends classical and ethnic styles, the usage is still very small. ! Piano students can play piano music within a range of 61 keys on an electronic keyboard with a little adaptation. To learn electronic keyboard, one should accumulate piano music. Especially when it comes to velocity keys, piano playing requires innate talent. If you can't understand the meaning of classical music, you won't be able to play it well at all!
Finally, I want to say: the electronic keyboard is not a simple piano. If you want to learn it, it depends on which instrument you like or simpler, whether you like classical or popular! Like the piano, there is no end to learning! If your preference is classical music, then you can buy a mid-range electronic keyboard to learn if your finances do not allow it~~~~ However, it must not be used as a simple piano lesson! You must have a good electronic keyboard teacher to teach you, and then you can learn it orthodoxly. You can later switch to piano. Without a good teacher to teach you, you will only be disheartened if all the problems are found to be difficult to overcome later!
