Explanation
A piano is a musical instrument that produces sound when its keys are pressed. Each key is connected to a string inside the piano, and pressing the key makes the string vibrate. Pianos are used in many types of music, from classical to modern songs. People play the piano by using both hands, and sometimes feet, to create melodies and chords. It is commonly used for learning music because it clearly shows musical notes.
