Hello!

I am looking for sheet music for Milt Buckner "The Beast". It is a jazz piece with piano and hammond organ. I tried to find it online but so far I was only successful in finding the first page. Does anyone know if there are digital or non digital sources for that song specifically? I am in Europe by the way, but I would also order from other parts of the world if necessary/possible.

Thanks in advance!

On youtube and tik tok i see ppl play the bass clef intro F# C# F# but on the music sheet it say F# C F

Ive tried plenty of grand/upright pianos that i fell in love with, so im trying to pick a digital piano that is very close to the action of that an acoustic piano and is also cheap. i have 3 options

Roland FP10: 39,000php
Alesis Prestige Artist: 32,400php
Alesis Prestige: 26,200php

These three has a 6k pesos difference in between (it also takes me 2 months to save up 6k)

Is the 6k difference in price really worth it? Especially the key action? or should i get the Alesis Prestige for 26k?

Hi, I'm curious if people want sheet music of piano pieces they hear on Spotify. I know it depends on the music, but my question is more in general. When you like a piece you hear, neoclassical, would you want the sheet music for it, to play it yourself? Or do you just want to listen. Or maybe think you can't play it?....

Apparently in the song I’m playing, the note sounds like a c, but on the sheet music it appears as d, basically everything is lowered down one

I bought a Roland Go Piano 61p but it doesnt have very many keyboard sounds and the ones it has are not great. Is there a simple way to get more tones and load them n there? I have tried the cloud management software but I am so confused.

Wanting to learn how to play piano again. I found a Casio CT-X700 (I know only 61 keys and no weighted keys) but I'm just learning. Thing is I can get it for $50 but he says the volume is stuck and won't go past like 70%. Would I be wasting my money to buy this ?

Because my English is not very good, I used Google Translate to help me convey it to everyone.

And now we will get to the main issue, I understand the 12 minor and 12 major keys and am doing this exercise legato, slowly. I'm curious if this type of exercise requires pursuing speed or practicing with a metronome. Anyway, I'm having some difficulty determining a specific practice direction for this type of finger exercise.

Looking forward to everyone's comments and help, thank you very much!

So someone's selling a kawai (yes kawai, not Yamaha) p135 for around 175 nearby and I've looked it up, it apparently has weighted keys, only 76 of them though which shouldn't be a problem for now. I can't find any other information on this, strange considering all the marketplace listings of this. I need a bit more clarification to see if I should even think about spending money on it or if it's built in with some kind of self destruct mechanism or something and I know that there's probably someone out there who can share their experience on this piano.

Hey everyone!

I’m junior in high school and I’ve played the piano for a few years now and I heard a couple people say that the American Protege competition was fairly easy to win and not too much of a big deal so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try my hand at it. Any tips? They ask for YouTube links to past competitions but I haven’t done much competitive work recently besides small music festivals with my local music center. I don’t think videos of me were posted to Youtube. Can anyone tell me what they linked to that section?

hopefully the title makes sense. i have an audition coming up that requires me to be able to play, comp, and solo over 4 different tunes. if i have 4 hours a day for practicing, should i spend 1 hour on each tune a day for a month? or should i only work on one tune a week, but for 4 hours each day?

I've tried to search here for people in my position, but couldn't really find much that was helpful, so bear with me please.

I took lessons as a kid and learned the basic form OK, but wasn't disciplined or particularly good at it so I dropped it. Tried again as an adult, firstly with lessons and then with albert's books. The lessons taught me some neat theory stuff about rock/pop, so it was helpful in that way, but I can't say it actually improved my playing. It was more like learning about highway driving etiquette while struggling to operate a steering wheel. It's always felt like there's a mental block preventing me from actually doing anything on the keys, best shot is just memorizing the chords and a basic melody for a single song, then trying anything else feels like it's back to square one. I'd love to have the skill of playing songs from chords without struggling to conceptualize the key layout every time, but I don't feel like simple practice is actually helping me.

Anyway, any advice or anecdotes regarding adults who particularly struggle on piano would be great.

I would like to self-learn the piano, however I do not know what path to take. I know just how to play some songs, but I feel like a parrot, in the sense that I am pushing the keys without actually knowing what I am doing.
Is there a good book that can guide me through the process of learning piano and being proficient at it? I read some recommendations online but I am not sure on what to do.

Thank you!

Hello,

I have am looking at purchasing a piano for my kids so they can learn. After reading a fair bit I still have a few questions. I understand weighted keys is essential and FP-10 is considered the best bet for beginner however I have run in to a complication:

1. I personally would love to dabble and play funky stuff like clavinet or stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkhiBO3bBzE&list=RDQMRxPt2Rlm3Zg&start_radio=1 Is it possible to get this kind of tone/effects like wah etc. through anything with weighted keys that is affordable.

2. If nothing like option 1 is available, then is there something with weighted keys that can connect to the computer and get software to play? I went to my music store and they aavised against FP10 and suggested Yamaha p225 or roland fp30x. To be honest fp30x sounded super and is available used at the price = new fp10. The sales person told me fp10 has 1 headphone, 1 pedal compatibility and limited pc connectivity.

Is there something that I can get my kkids and dabble in myself without wasting money? Ideally, I would like a piano/keyboard that we don't grow out of for 3 years at least. Please help.

Im really struggling to pick a maj. Im not really good at anything. Barely good at piano but i really want to know more about piano and play it more and more.

Its stressful for me because ive only been playing piano for about 2 months and guitar for about 2 years but i put all my focus towards piano. Right now i only want to play piano as a hobbie but its the only thing im interested in.

Idk if a music ed maj is something i want become i seriously suck at explaining things and i hate being in front of people. Im extremely introverted so i dont think teaching kids music is something i should do. As for music performance maj. As far as i know, you play a lot in front of people and tbh idk if thats what i want either. Its really confusing to me because i seriously dont know what i want to be.

My cousin wants me to try biology maj with him but i dont think im smart enough for it at all. He wants me to be with him because we both think it would be cool to study the same thing together. But idk. Im really stressed because the only thing im passionate about is music but im not even good at that nor do i have the experience of being in a band or teaching.

What books should I do? I'm doing Hanon 1-10 everyday, 20 minutes of scales and 20 minutes of arpeggios. What are some technical books i can start working on? Schmitt, pischna? Maybe there's something more beginner-oriented. Thanks..

I have tried everything. I bought a FAT32 USB and tried to record it. But when I playback the music it sounds so horrible.

I also tried the audacity method, connecting the 1/4 stereo to my macbook pro but the audacity is not detecting any sound. What should I do????

Could someone give me their opinion on these compositions? Any advice? These are my first 4 compositions, I haven't done anything else.

Hiya! Wanted to share this performance + sheet music video I made playing the remarkable 3 Sarabandes composed by Erik Satie in 1887. With the gradual change of seasons, I feel like October is the month for busting out the Satie pieces, anybody else playing any this month?

This is mainly for fun, my performance is fine, not perfect, but I enjoyed the challenge. I admit I got a little carried away on the editing and I hope it's not too distracting! It's a weird time and so is Erik Satie. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I have decided to teach myself piano this year, and I just needed some guidance if anyone could help! I used to play clarinet, so I can read music (just need to go over that and get back into it haha) but I wanted to ask if there was any way for me to play “Jersey Giant” on the piano, but as the guitar part. Would I have to get the guitar music sheet (or tabs) and then switch them to piano chords? Does anyone by any chance have that already? I’m not sure the best way to go about this but I appreciate the help, thank you!!!
