I don't want to spend weeks/months learning gay baby songs. If I just do exercises every day, will I eventually be able to learn something I actually care about?
>>129988114Unless you are talking about classical pieces like some of the harder Chopin/Rachmaninoff stuff then just start learning them now. Most pieces aren't even that hard. Youll get bored and burnt out just doing exercises most likely.
>>129988114practice what you want, no one's forcing you to be the next classical prodigy if you just want to play pop songs. that's why i don't really follow the material here heh
>>129988114There's a history of song books that progress by difficulty because it's a more efficient way to learn. Exercise books though like Liszt's technical studies, usually had teachers prescribe students specific exercises rather than sequentially going through the whole thing. So the normal approach has been music, then relevant exercises and not the other way around. In my experience exercises just don't always transfer to music. For example, try practicing scales then learning a Bach invention. The scales help, but there are other challenges the inventions have that exercises don't seem to cover.
bump bc solidarity with pianists
Who are the best pianists on youtube? I like daj does VGM but he doesn't post much recently
An easy waltz for beginners
>>129990901Nothing against them, but I never understood how people can play these baby songs for 3 years or however long it takes them to be able to read sheets. I just started with songs that are way too hard but I really like and it's way more motivating to be able to learn something that both yourself and other people will enjoy as well. Then again I don't read/learn notes, fuck that overrated noise. Outdated system which holds newbies back for 3 years while they stare themselves blind at twinkle twinkle little star for weeks. II unironically blame the kikes for this. But don't get me started.
Is 24 too late to learn?
>>129991626I'm 33, so no. Unless you want to become a concert pianist, in which case 4 years old is too late to learn.
>>129991573Don't post troll posts outside of /b/
>>129991653I'm not trolling at all, but feel free to stifle your progress by years by 'doing it by the books'. Not my problem. Nobody will notice or appreciate it, the songs you learn will be boring tripe and your progress will be slow as all fuck, but at least you can read notes I guess.
I took piano lessons when I was a kid and it ended up making me not want to learn at all. The teacher would make me play Bachs Invention in C Major over and over, if I made any mistake at all even if it was just my tempo being slightly off from what was written they would make me repeat the whole song. Just turned me off Bach and trying to learn in general.
>>129991686Its not da jooos trying to trick beginners into playing starter songs to improve sight reading. You are just schizophenic/and or a troll.
>>129991900>no argument towards the bulk of the post>just kvetching about muh it's anuddah shoahDon't pop a forehead vein, mister Goldstein.
>>129991573What do you use instead of sheet music then?
>>129992286Piano roll exists.
>>129992327Based Timmy Tencent
>>129991626yes. 24 you should stop trying to do anything just accept being miserable and stop having fun.
>>129993798Well if the Hayler spammer says no then im going to learn out of spite.
>>129991626Age doesn't matter; hand size matters.If your hands aren't at least 9 1/4" from tip of thumb to tip of pinky, don't bother.
>>129993889Hand size doesn't matter. If you have smaller hands just get a smaller sized keyboard or use pedal more/roll chords. There is no way any of you have smaller hands than Yulia Wang who is a world class pianist.
>>129993993>just get a smaller sized keyboardI wish it was that easy.>use pedal/roll chordsSounds like shit.>Yulia WangHammelin mogs her. Guess who has larger hands.
>>129986020Not sure this is the thread for it, but any thoughts on Hania Rani? I think she's a lovely pianist:https://youtu.be/q7ucSisSMnM
>>129994031The point is you can still become a great pianist. So what if you aren't top 100 in the world
>>129991652>I'm 33Ok but when did you start?
>>129994739I started around 3 but didn't take it seriously until like 13 or so
>PIANO COMPLETE BEGINNER 1 YEAR PROGRESS NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE>open video>I've been playing [insert other instrument] for 20 years but I've always wanted to try the piano
>>129995608Just because the exercises are for beginners doesn't mean the fucking person in the video is a beginner you retardYou wouldn't accept driving lessons from a person who has the same amount of driving experience as you would you
>>12999473933. I'm still 33 now. I can play 3 songs by memory and they aren't easy babby songs for noobs either. I'd say that qualifies as 'not too late'.
