so i just started playing piano about 4 or 5 months ago,and i have been using sheet music to learn songs but i was wondering jow do you play two notes "tied" together?you know a "tie".i read on wikipedia that you play the notes as one note.does that mean i play them at the same time or what?also any tips on playing with both hands? i can do some songs but i have trouble learning.

Just wondering if you're confusing ties with slurs.

Explanation of ties: http://www.8notes.com/school/theory/dots_and_ties.asp
Explanation of slurs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slur_%28music%29

Let's know!

a tie is is two OF THE SAME NOTES (as in an A tied to another A, or a G tied to another G) and u play these notes as one note. a slur looks the same except its two different notes that you play one after the other (not at the same time) very smoothly and connectedly. i think i got the melody thing to work; if i did, the first one is a tie, the second is a slur. see how they look they same except for one has the two same notes and the other changes?

<Added>

i dont think it worked; anyway the notes didnt come up on my screen :(

A tied note is played as one note. for example. A quarter note tied to another quarter note should be played like a half note.

Or a half not tied to a quarter note should be held for three beats instead of 2.

To help, my teacher drew a line through the tied note to help me remember not to play it. Anyway good luck.

I started playing with both hands after my fourth lesson. I found it quite easy but everyone is different
