marielle limbo- description of the piano

The piano is a very interesting and wonderful instrument that I have been playing since I was 7 years old. Pianos come in a variety of shapes, sizes, styles, and sounds. For instance there is the grand piano and the upright piano. This picture here represents the grand piano. The word piano is short for pianoforte. The musical terms of "piano" and "forte" mean " quiet and loud.
          The piano consits a total of 88 kyes, with 52 white kyes and 36 black keys. The piano also contains 3 differnt pedals that play differenet roles. The highest key is on the far right and the lowest key is on the far left. One thing that I like about the piano is that it can be played in many different ways. For example, it could be played soft, loud, graceful, light, hard, slow, fast, and lively. Some key terms of playing the piano is allegretto, Moderato, and Spiritoso.
          The music of the piano gives a soothing sense everytime it is played. It flows in my ears through my head. Its keys are like angle like voices. Whenever I play the piano I personally perfer to play classical music such as Beethoven, Clementi, and Mozart. My favorite piece to play is Fur Elise.  The piano is a very astonishing instrument to play. It is also very easy to play as well. Just by learning  a couple of notes  you will know how to play the piano in no time. (;
