What Elements Comprise Beginning Piano Lessons
Beginning piano lessons are there to walk you through the basics of playing the piano. Although an overwhelming instrument, piano music and the instrument itself can actually be mastered by practically anyone. Either as a spring board to ready you for formal piano lessons or just something that can help you with your musical aspirations, the following beginning piano lessons will allow you to establish your relationship with this wonderful instrument.
{Understanding The Piano}
It is easy to be intimidated by the keyboard, but a degree of familiarity with its structure can do just the trick. For starters, all keyboards contain only 12 keys which is arranged in the keyboard with a pattern. This pattern can be observed to repeat itself throughout the entire piano.
The piano's layout comprises of individual sets of black and white keys. Each of these keys stand for a specific note, which by the way counts to only 12 notes no matter how many keys there are in your piano. You would notice that both the black and white keys form a pattern that repeats throughout the entire length of the keyboard. The black keys are grouped in sets of 2s and 3s and white keys form the remainder of the pattern.
It is also noticeable that to the left of any pair of two black keys is a white key. This is is called the key of C, the key where not only all octaves begin but also where most beginning piano lessons start from.
{The Middle C and The Finger Positioning}
The Middle C is the key that sits squarely in the middle of any keyboard. If you are using an 88-key piano, this key can be found right in the middle of the manufacturer's logo. The big deal with Middle C – this just happens to be a very important key in the basic finger positioning for most basic piano lessons.
The Middle C is often called as the Number 1 position. To properly place your fingers into position, your thumb should be on the Middle C. The rest of your fingers should rest on all white keys adjacent to the left or the right of the Middle C.
The thumbs are designated as the number 1 fingers and the rest of the fingers have their numbers as well. Your thumb is the number 1 finger, your index finger is the second, the middle finger is the third.
{Now let's begin with your first lesson…}
For your starter's lesson, take the number 1 position. Now press your thumb, followed by your index fingers and the rest of your fingers – one key at a time. Press each key slowly and evenly, ensuring that you do not take long pauses between keys. After finishing with your pinky, reverse the exercise by pressing the fifth key all the way through Middle C. This exercise is what pianist call a basic arpeggio, repeat this for at least 30 minutes.
Your thumb and index fingers should have no problem doing your first finger exercise but it is common for beginners to press the 3rd finger without forcing the 4th finger down or vice versa. This is natural because both fingers are not used to working independently. Overtime, the muscles in these fingers will 'learn' to become independent. For the time being, pay special attention to your 3rd and 4th fingers.
Any beginning piano lessons start with these elements – learning the structure of the keyboard, getting acquainted with the pattern of the keys, knowing the Middle C and practicing your first finger exercise.
What kind of lights do i need for portraits of babies, children and families?
Nothing fancy just enough to get the job done, the studio has alot of windows so i get alot of natural light in the room but i still need some type of lights to avoid using on camera flash and soften shadows. What is the difference between softboxes, spotlights, umbrellas etc and what kind do I need just to take some entry level portraits of families, children, etc. And, can I use worklights from hardware store to help me out on a low budget. I have seen clamp-on lights that are really cheap also. If so, what kind of bulbs do I need? I found a really cheap set online that has 2 umbrella lights really cheap but it said something about a background light kit. so what are they for?

basic pro portrait lighting has 3 main elements.
1. key light - placed in front of the subject just to the left or right of the camera.
2. fill light - placed at an angle to the subject and key light to soften shadows
3. hair/accent light - placed overhead to literally light the top of the head.
some portrait photogs also use a background light placed overhead or on the floor (or both) between the subject and the background cloth or paper to lighten, soften or eliminate drop shadows on the background. a colored gel on this light can also be a cheap way to make a white background any color you want.
umbrellas and softboxes simply soften or diffuse light to lessen harsh shadows.
which lights? almost anything you want as long as it fits the socket and is below the maximum wattage rating (safety first!). different lights produce different color casts so just adjust your white balance for broad compensation and color correct using other camera settings or photoshop for more subtle adjustments.
it really is that simple for a beginning portrait photog. as your skills increase so will your lighting wants and needs. some of the best photos I have ever taken use only one light source.
I would recommend you get a 3 hot light kit (under $400 for a step above super cheap and flimsy) to start and build from there as you get better and want more creativity in your photos.
