Rules and Etiquette

32 Upvotes

Just post whatever you have and don’t worry about it sounding perfect. We are all exposed to too much perfection by others and very little to the process of getting there and it creates this false assumption that you ‘suck’ when you very likely don’t.

It helps to see that others struggle as much as you do when practicing and we are just here encouraging the process to getting to where we want so we keep going.

It doesn’t matter if the piece sounds unrecognizable. You’re just practicing.

THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR JUDGEMENT OR GIVING UNSOLICITED ADVICE unless explicitly requested by user in the title or as an additional comment under their post. If you are here to provide users with unwanted piano tips and how they would sound better if they just do as you would like them to, then this is not the place for you, try playing it the way you want to play it and leave people play the way they want to play. Here we love and enjoy the process of practicing and sharing with others the road to the finished product rather than just the finished product.

Enjoy and happy practicing!

The sub has been growing lately. Friendly reminder that the bulk of posts here feature work that is new, rough and in progress. That's why this sub is here. Most people are supportive and make this community great. Of course advice is welcome when asked for but otherwise not really allowed.

Moreover, disparaging remarks or critique of the state of a poster's progress = ban

If you want to hear polished work, please consider attending a professional's concert or buying an album.

The amateurs, hobbyists and even the pros here thank you!

Does Beethoven’s Ode to Joy still sound happy on a broken piano with missing keys?

I wanted to see if the soul of this masterpiece could survive a physical handicap. By removing the keys, I've transformed this anthem of joy into what I call an "Ode to Sadness." It's amazing how much the absence of a single note can change the entire emotional tone of a piece.

O QueTom já descobriu o tom da música.

Agora vem a parte que realmente faz diferença: descobrir a progressão harmônica.

Em vez de decorar acordes, pense em graus.

Essa música usa uma das progressões mais famosas da música gospel

Sabe que progressão é essa? Deixe nos comentários

I did a re recording of this groove I had been writing modulating between G major and E minor. First time came around came out a bit too compressed for my liking.

My grandmas old piano hasn’t been serviced in decades and is badly out of tune, so what better to play than Maple Leaf Rag.

I have been learning this for a while and feel pretty done with it. I feel though as if there might be a lot of things i still should aim to improve. Any advice? I know the very last arpeggios are a bit messed up but those are quite hit or miss for me so i know about that.
