Please consider giving me a dollar (or however much you like) per music My music, like my covers and tutorials and would like me to create videos and piano sheets on a regular basis,
I'm really excited about this platform since it gives me a channel to which I can stay connected with my loyal fans. I decided to join this wonderful platform called Patreon.
Often, due to the offline work load I have, I cannot post new videos on a regular basis. I could spend hours a day just to think of the arrangement of the cover, practice, record and edit it, let alone for creating piano sheets. To be honest, creating the covers requires enormous amount of time. In my leisure time, I also do another thing that I am very passionate about, transcribing.
As many of you might already know, with the help of Synthesia software I make piano covers on newly released songs, particularly those trending on Youtube and the Billboard 100 chart. Hi all! Thanks for checking out my Patreon page! If you are here now, I would assume you came here from my Youtube channel.
For learning regular notation there are many book courses available (search your favorite torrent aggregator for or some other similar word string).By donating or pledging just $1 per video, now you get an exclusive access to download the sheet music for each tutorial video you support. I think in the short term those could be useful in your situation, but in the long term learning regular notation gives you freedom to play anything you want (rather than learning via visual tutorial on a piece by piece basis). There are so many keyboard tutorials available for so many pieces now (usually featuring a top shot over the keyboard so you can see the hands).
Piano pedagogy has changed dramatically in the recent past due to the advent of youtube.
I do keep my eyes open for piano training games, as I think they could be really useful, but Synthesia hasn't got it right yet.Ĭan you give me any tips on how to practice and learn the regular notation the best way?įor someone starting piano later in life (which I'm guessing is the case for you) my advice is to identify pieces that you really love and then just find a way to play them somehow or other - nothing is impossible, although obviously some pieces need more work than others.
That's clearly the model they worked from when creating Synthesia, but IMHO as a music professor the transfer doesn't work. That's Dance Dance Revolution, an early "exertainment" game where you have to follow on-screen instructions to step on patterns of four (later 8) tiles on a custom gaming mat. I don't know what DDR is, can you tell me? Just due to the screen space available Synthesia doesn't use the entire keyboard of a regular 88 key piano. You mean to tell me I can't even use all keys with the program? The thing is that once you learn to read conventional music notation you have an almost infinite library of works you can read - but the repertoire available on Synthesia is limited, and seems to be dominated by videogame scores (no disrespect intended). To be honest, I haven't used it very much, but my sense is that it isn't a very useful tool for learning piano in comparison to just learning regular music notation - to me at least it seems more difficult than regular notation. Is it really that horrible for practicing?
