"Hi, my name is Athena Reich, and I'm a singer, songwriter, and music coach here in New York City. In this clip, I'm going to talk about the parts of a keyboard. Here's my keyboard, and these are the keys. This is where the music comes from; the black keys or the white keys. Now, where does the sound come from? Most keyboards have speakers. Here's a speaker on one side. Here's a speaker over here on the other side. Now keyboards; some are heavy, some are light. This is a pretty light one, and this is a stand. This is my keyboard stand which folds up really nicely, and I can take it to gigs. And this is my music stand which comes in or out if I want to use it or not use it, so I can put my sheets, my sheet music on there and I can play my keyboard. So, you've got your keys, you've got your keyboard stand, your music stand, your speakers. This has been Athena Reich for the parts of a keyboard, in New York City."
