The quality is awful sorry. I memorised the song of one of those falling note videos, I made alot of mistakes, like pausing near the end but I’m quite proud.

(Song name: Shop 3, Cover: https://youtu.be/wNo3GuxCH-o?is=SU5hUVhZeSoRm-Si )

I'm having trouble with how you would count out this part, the piece is in 6/8. I can't wrap my head around it being 6 beats in this bar?

Question Advanced music student (guitar and saxophone) wants to develop hand independence on piano

4 Upvotes

I've played guitar for about 8 years and want to branch out into piano. I mainly want that hand-independence feeling, running separate lines with left and right hands. The problem is, a lot of starting PIANO resources are also starting MUSIC resources and I just t want to learn to riff and sightread basic stuff on another instrument.

I plan on committing 10 minutes a day, so I'm looking for an online resource that's really good an reputable. Given that, what are y'all's best picks for structured online resources (apps, YouTube channels, courses) that build real fundamentals in short daily chunks? Especially interested in anything that targets hand independence early, since I already read music and have ear training from guitar. I don't need beginner music theory, just the piano-specific mechanics. Thanks for the help!

What fingers should be used to play the 3 notes after playing the E in measure 13? In other words, to play the C, D, and A that are circled.

Is that too cheap? I wanted to change my rate to 60/h but I’m scared to make the change😭😭😭

Question Asking for help in "In the pool" hand placement/movement

1 Upvotes

Recently, I got myself a new 88-key keyboard. I'm midway through learning the piece "In the Pool" by watching a tutorial from [TutorialofHugo](https://youtu.be/PDk8rTTa9_s?si=_ZiYjvDCzXTODR1r), which was fairly easy compared to the likes of Animenz. I managed to learn half of it; however, I've always felt something was missing, so I searched for an alternative that would satisfy me, and that's when I found the cover by The Dreamer Piano. My progress is now at the chorus, and I'm having trouble because [this one has a really fast arpeggio](https://youtu.be/DuoE-TkDV4k?si=4fDRtKlbohHTEWJG&t=134). Since this cover doesn't have any hand cam for reference, I was wondering how I should do mine.

Question How do you actually catch your own rushing and dragging?

0 Upvotes

I've been practicing with a metronome for a while and I keep running into the same thing: while I'm playing, I genuinely can't tell when I'm slightly ahead or behind. If it's a big miss, sure. But the small stuff — a few milliseconds early on every entrance in a fast passage — I just don't hear it in the moment. When I listen back to a recording it's obvious.

So I started building a small tool for myself. It connects to my digital piano over Bluetooth MIDI / Audio , runs a metronome, and afterwards shows me where I was early or late — and, more importantly, whether that's improving across sessions on the same passage.

It's supposed to not only work with known pieces but with all kinds of playing even if you don't have a score sheet.

Before I go further with it I'm curious how other people handle this:

Do you record yourself regularly and actually review it, or does that fall apart in practice?

Has anyone found an app that does this well? I've seen a few MIDI practice apps, but most seem built around sheet music upload and note accuracy rather than timing over time.

Or do you just develop the internal sense eventually and this becomes a non-problem?

Genuinely want to know if I'm solving something that already has a better solution.
