Your teacher will call out some fingers for you to wiggle.Piano Tones When you play a key, a hammer inside your piano strikes a string to make a tone. When you drop into the key with a LITTLE weight, you make a SOFT tone. ‘When you use MORE weight, you make a LOUDER tone. | Curve your fingers when you play! Pretend you have a bubble in your hand. Hold the bubble gently, so it doesn't break! 1. Play any white key with the 3rd finger of either hand, softly. 2. See how many times you can repeat the same key, making the tone a litte louder each time you play. Before you play any key you should always decide how soft or loud you want it to sound. Always LISTEN CAREFULLY to the music you are making!The Keyboard ‘The keyboard is made up of white keys and black keys. ™ i 3 8 t \ Black keys are in groups of 2's and 3's LH 1.
