This guy Frank Tedesco on youtube has played piano for 17 years now and has developed a very high level of relative pitch and music theory. Very impressive how he listens to a short clip of a song and improvises a version on the piano right afterwards. It would be cool to get to that level with less time spent.
So this field wouldnât help with synthesia ?
man im so tempted to learn sheet music but i just wanna play my favourite songs and i feel like sheet music is gonna take years you know
Itâs intuitive enough if you practice your scales, maybe youâll do a serious reading and trial playing before playing a tune flawlessly. But normal people manage it
Learning music is pretty much scales ! Scales ! Scales !
yeah that sounds good but with synthesia I can play my favourite songs right now where as with sheet music its gonna take me years to learn my favourite songs
Hmm its a hard one because I donât think synthesia is good for the brain as its just pressing down keys u see where as sheet music you learn a lot mroe and use ur brain more
hmmmm
What ??
How did you figure that out ?
well i wont be able to read the sheets for my favorite songs but with synthesia i can pop in the midi and practice it right now
will take me like a few weeks maybe months to learn a piece tho
nah never mind after doing some research, sheet music is superior
time to grind
I had used Duaneâs method years ago. I would then later personalize routines based on this, like when you run on a track and eventually add obstacles or change paths while running. If you know something more efficient, feel free to share.
I acquired this one today. I used this opportunity to take challenges with something I donât do often at the piano; playing along with Synthesia videos.
Summer is coming, even if in my country it seems to be autumn, and with it this yearâs musical course ends in crescendo despite some logistical problems, which made me stop for a month around the end of year holidays.
In the last lesson during the slap exercise, the teacher was surprised to see all the ropes being played with this technique to a much improved extent, including the first two which according to him are the greatest difficulty for those learning; played in the best way for almost the entire lesson, but this result motivated and inspired me even more.
my piano is at another place again! there is not enough space in our apartment for it so i have to play it where always are people around, and this makes me really nervous. i go there every weekend and before i listen to Musically Yours. first time it was a âsuccessâ, everyone enjoyed the background music whatever they were doing. but then itâs even harder to keep the level. i know itâs only in my mind. but again, i was in my own space very quickly, and the hands and fingers remembered what i played decades ago and never again!
i was taught very old school piano lessons. witch means NEVER EVER look at the fingers. i would like to look at my fingers, but itâs like a taboo still for me. then i thought, there are great keyboard and piano players who are blind, itâs ok for the hands to feel their way! and they did in a crazy good way for this long time not playing anymore!
after all the lovely Chopin and Grieg, my âprojectâ is to learn Stevie Wonderâs âSuperstitionâ
(i tried before, but i gave up) !
i am really grateful for this because playing music is like a portal to a room of my own, i am motivated again!
