The Yamaha YPG 625 keyboard has a new voice technology and this has attracted the masses towards it. This keyboard debuted in the year 2006. This is a portable keyboard which is better than its predecessors. Before this the DGX keyboards were available, the YPG replaced the DGX with its brand new features.

The best thing about this keyboard is that it has 88 keys for different actions. The 88 key keyboard is a first for the Yamaha brand at this price. The piano has a real acoustic feel to it. New and debut piano players will be delighted with all the features of the keyboard.

It is a lot better than light weighted keyboards. The Yamaha YPG 625 also has a 6 track sequencer. If you have a hidden composer or arranger within you then the sequencer on this keyboard will be extremely helpful. It also has polyphony of 32 notes.

This keyboard also has an authentic piano touch. In the lower end it is quite heavy and it gets lighter in the higher portion. Another good quality of the keyboard is that it is very responsive. It also has a built in recorder and it works really well and is easy to use.

Another great feature is the education suite that is presented by Yamaha itself from within the keyboard. It also has USB connectivity which is ideal for transferring files to and from a PC or laptop.

The keyboard also comes with a wooden stand, power adapter as well as a sustain pedal. The Yamaha YPG 625 has another great feature. It has almost 500 instrument voices that are realistic and has a song arranger which is quite easy to handle.

MIDI Download HERE: cid-76166843db472a7c.office.live.com this is a rough keyboard tutorial for John Murphys “Surface of the sun” i noticed by visual & hearing, that many people on youtube apear to play this with basic octives & choards, wich means it lacks a certain depth in many places, its like when people say shine on your crazy diamond starts with the classic D Minor (well it does for gilmour) but not for the keyboard : / basicly this main build ups in tune is 4 notes, choards, octives, but its how you shape the choards that helps this tune build up its level as you play it. Essentialy its an EM (an E Minor) not just an octive of 2 E’s, to begin with you essentialy have 2 E’s, 2 C’s, 2 G’s and 2 D’s (to begin with) but the structure changes as it rises and it apears as though they take the octive of say E (so thats 2 E’s) then they take an E Minor and bin 2 notes, leaving the B in place, so essentialy your now holding E.. B.. then another E then your holding C.. G.. C, then G.. D.. G, then A.. D and F sharp (G Flat) during the progression up the keyboard the choards change shape, so you have to work around them (and remember only the D is generaly a real choard) the rest are an octive with a note from a matchign choard for that octive so with that in mind i will just explain the D (becauase that seams teh most varied) D = F sharp, A, D D = D, F sharp. A D = A, D, F sharp note if your going UP the keyboard, a black note is a Sharp, if your travling down the keyboard …

It used to be that if you had piano lessons you would have to go through the routine of learning how to play your scales over and over and over again. You would have to learn how to sight read music so as to not look to see what your hands were doing. Yes this was the way to become a disciplined concert pianist. This relentless regime has turned many would be maestro away from making music altogether. I have written seven articles of which this is number three, each containing a little music lesson and sound information to help you get started and hopefully teach yourself.   

Most people would like to play their favourite song on the piano and sing along even if they were sitting at home alone, to be able to play and just sing to yourself, wouldn’t that be cool. Or sing to your loved one, perhaps that’s going too far, LOL. You will be ecstatic to find out that you can with a little coaching, easily teach yourself to play music.

To me music should be fun, music should be easy, and should be accessible to everybody. You should know that playing the piano is achievable by anybody; you just need to know where to look. Learning to play the piano for fun is easy; becoming a concert pianist will take a bit longer. Therein lays the problem with a great deal of music teachers. They want to teach you all there is to know about music before you can play a decent sing along tune. I’m not saying you can’t become a concert pianist, that’s down to you and your ambition. But for now I would like to get you interested in playing the piano for fun; the serious stuff can come later.

1. This can be quite an adventure if you treat it as a fun thing to do. So let’s get you started with a few tips, to guide you. For this little exercise you will need some sort of keyboard or piano. You will notice that on your keyboard there are repeated sections of keys, that is to say two black keys together and a set of three black keys together. We are interested firstly in the two black keys left of centre on your keyboard. In fact we want the white key left of the two black keys. That white key is the note “C” in most cases this would be called the middle C. and is your main reference point.

2. From here we can stay on the white notes and go right. Using your right hand, use your right hand thumb to play the C note then with your next finger play the next white note to the right, this is the note “D” carry on going right and white to “E”, “F”. “G”,”A”,”B” and you will notice your next note is to the left of the next pair of black keys, which means we are back to “C”. So you have played the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C. which is the scale of C major.

3. You now know the scale of C major and you might be saying, but there are eight notes and I only have five fingers. Here is a little trick for you; with your right hand play the first C with your thumb the D with your index finger and play the E with your middle finger, now here is the trick, slip your thumb under your palm to the next note F and release your fingers, now you have four notes to play and you have four fingers free to play them.

Practice this over and over and you will see that it makes sense to do this, so that you can flow to the next notes. Play these notes backwards and forwards and your fingers will remember where to go, we can call this is finger memory. Now if you are an adventurer try it again and go all the way up the keyboard and back again, then try it with your left hand, forward and backwards. This will be your next practice routine. When you are comfortable and competent with this try it with both hands at the same time, slowly.

Practice this, it will loosen up your fingers and help with coordination; slowly, slowly wins the race. There you are, that’s the hard bit over with; you are now a budding keyboard player. If you want to now play some tunes to sing to, look out for my next few articles where I will show you how to play some easy chords to sing along to. Don’t forget practice makes musicians. Musicians can write and sometimes sing their own songs; this is now not impossible for you.
