My name is Alex Wasserman and we are talking about piano basics. Now I would like to talk about performing. Performing piano music can be one to the most satisfying musical experiences. Piano music can be performed in a variety of different ways. They can be solo piano music with just a pianist playing by himself or herself on stage. We can have chamber music, where a pianist will play with other instrumentalists, usually in a very small group, perhaps a cello or violin and a viola and the pianist can also play with a symphony orchestra as a soloist, thats called a concerto. In any circumstance playing the piano can be one of the most rewarding musical experiences and I would recommend that anyone that has the interest to try playing the piano, take some classes. Dont become discouraged if it doesnt sound exactly how you wanted it to right off the bat. It takes time and practice, but with that time and practice youll have cultivated a skill that is very special.
