Electronic Keyboards

Many children start learning music at a young age, for their parents take place great emphasis on music education. People used to play the harpsichord or the pipe organ to study music. However, due to the invention of the electronic keyboards, more and more people accept the idea that we can use this great invention to study music. There are three kinds of electronic keyboards which are well-known and common today.

The most popular kind of electronic keyboard is the digital piano. Its appearance is like a traditional piano, namely eighty-eight keys and three pedals. Many piano students who live in an apartment like to buy it because they can control its volume. For instance, they can practice playing the digital piano by a headphone in early morning or at midnight, and it won’t drive their families or neighbors crazy. Moreover, they can save money and the apartment’s spaces, for it is cheaper and smaller compared with a real piano, and it doesn’t require tuning.

The second kind of electronic keyboard is the synthesizer. If we only take the sixty-four keys from the piano and add control modes, these keys and modes will be like a synthesizer. It is able to imitate thousands of instruments such as guitar, strings, and drums in high quality, so a lot keyboardists like to use it in a band. Another example of the synthesizer is that some composers use it to make music demos before the orchestra begins rehearsing.

The third kind of electronic keyboard is the electone. It has three keyboards, namely a pedalboard, which is the bass, and two manuals. In Japan, the electone is a popular instrument, and the YAMAHA company even set up music schools for it. For instance, many children start learning how to play the electone, for they can understand a variety of instruments in a short time by using their hands and feet. Also, some people want to be a one-man band for pleasure, so it becomes the perfect solo instrument.

In conclusion, three popular kinds of electronic keyboards are the digital piano, the synthesizer, and the electone. Classical musicians still prefer pianos to electronic keyboards because they think that the real piano represents tradition. For the younger generation, they can freely select many kinds of keyboards to study and perform with. Buy a electronic keyboard for yourself, and you will have a lot of fun.

試膽遊戲 The Trap

《試膽遊戲》是世新大學廣電系學生製片，第一次嘗試恐怖片類型，在作曲上吃了不少苦頭，除了要惡補恐怖片情緒外，這次的作曲覺得已經有偏向實驗的味道，算是大大的跨出了一大步！

本片獲 第32屆金穗獎最佳學生作品入圍、行政院新聞局我eye臺灣全民影音創作大賽劇情類銀獎、青年影展優選、臺北縣電影藝術節國際學生影展金獅獎台灣觀摩單元！！

《尊顏》是一部十六釐米學生獨立製作短片，描述大體化妝師故事，相當精彩且感人的小品，夢想夥伴工作室官網內有更詳細的介紹歐。真的很高興能夠參與配樂的製作，這次主要製作三首曲子，弦樂部份則是合成器及midi，怎樣會聽起來更好一點更像一點，還有計算畫面和音樂的時間，每一次的調整都花了很多時間。
