We just added a new fogging machine to sanitize our studios. Coupled with hand sanitizing, wearing of Mask and Face shields, we continue to safeguard our teachers and students against the virus. Stay safe everyone!
May 19, 2021, Wednesday. The day started with Home Based Learning for kids in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary school. For Your Sempre Music, Online Music Lessons was started as well. Students will continue learning music…. no excuse!!!
The setup of multiple devices and cameras
Our students took on the Online lessons naturally, at the comfort and safety of their homes.
Separated yet connected. Let’s continue to breakthrough the barriers and have fun learning !!!
During the March holidays, our students joined the International Piano and Violin Competition organized by Music Singapore along with other talented kids in Singapore and other Countries. We congratulate all of them for performing great music on stage and on Facebook Live.
Big THANK YOU to all the parents for their constant support and taking time from work to accompany their kids to the competition. Let’s enjoy their performance again!
One year ago, these kids joined our music school and started learning music using “The ONE Smart Classroom System”, coupled with Rhythm & Movement methodology.
Starting…. November 2019… with all the fun and laughter in the music studio. Kids learn Piano playing, musical theory, singing and music appreciation, but most importantly, enjoyed playing the piano.
October 2020… confidently performs a song from the music book
“Let Us Go Together” performance by Xavier at October 2020
11 months later……. Successfully completed The ONE Smart Classroom System MAP 1
The left side of the brain is responsible for controlling the right side of the body. It also performs tasks that have to do with logic, such as in science and mathematics.
On the other hand, the right side of the brain coordinates the left side of the body, and performs tasks that have do with Music, Sound, Creativity and the Arts.
Piano, Violin and Drawing Art, all in One School. Without the need to run around town looking for three different schools, Your Sempre Music have simply consolidated everything into one place.
This is the place for you to rest your Left brain and let your Right brain have some fun for a change.
What is in your piano? What are the things that are making the sound?
The Piano is a piece of Art, an Engineered Art, made solely for making sound. Under the fingers of pianists, Music is born! Let’s take a look what’s under the hood!
The exploded view of a Grand Piano shows the Frame, Soundboard, Strings, Action, Pedals, Case, Pin Block, Bridge.
Typical strings design of a Grand Piano
How do you play a piano? Basically, you need to use a hammer to create sound. BUT WAIT!!!! Before you get any wild ideas and get a hammer, take a look at the picture below.
This is the Hammer. It is a felted mallet which is driven to hit the strings by the piano action to producing sound. Piano hammers have a spring like action due to two tension and compression forces. Highly compressed felt is formed around a wood core under high pressure to make piano hammers.
Showing an illustration of the Grand Piano keyboard action construction. The Action module consists of 57 parts, interlinked to allow the Hammer to strike the Piano strings when the pianist presses the keys. When the Key is pressed, the Hammer moves towards the strings, transferring kinetic energy into strings in approximately 2 milliseconds of contact time. The strings vibrates mechanically (structural borne noise) converting into acoustic energy (airborne noise).
It is hard to visualize the mechanical action, luckily, someone already created a simulation so we may all understand the mechanics.
Credits to Jared Owen. Part 1 covers the different parts and functions Action module of the Grand Piano
Now that we know the key movements, the next part emphasize on the sound quality produced with and without the pedals
Credits to Jared Owen. Part 2 covers the Three Foot Pedals of the Grand Piano.
The ingenuity and hard-work of engineers who makes the Grand Piano into a piece of art for Pianists throughout the world and ages. Upon playing on one such pianos, you will understand why it is call a Grand Piano!!
