Post your piano/keys stuff here. Ripping some Chopin, Beethoven, Bartok, or whoever? Love it. Just got a new Hammond and rotary speaker and want to show it off? Can't get enough of it. Got a band with a really awesome keyboardist, and want to show them off? Gimme it. Stuck in the orchestra pit with nothing to do for three hours waiting for your one moment of celesta glory on The Magic Flute? I feel your pain. Just discovered Oscar Peterson and want to share your astonishment? Fam, same. Learning piano and got noob questions? I'm here for it. Got an original DX7 and want to show us all how to program new voices? I've actually never figured that out, can you teach me too?

Rules:

  1. Don't be a jerk.
  2. Self-promotion is encouraged, but try to also post stuff that isn't you.
  3. Be cool about giving and receiving feedback. When in doubt, see r1.
  4. Having fun is mandatory.

Really enjoying Melodics -- had my midi keyboard for a couple of weeks now, and am doing some lessons at what they call "Grade 5". Which is really still very simple, but I haven't touched a keyboard in 30 years, so it's been super helpful!

It's like Duolingo and Guitar Hero hard a baby.

Probably better than wasting my time playing video games anyway ;)

I've been looking to buy the FP-30X for some time now. However, I don't live in the west. The prices here range between 1300 to 1500 USD. When I looked on foreign websites, the prices were around 800-900 euros. Can anyone residing in EU or NA confirm this? Thanks.

Always wanted one. This is the entry level baby keyboard -- Native Instruments makes much fancier ones. But it came with a bunch of software instruments, and an Ableton Live Lite license, so... Hard to beat the price ($360CAD).

Going through Melodics -- I last took a piano lesson over 30 years ago and the fingers are a bit slow. As you can see by the graph, it's taking a while to get through some lessons with 100% :)

I'm a novice composer, any feedback, no matter how negative, is welcome, I won't take it bad, I won't be offended.

I hope there will be positive feedback too though :-D

Hello everyone,

I am learning piano for the first time. I have been a musician for 25 years or so, entirely on brass instruments. I can read music (mostly bass clef) and I recently bought myself a casio piano keyboard with the intention of learning how to play more "complete" music than I could on my euphonium.

I can fiddle around on my horn and recreate any melody I hear, but it would never be complete chords or a melody with a harmony all at once. The piano seems like what I want in order to achieve that goal. Right now I am trying to nail down the muscle memory required to play both hands at once, and also fiddling around with the muppet show theme song. I'll likely be back to post what tutorials work for me and maybe even some of my progress!

Want to finally learn jazz theory with the goal of being able to improv a little and/or play with others. Any online courses you'd recommend?

This website allows you to connect your midi instrument and play with people all together.

It's quite fun, with moments of silence, chaos, and wonderful music

I've got homework on very old paper score, then have found poor old pdf on internet(it was a real quest for hour!), then made digital version of it. Just want to share it with everyone:

Is it reasonably possible for one person to remove caster cups, roll a wheeled baby grand a few feet out of the way on a hardwood floor, and then roll back and replace caster cups?

An incredibly beautiful piano solo arrangement of the well known Studio Ghibli’s “Howl’s Moving Castle” soundtrack.

In fact, this channel has a lot of incredible arrangements and transcriptions. Highly recommend taking a look!