Trying My Favorite Things with my synth sax. Easier than I thought. I'm nailing this shit
>>129994031No one's forcing you to play 10th with a single hand. Not everybody is born with Rachmaninoff's hands
>>129996982what songs?
>>129997030Playing a tenth with your pinky and thumb doesn't really count if you can't play every permutation of 3 notes in between with your 3 remaining fingers
>>129996982How did you get started?
I now start training my left hand to no longer play octave if the chord shown has 7 in it. So if there's C7 i play C-Bb instead of the usual C-C.Trying Overjoyed and it's incredibly rough.
https://youtu.be/uMiPkTqO6yQThe giant steps improv i can get behind
>>129991652>>129991626There's no reason not to learn piano and start playing in rock bands, metal... pop genres in your 20s.Even jazz.
>>129997032Wind of tranquility, Moonlike smile, and Memories of gurabad all from the Genshin soundtrack. I'm not saying I can play them with perfect dynamics and fingering and whatnot but I can at least play some nice songs.>>129997262Just bought an FP-10 for 400 bucks and got started practicing my first song. Most of my time was/is practicing new or already learned songs so that's definitely something I still need to work on (start practicing scales and whatnot).
>>129998288>Just bought an FP-10 for 400 bucks and got started practicing my first song.With what resources? Just the sheet music?
>>129988114research Vincenzo Scaramuzza and his teaching methods. technique>all playing stupid scales or exercises is worthless.he taught the same passages over and over that emphasized special techniques. just search for that paper written about him and translate it via google or some shit. there are sessions on youtube where you can see the teaching process. pic unrelated.
Running out of songs I actually want to learn and don't know if I should just continue practicing fundamentals or just stick to learning whatever songs I feel like learning
>>130000923you can always develop your sense of harmony with the same songs
>Have synth>Just noodle around in the pentatonic minor while modulating the filter/resonance>Create absolute gloryHeh, nothing personnel pianochuds
>>129986817God if the composers of the 20th century were around they'd think everyone alive right now was a bunch of pansies fags. Real wet handkerchiefs do the 6 don 7 minor 1. That is fucking everywhere, what is wrong with people. Where are your nuts, are they just phone zapped microplastics nuts now
I asked ChatGPT to make me a piano piece and it gave me a midi file which sucked
>>130000080No, synthesia / piano roll.
Is it retarded to learn to play using synthesia?
>>130000493sus chords!
>>130003723no, literally nothing wrong with it if you memorize the song you learned it. Done. Thats all there is to it. How you play is all that matters.learning to read music can be useful though. But just learn something.
>>130003723Yes>No time signatures>No key signatures (good for figuring out the progression)>No tempo markings (yes you can see how fast they're falling in that particular implementation, but to me you lose something over a marking that says e.g. "Quick and Mysterious" and lets you interpret that for yourself. Not to mention something like a rubato marking)>No dynamics, not just f and p but also all the little crescendos and decrescendos that give music its flavor>No accents, staccato, legato>No phrase marking>No repeats, DC Coda etc>No measure numbers (good for communication)>No fingeringsYou're only learning how to press keys like a monkey
>>130003723If you just want to learn a handful of songs then its fine. If you want to become a decent player as a hobby for life then its worthwhile learning to read sheet music
>>130003836>its worthwhile learning to read sheet musicwhy
>>130003847It makes learning songs and practice routines wayyy more efficient and it doesn't take much to learn in the first place.
>>130003941>It makes learning songs and practice routines wayyy more efficientHow exactly?
>>130003950As opposed to synthesia or playing by ear? You actually can see the music in front of you and can take it at your own pace rather then having to keep looping the part over again and slowing it down. If it works for you then its fine, you can still get a long way off it but it wont be as efficient in the long run.
i only attempt to read sheet notes for the notes, fuck trying to figure out the rhythm as well
>>130005231Why would you just straight up admit that you're low IQ?
>>130005258i simply do not like them
>>130005231I never play songs I don't know so I always know the rhythm in my head. I don't know if ill ever really need to learn to read it well. Using a metronome is kind of important though since I always end up playing too fast
