My piano arrangement of my favourite track from the soundtrack! The whole album is totally underrated

@coreomajoris (and anyone else if they're interested) here's a link for the sheet music

Well here it is. The moment you've been waiting for.

Goncharov. is. out.

why is it that listening to bach can be an almost heavenly experience but playing bach feels like im playtesting a new circle of hell

Can’t stop watching this

Hello to all my fellow musicians out there! Please reblog or comment on this post with a life lesson you learned from studying music.

As a singer, I have learned that the things that look simple can often be the hardest to master.

Please tag a musician friend :) @babinicz

Thank you!

As a musicologist, I've learned how much you can do, even if you're not a professional musician. Your researches can change a lot.

As a singer, I've learned that singing isn't "a natural thing so it should be easier than any other instrument". IT IS NOT!

It’s never too late to start (or start again), and don’t worry too much about technique or details, just make sure you enjoy it first.

Anything is doable if you want it enough and

1. Get a good teacher

2. Do as you’re told

3. Work super hard and consistently, focussing on the things you’re told to work on, every day

gets startlingly good results

Life lessons? Let me see:

Tagging: @musicallymike @mollyravioli @piano-flute @theotaku-pianist @jean--valswan @broken-academia @scarletlich

1. Studying music doesn't have to be performance

2. Don't put up with having a bad teacher. It will just make you feel miserable about playing.

3. Don't overdo it. If you get injured, it can take ages/maybe never to get better. Look after yourself. Take breaks when you need to

6/8 is the best time signature don’t @ me

9/8 is the best I’ll @ you

see I’d agree with you except I absolutely hate counting in three

Wtf do you do in 6/8 then? 3s make either much easier

nope nope nope!

lol how would counting in 3s make 6/8 easier? 😂😂

how does counting in 6s make it easier??

I *believe* OP likes 6/8 because you count with 2 beats per bar, so you’re counting in 2s. 9/8 however would have 3 beats per bar, so you’re counting in 3s.

correct. I really like triplets and they’re easier in twos. DUH-duh-dah DUH-duh-dah makes me happy :)

Not gonna lie, 7/8 is my jam. Preferably when it’s 2+2+3, but the others are fine

you all are problematic

There is a monster in this music community…

I have to play something in 1/1

I got a piece yesterday that is written in 32/44

Can we all agree though that 5/4 is cursed?

yes and also 2/2 time is fun to count

i agree with OP 6/8 is the best

^only valid comment

YOURE ALL WRONG

5/4 is the best

How about 5/4 then ¾ then 6/8 Third Suite style

MY FRIEND MADE THIS POST BETTER

4/8

Fight me, you heathens

5/4, ¾, and 6/8

12/8 is the superior /8 time

Although honestly most of these are pretty cool until you have alternating bars

Mahler what the hell is this

Love me a g natural flat

me: it’s just to cancel a double-flat

also me: hee hee flatural

I never understood the purpose of a double flat/double sharp. Isn’t that just a whole step, and if so, can’t they just notate the note as so?

@i-cant-believe-its-v it’s essentially music grammar, in much the same way that if you had a piece that was in a flat key but there was an accidental that was an F# you would notate it as a Gb because the key signature is in flats, does that make sense?

Not really? Like I understand the F# / Gb difference. However, if I’m in the key of Eb, notating a Gb as Abb seems unnecessary to me

I play guitar, I am from a non english speaking country and trying to understand english and music note at once is like 69 000 levels higher than my brain is capable of processing

Not to get even more confusing but it also matters what key you’re in. So in the first picture, say you’d started in D minor then modulated to G minor, which has 2 flats but also often has an F sharp, then using an F# would be much better than using a Gb. So it’s not really about the key signature but about the key the piece is currently on regardless of the key signature

I think there are some situations where double flats make sense:

Personally, I find the second one easier to read, it’s less messy and gives the shape of the music.

(They’re still weird though)

Favorite annotations in my new trumpet part

Amazing, I love The Addams Family. I played piano for this, and some of our directions made me laugh as well:

I think they want me to play a gliss.
