12 SIMPLE WELL KNOWN PIANO PIECES PLAYED BY THE COMPUTER.

HOW TO LEARN TO READ MUSIC SKITTONE 2023 A pleasant way to do this is to follow simple music scores as you hear the music. I am writing music players that shows the note names as the music is played. I am using the book The Public Domain Song Book by David Berger and Chuck Israel - Such Sweet Thunder Press. This has a lot of well known, simple piano music with no double notes, perfect for a beginner or a computer program. The lyrics are fun too. The Music Player: I have written a computer program to play piano. I started from scratch with children's books and a keyboard. I learned that the music scale has three half notes in it, making it all a horror. Players must memorize scales - which black keys are required in a particular scale (there are twelve of them!). This is a daunting task. The piano keyboard is designed with this issue in mind. Some white keys have the half notes built into them. The key of C requires no black keys because the half notes are built in. If you want to raise the pitch (up to 11 keys) and play a scale it involves black keys; ingenious but a real mess. In other words; you see B on the score and press the appropriate key, knowing the key signature. The staff has which keys are sharp or flat as an aid at the beginning of the line. There are 6 sets of 12 keys playing the FACE EGBDF pitches; sounds complicated. The repeating black key pattern configurations serve as landmarks on the keyboard. Becoming an accomplished player is a lengthy and commendable accomplishment. An alternative to this is a computer program to sort this out. The 85 keys of the piano can be treated equally so key shifts are accomplished by just moving up and down a number of keys. The tune is just a pattern; recognizable if shifted up or down the keyboard. This works! Tricks are possible like changing key signtures and octaves; playing note by note; backing up, etc. Note names are shown both as on the score and the key pressed after the key signature change. The Limitations of my Music Player: Being reckless, impulsive and irreverant, I took on this project directly irregardless to music traditions. This quickly resulted in a workable player that has problems and limitations. Music is divided into beats with time signatures. My player uses wait times. That is, it has recorded piano notes which are allowed to play different amounts of time. This greatly simplifies writing music but is wrong. It even greatly upsets real musicians! Sorry. My computer has a limited tolerance to playing sounds quickly; if overloaded it just breaks down, so having a precise idea on the length of played sounds is a good idea. Beats help organize several instruments playing together but my program is solo voce.
