What things happen in the brain the day someone masters reading music & piano that will happen everyday and every time they sit at the piano and prepare to read music and play the piano that will allow them to play song after song after song with no mistakes.
You don’t all of the sudden master anything, it takes thousands of hours…and it’s a very slow process.
I’ve looked all over the place and I’m beginning to think that its not out there. I’ve found the recoding of piano music of it but never sheet music. anybody know where i can find sheet music for this song?

I wrote a song a little while back and I’d like to put it to music {the piano because I can somewhat play it} but I’m having trouble doing so. Any advice you can give would be helpful. Thanks.
just bang away at the keys, do something you like, play it by ear, if that does not work, put your cat on the keys and let em walk around, you never know!
i have this book of piano music and at the top are diagrams of guitar chords. i have recently got a guitar and started learning chords but i was really confused about this. i dont know how to read it or anything. can sumone help me?
The book you have is called a "Fake Book". In essence you fake playing the song on the guitar or piano. For instance if you know the song or someone is playing or singing the song, you simply play the chord in the diagram at the point in the song that it is indicated.
My numero uno instrument is the bass guitar but I taught myself how to use the "fake book" to play the guitar and piano.
When you first start using this fake method of playing it will sound choppy and amateurish, however once you get accustomed to it and learn your chords, how to "ventilate" them, open them up, arpeggiate them you will begin to sound like a pro (I play keyboards on a part-time basis with a professional band and they know I don’t know a damn thing about keyboards, but they always come to me requesting my services).
Check out this source referenced and don’t let anybody bust your bubble…. there will be a lot of people coming at you telling you, "you can’t learn to play like that", YES YOU CAN and once you do when you get into the real nitty-gritty of learning music theory it will be a lot easier…
CHEERS
You know, the very lively and fast paced piano music they play in western themed movies and cartoons.
I really like that type of music. Does it have a name? I mean, similar music like this that came in the 1910’s 1920’s is called ragtime,
What would the old west piano music be called categorised under?
Thanks
I found a site on the net that advertised an album Old West Saloon Piano. They list the genre as "Country: Western". http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/squeeksteele2 You can listen to some of the samples. …Good Luck…
I am trying to learn the song Falling Slowly from the movie Once. If anyone can find a website where I can print off free piano music for that song, I would be extremely thankful.

I play piano for nine years but to this date I’m terrible at memorizing music and only know one (short) piece by heart. Any nice methods or tips for memorizing long pieces of music like those concert pianists do? Maybe not that big, but about four pages of music from Mozart, Debussy, Mendelssohn, and Chopin, to name a few.
In the near future I plan on learning Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
It’s one of the great romantic images…a lone performer, faced with a piano on a bare stage, armed with nothing but memory…and it’s one of the most absurd things musicians put themselves through. But it’s not likely to change soon, so here are a few ideas:
Try memorizing it backward, from the last few measures then working your way forward. This has a couple bonuses – you really get good at the last thing the audience is going to hear from you, and makes it a little more bearable to practice since you are always pointed at the end, which is always fun.
Work slowly – really slowly, with absolute attention. Better to spend ten minutes well than an hour poorly. I personally don’t like to work hands alone since I’ll never be playing the piece that way, and it seems not the best use of my time, but I do know other pianists who use that method to good effect.
There is some science that suggests things do not enter our long-term memory until about 6 hours have passed, and that trying to learn something new before that time is much less efficient than taking a significant break between memorizing sessions. Set a reasonable goal, then let it percolate in your brain until evening, and add a little in that session.
A teacher also once suggested memorizing where on the page certain passages are; I can’t "see" the notes in my head, but I do get a spatial feel to the piece that helps out the purely motor memory of how a piece "feels" under my hands.
And as was mentioned, learn the harmony, the key, the form, etc. The better you understand the construction of a work, the more likely you are to remember the details. If there is time, I’d love to try copying out a work by hand. it’s just like taking notes in school – it makes you focus on the important points that much longer.
I want the flip ultra for recording my piano music that i will post on youtube. Is the ultra any good?
its all about the sound!
If it is all about the sound, then you really want either:
1) A camcorder that has manual audio control and a mic jack
or
2) Any camcorder AND an audio field recorder. A piano can get loud enough to cause a camcorder’s auto mic gain control to overload. The resulting audio clips when recorded to whatever storage media the camcorder uses and will sound bad – under extreme conditions, the clipping will get so bad that the audio just sounds muddy. Neither can be fixed. Most field recorders (like those from Zoom, Edirol, M-Audio, Marantz and others) have manual audio control. When you edit the video, just replace the video’s audio with that which was captured by the field recorder.
To the best of my knowledge, the least expensive camcorders with manual audio control and a mic jack are the Canon HV20 and Sony HDR-HC9. They are a lot more expensive than a Flip Ultra. Sorry.
I’m looking for the piano music for Lou Reed’s perfect day. I don’t mean the sheet music that you can buy online I’m talking about something that you would find on a guitar tab website or something like that.
Try Youtube…there are a lot of song clips on there!
