Another Love on the piano: finding your way around the keyboard

Before learning to play Another Love on the piano, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the layout of the keys on a piano keyboard. To help you, take a close look at the image below:

Take a moment to examine this diagram carefully. You’ll notice that the piano keyboard is organized in repeated sequences of two black keys followed by three black keys, and so on.

To start exploring the notes, concentrate on the series of two black keys. Locate the white key immediately to the left of these two black keys: this is the note C. The white key to the right of the two black keys is the note E. You can now easily identify all the C and E notes on your keyboard. In the same way, use the series of black keys on the diagram to find the other notes.

As you play notes to the left of your keyboard, you’ll move into the lower register, while as you move to the right, you’ll reach a higher register.

This understanding is essential for playing Another Love. Once you’ve got the hang of it, practice regularly to familiarize yourself with all the notes on the piano. If you find it difficult at first, you can associate each note with a specific color to make it easier to identify.

Another Love on the piano: play the song with both hands

Advice

Mastering the coordination required to play both hands simultaneously on the piano can be a challenge for beginners. Each hand has its own role in the music, requiring precise synchronization and independence of movement.

To progress in this skill, regular practice is essential. The La Touche Musicale application can support you in this learning process, adapting to your pace of progress.

When you come across a particularly difficult passage, divide it into smaller sections and work on them separately with each hand. Once you’ve mastered each section individually, assemble them gradually.

Remember to start slowly and gradually progress in speed and complexity. This will help you build a solid foundation and avoid frustration. With patience and perseverance, you’ll develop fluid coordination between your hands at the piano.
