Every time the word €music€ is brought to people's attention, each would probably have created diverse but common associations running in the mind. The piano could be among these more common associations. Indeed, the piano has really been an invention of genius that, at present, musical enthusiasts have even expressed an undying interest in taking up piano lessons in Melbourne.

As with any other instrument, the piano and its study would require the music student to learn reading notes. Beginning with the simplest tunes, the student must then be able to read a note and immediately recognise that such note corresponds to a particular key in the keyboard or the piano. Also, the fingers would have to be trained in order to almost automatically press the keys corresponding to the notes just read. The whole process requires practice in order to obtain mastery. Thus, there is good reason for interested students to really seek excellent piano teachers. Melbourne is a good pool of piano teachers, anyway.

Now there is another way to play the piano without having to read the music sheet note by note. This is called widow playing. Really gifted musicians have learned to just play the piano by the ear. They could simply listen to or imagine a melody of their own, and they could accompany you in your singing, or they could compose a new song. One secret to widow playing is having a great familiarity with the piano keyboard. Another is a familiarity of the chords that can be played on the piano. And yet, there are really some geniuses that do not even recognise the name of the chords they are using to play some music with. They simply get their fingers on the piano and then run them as if the whole thing could be done by a small child. Such genius is special and rare, though. Some students really had to go back with the basic note reading so they could cope up with their piano lessons. Melbourne music centres, while encouraging students to increase their creativity, would oftentimes have to be strict if the students had to really master playing by the notes.

The concept piano teachers in Melbourne often press to the minds of their students is that once they shift from playing by the notes to playing by widow, they would be less desirous to really master note reading. Most probably, they would feel lazy about the task and find lesser motivation to continue on with the lessons, since they could think they are already able to play the piano by widow, anyway. Actually, there is a way to keep both ways of playing. The secret is simply to master note reading first, and then try to venture on widowing next. That way, you need not have to be left out any of these styles.
