A Brief History Of The Modern Piano In Society

The modern piano developed its form from two keyboard instruments, the clavichord and the harpsichord, which originated from early in music history. These keyboard instruments operate on the principle of direct connection between the applied force or pressure of the player on the keys, and the volume of sound. Meaning, the harder the pressure or force the player applies on the keys, the louder the sound of the instrument, the lighter the touch, the softer the sound.

Earlier musicians, however, encountered a problem with the clavichord and harpsichord: the sound was relatively diminutive as compared to how they would have wanted it to be, considering the fact that keyboard instruments were often played in large rooms (chambers), cathedrals and churches.

Around the year 1700, Italian instrument maker Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) created the new keyboard instrument and coined its name from the fact that it could both play “piano” (soft) and “forte” (loud), addressing the problem of the old keyboard instruments. Thus, the pianoforte, or what we call shortly now as the piano.

What is Music Education?

Music education involves the teaching and learning of all things related to music. It covers a lot of topics which can help people who show interest in the field to have a fuller grasp of the subject–from music history, music theory, learning to play musical instruments, organology, musicology, musicianship, performance, and many others.

This specialized education starts during the formative years of children, wherein they are taught to sing kids’ songs and play toy instruments. From there, it continues to a time in which these children are made to join choirs, glee clubs, and school bands (concert band, marching band, or jazz band) where their basic comprehension of music is further developed.

In a more formal set-up, the study of music can be presented via music classes held inside the classroom. In fact, there are existing colleges and universities that solely offer music-related courses. They offer several degree options for those serious enough to take their music education up a notch. Those who venture in this endeavor can become professional musicians, music teachers, and studio technicians, among others.
