Consider the Piano Maintenance and the Sound Projection

In searching for the ideal location for a piano in the home, one should consider two things, maintenance of the piano and sound projection. In this instance, I am assuming that you have an upright piano at home. In which case, understanding that most of the sound from the piano is being projected from the back, as well as how different surfaces reflect sound will help you decide where the best place is to put your piano.

Ideal Place to put your Piano – Against a Solid Wall

Generally, against a solid wall with a small gap in between is simple and ideal for projecting the piano clearly within the house. However, should you wish to get a brighter (potentially more shrill) timbre, consider placing it against a more reflective surface such as glass but do note that there is a possibility of accentuating other undesired sounds too.

Don’t Place Piano by the Window

As much as possible, avoid placing a piano by the window, in direct sunlight as this is a sure way to shorten the lifespan of your piano through warping the wood and wearing out the lacquer. Instead, find a spot where the temperature doesn’t change too drastically even if you have to switch on the air-con. This will not only have less impact on the wood, but also help your piano stay in tune. If possible, position the piano in a carpeted area to avoid moisture seeping into the piano through the floor when cleaning the house (ie mopping), or simply place a carpet beneath it. With a good environment, your child will enjoy the music learning journey.

What is the rarest voice?

A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types.

rochdale.gov.uk - Learn about the countertenor voice - Rochdale Borough Council

A countertenor is a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or mezzo-soprano. The countertenor is the rarest of all voice types. The countertenor was not originally an operatic voice type as historically it was the castrati who would sing the female operatic roles in an age when it was not proper for women to sing in the opera. Instead, countertenors were popular in religious choirs where women were also not allowed to participate. Today the countertenor is arguably the most profitable voice type, mainly due to rarity and lack of competition at auditions. Many baroque operas utilise the countertenor today due to many being written for castrati singers. The opera Giulio Cesare by Handel requires 4 countertenors to replace the castrati singers. Some modern operas also cast countertenors, such as Jonathon Dove's Pinocchio which really showcases the intricacies of the voice type. It's easy to mistake yourself for a countertenor as all male voices have an area in the voice called the falsetto. This is a high pitched area, usually quieter and softer in tone than the main voice. If the singer has trained his falsetto range well it can easily be mistaken for a countertenor voice.
