I "missed" number 3 but I don't agree with their answer so I'm not sure I would call it a wrong answer. You don't have to learn to read music to play piano, plenty of people play by ear.

quote:"Kinda easy but fun."
That is the purpose.
That is how playing the piano should be,
easy and fun.
Easy - not that it doesn't require work, but it shouldn't
be a chore or made too hard.
Fun - so you enjoy it and play more.

Thanks for this quiz!
However, I'd agree that #3 is not accurate, since there have been many non-classical players who can't read music, and what about the blind players? I believe it was Art Tatum, who was legally quite blind, about whom Horowitz said when hearing a recording "No! That's not possible, it's a trick! Nobody can possibly play that many notes!"
For #4, consider that the major scale of the key of F# contains an E#, aka F.
Perhaps a qualifying statement, "normally, the white keys..." or "99% of the time the white keys..."

Yeah, number three was debateable, but I could tell what answer they wanted, so 100% here. Though given that one of the questions asks whether or not you can learn piano by playing baseball, it's not that much of a feat XD

I missed #3, as well, and I, too, disagree, because I learned to play piano by ear before I ever knew notes had names!

I agree 100%, the question was not a good one. Many people can rip a piano apart and can't read a lick of music, so that is not a correct question/answer.

3. to play the piano you need to
o A. learn the names of the keys
o B. learn to read music
o C. have a piano
o D. all of the above

My answer would be "none of the above". You need "access to a piano" nothing more.

6. A piano only has ____ different keys

88 I thought? c1 is different from c2 in my book There are pianos with more keys though... but I don't see the right answer again...

Well if I hadn't read this before I took the quiz, I would have missed it too.

By the time I got to #3, I decided the questions were too dumb to continue. smile

I already had a problem with #2 (and I don't mean about getting it right), and #3 did it. ha
