Keyboard Harmonium eBooks
Keyboard Or Piano
Keyboard offers a wide variety of instrumental sounds, in
addition to the basic piano sound. Even fairly inexpensive ones usually also
offer preprogrammed rhythms or styles and "auto-chord" accompaniment,
which provides a harmonic background against which you can play a melody.
When you play the songs you can use any sound you wish. The rhythm
controls provide drumbeats to play along with.
Harmonium consists of reeds and sound is produced by air being pushed or sucked over reeds resulting in a sound similar to that of an accordion. The sound from a harmonium is identical as the sound of an accordion and belongs to the accordion family. The coupler is a mechanical feature of a harmonium, which allows double key function. It automatically presses the corresponding key of the next octave when any key is pressed. The best fingering technique is to start learning harmonium from the first black key or first white key. To play harmonium first black key is recommended. However, the harmonium is also a keyboard, and so these lessons apply equally to the harmonium as well as to the electronic synthesizer keyboard/piano. The important difference between keyboard and harmonium is that you can - and do play the keys with your left hand also; but for harmonium, your left hand is used in pumping the bellow to force air under pressure into the inside of the harmonium. In keyboard, our left hand is used for chords.
