It starts from the very basics, buying a piano and music theory, until an intermediate level. This book gives you a basic frame to work with. Piano for dummies is the book I received shortly after I started playing the piano. If you know any other resources, feel free to share them. The list here will put you on your way, but do remind my other post about finding MIDI files. So the question arises, where can I find MIDI files? For instance, they can be used with Synthesia or played directly on your digital keyboard etc. Midi files are valuable resources for piano players. So here goes, I especially like this improvisation of Apologize. If you know any other examples, feel free to share them!Ī lot of people have been asking to add Kyle Landry to this list. In the end, I realize I watch too much instead of playing, wishing I'd be as good as they are. Video example crushcrushcrush by Paramore: Another nice touch is the fact that he includes lyrics. O Iwillbot: This guy covers a very broad area of music with some songs I really really like. Video example Song to say goodbye by Placebo: But then again, I think Placebo is great. O Hildale: A bit less known, but her Placebo piano covers are absolutely great. Nevertheless, I've got a huge amount of respect for him. Very strong versions of mostly R&B songs, which is a bit less my style. O David Sides: I believe he's about the most famous piano player on Youtube.
Video example Aerials by System Of A Down: The way she transcribes metal/rock songs to the piano is unique. O Vika Yermolyeva (Vkgoeswild): A Dutch girl with an alternative style.
I like about all of his videos, but the fact that I'm a Yann Tiersen fan may have something to do with it. In my opinion he's one of the best out there not only with the piano but also with the accordeon. O Dave Thomas: coming from the UK, a real Yann Tiersen lover. This is highly subjective, and I invite you to send your own top 5 of pianists. I've composed an inspirational top 5 for you guys. Synthesia installs and uninstalls without issues.Returning to the core of this blog, there are a lot of great pianists who publish their work via Youtube. We feel like this might be a worthwhile purchase, however, and we highly recommend that people who are interested in learning to play the piano give Synthesia a try and then decide whether you want to shell out for the Learning Pack. The free version of the program does have some limitations you can practice song rhythms or score yourself playing a song, but both sheet music access and melody practice require the purchase of a Learning Pack. The practice interface reminded us very much of Guitar Hero, with upcoming notes sliding down the screen toward the appropriate key. Upon selecting a song, you can choose to play only the right or left hand, play both hands, or simply watch Synthesia play it and follow along. The program comes with a long list of songs that are arranged alphabetically and ranked by difficulty. You can play using keyboard keys, which obviously doesn't do a great job of mimicking a real piano keyboard, or plug in a USB keyboard for a more realistic experience. The program has an attractive, professional-looking interface. This impressive program is part game and part learning tool, and we think it's a great choice for anyone looking to get started playing the piano or improve his skills.
Back in our childhood, learning to play the piano meant sitting next to someone on a bench and plunking out a two-note song called "To the Zoo." We might have stuck with our piano instruction if we'd been doing it with Synthesia.
