The piano might be one of the easiest instruments to learn, but learning how to sing and play piano at the same time can be a really difficult experience even for seasoned musicians. In particular, students who\u2019ve had an extensive music-reading background on the piano often find it especially difficult to transition from playing the material they read off the page to singing while playing the keys. In this article, we\u2019ll give you some helpful tips on how to sing and play piano at the same time. You\u2019ll need to know basic rhythm reading skills to get the most out of this article.<\/p>\n

Keep it simple (for now)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"sing
Adding vocals to your piano playing is a great way to add a new dimension to your performance!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you want to master the skill to sing and play piano at the same time, it\u2019s essential that you start by choosing simple chords or even single notes to play on the piano. This material should be played at a slow and steady pace. We\u2019ll start by giving you an exercise that has you playing and singing a single note with your left hand in unison. If you know you\u2019re at a more advanced level than this, feel free to skip this part and check out the second half of the article. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sing the note name \u201cC\u201d four times and then sing \u201cF\u201d four times. The rhythm you\u2019ll sing and play here is simple quarter notes in a 4\/4 time signature. <\/span>
\n\"sing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve mastered singing and playing a single note, replace the single notes with C and F major chords. Continue to sing the same note names.<\/span>

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Developing independence between your voice and hands<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

So far, the exercises we\u2019ve shown you have developed your skills of singing and playing in unison. These exercises are designed to introduce and develop the skill of independence between your voice and hands. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sticking with the same C and F from the previous exercise, play C and F major chords in one hand with half notes while singing the chord names in quarter notes. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of rhythms to sing and play with when you feel ready.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"singing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve worked on creating independence between your voice and hands we can add an actual vocal melody into the exercise. Singing over the same C and F major chords, you\u2019ll now sing a simple 4-note melody. For these notes you can sing \u201cDo-Re-Mi-Re\u201d or any other syllables you prefer. Feel free to experiment as you gain confidence. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"solfeggi<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve mastered these exercises, take some time experimenting with different chords, melodies, and rhythms. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Branch out to singing over separate parts between the left and right hand<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played piano for a while we don\u2019t need to tell you that the left and right hands usually play separate, independent parts. This can make learning how to sing and play piano at the same time a challenge. Like with the unison exercises, it\u2019s best to start by playing simple chords and melodies and add on more complex material as you progress. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The left and right hands are typically responsible for doing different jobs when it comes to playing the piano. The left hand is usually responsible for providing bass notes, melodies, and sometimes full chords. The right hand normally plays chords and melodies. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This exercise has your left hand playing root bass notes while the right hand plays full C and F major chords. This example is played in unison, but take some time trying out different rhythms.<\/span>
\n\"piano<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our last exercise has your left hand playing root and 3rd bass notes with simple major chords with your right hand. Experiment with singing and playing the same chords with different basslines. <\/span>
\n\"piano<\/p>\n

Choosing a song to sing and play<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve mastered these exercises, it\u2019s time to think about what sort of song you\u2019d like to sing and play. Even if you\u2019re an advanced player, it\u2019s a good idea to look for a song that features simple chords played at a moderate pace. Coldplay\u2019s piano ballad \u201cThe Scientist\u201d is a great choice because it\u2019s an easy introduction to singing over independent parts in the left and right hands. The right hand plays simple chords while the left hand plays bass notes set to a syncopated rhythm. <\/span>
