Grand Piano
There are 88 keys on a grand piano
But you don’t need to play them all to make a show
Just pick a few that sound good together
And you can sing along with any weather
C, D, E, F, G, A, B
These are the notes of the C major scale
They are easy to remember and fun to play
But don’t forget the sharps and flats along the way
C sharp, D sharp, F sharp, G sharp, A sharp
These are the black keys that make things interesting
They can change the mood of any song
But be careful not to hit them wrong
B flat, E flat, A flat, D flat, G flat
These are the other black keys that have different names
They are also called enharmonic equivalents
But that’s a fancy term that makes no sense
So don’t worry about the theory or the rules
Just play the piano with your heart and soul
And if you make a mistake, just laugh it off
Because music is a joy that we can all share
But wait, there’s more to the grand piano
There are also three foot pedals that you can use
They can make your sound softer, louder, or smoother
But you need to know when and how to use them
The left pedal is called the una corda
It shifts the hammers to strike fewer strings
It makes your sound softer and more gentle
But it also changes the tone and tuning
The middle pedal is called the sostenuto
It sustains only the notes that you hold down
It lets you create contrast and harmony
But it also requires more skill and control
The right pedal is called the damper
It lifts all the dampers from the strings
It makes your sound louder and richer
But it also creates more resonance and ringing
So now you know more about the grand piano
And how to use the keys and the pedals
You can experiment and have fun with them
But remember to practice and learn from them.
Not sure if this is a song that is even possible to be sung, don't know if it would suit a male or a female voice.
