What is the difference between harmonium and a piano/keyboard?

Question

I know you play harmonium with one hand and use other for pumping air to produce sound. But, my real question is; if you know how to play harmonium would you be able to play piano?

I mean eastern music teachers who play harmonium will they be able to play chords if they were playing a piano? The right hand or whichever they use to play the keys would be swift but will they be able to accompany the other hand to play the chords?

Answer 1

Harmonium and organ have a much lighter touch than piano, so that takes some time to get used to and develop a bit more strength in the hands and elsewhere to play the piano for any length of time without tiring.



If you have only used your right hand on any keyboard, the left hand, physically, will be much more like a child beginner level at the start, and it will take some time to build up any technique before the left hand gets near equal ability as the right.



The keyboard and the notes are exactly the same of course, so it is only beginning to move the left hand that is the big difference.





Best regards

A: The touch required for piano is different from harmonium. Technically yes, you will be able to play piano but you won't play it well.
