A Brief History:
Origination:  Bartolomeo Cristofori an Italian, invented the piano in the year 1700. It was first called “clavicembalo col piano e forte” which can be translated to “a harpsichord that can play soft and loud noises.” The name was shortened to “piano“. Nils Frahm, a German musician, founded World Piano Day in the year 2015. He chose the date of March 28th, because of the day being the 88^th day of the year because the piano has 88 keys. This fine day also encourages piano players of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to play the piano in public places.

Transition Throughout the Years:  Throughout the years, the piano went from one basic style to many different types. The variations include:

• Vertical
• Spinet
• Console
• Studio
• Upright
• Digital
• Pianola or self-playing piano
• Grand
• Baby grand.

These types of pianos come in a variety of different sizes and colors.

Musical Genre : All musical instruments are grouped together into families. Usually it’s  easy to determine which family most instruments belong in. It is not so with the piano, because it has been classified as a percussion instrument, in the string family, and in both families.

Reason People Love a Piano: There are many benefits to playing the piano, other than just playing the piano just for fun, including the love that the sound the piano makes. Some other benefits include:

• It’s an excellent experience to learn how to read music
• It is a great way to relax even and up to being in a mode of  meditation
• It can sharpen motor skills and improves hand to eye coordination
• It boosts cognitive and intellectual abilities, and improves memory skills
• It’s great for mental and spiritual health, and can ease depression and anxiety

There are many benefits of playing the piano these days, yourself, your family, and. . .

Celebrated: Every March 28^th every year, the 88^th day of the year (to celebrate each and every key on the piano), in order to unite piano lovers worldwide to celebrate the “king of all musical instruments”.
