I’m glad to hear that you are into Music for Movies as well I have a tendency to think orchestra when I try to compose already today

I like your process of letting others hear your music and after that to hear from them what they felt or pictured themself. It’s a great way to get feedback on your Music for Movies, and you can also learn how people react to the different sounds and melodies and so on. Could be an interesting study in psychology

Thank you so much for sharing your favorite “movie-chord”. It certainly sounded good and could work well in a movie soundtrack. I’ll be very interested in seeing this chord played in all its variations soon

First let me tell you that I can feel a lot of enthusiasm about the project, and thanks to all of you for that.

1.- I have been trying to learn by myself piano since march of this year, but I haven’t practicing regularly. I learned the basic mayor notes, scales, triads, the minor notes, and some blues basics such as the 12 bar progression. I learned the piano intro of a song made by Genesis, hearing it out by ear. Just as a side comment, I have been also playing guitar for about 10 years, bass guitar for 1 year, and drums for 3 years.

2.- I am most interested in learning and know by heart the scales and notes of any kind, so that I feel I am able to add piano to a tune. I want to be able to accompany the right hand notes with the correct left hand notes in the piano. Piano would help me compose better songs relate better to the guitar sounds.

3.- I love Rock, classic rock, progressive rock and a bit of grunge. Classic music has also its charms. I admire and like jazz and blues of course. I like Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Rush, The Beatles, The Who, Gentle Giant, Al Di Meola, Coldplay, Radiohead, Spocks Beard, Kevin Gilbert, etc.

Well, i’ve been playing piano for about 6 months, but even tough i can play a lot of music sheets, i can’t improvise or compose yet, and that’s what i’m looking for, specially since i started college and realized that a good short film has great music, and since the piano can give a lot different moods to a song, all i want to do is composing the music for my own short films…

i like all kind of music, so i play wahtever comes to my hands… from classical music, Bach is my favorite here, to contemporary music as pop, jazz or blues, being coldplay, alicia keys and evanescence my favorites…

Finally, i just want to thank you and your team for developing such a great website, where you can find real help with piano issues.

Best wishes from Colombia,

Well, i’ve been playing piano for about 6 months, but i’m kind of frustrated becuase i can’t improvise or compose freely yet, i have to read the notes from the music sheet and that’s not what i’m looking for, so i’d like to learn how to compose and improvise, that’s what i’m looking forward to.
I like a lot of music, so i play a lot of music as well, everything from classical music, Bach is my favorite here, to pop and that kind of stuff, a have several favorites here like coldplay, evanescence, alicia keys… and so on

lastly, it’s very good that we can find everything about piano lessons/teaching in a single website, and even more important a community that can really help you with piano issues just by making a post (… not like other sites)

so thank you for having such a great idea and developing the site.

Piano rules!

Question 2:

I would like learning composition and mainly to know the music structure in order to get skills to play someone song.

Quiestion 3:

I like all kind of music but specially classic, romantic and religious music

I am very interested on the course and I have a logic question: How much it cost?

Thank you because WEBs like that actually are what the world need

I like your goal of composing for orchestra, I think it’s like the next step after composing for piano . Composing and improvising are really rewarding

Regarding your music preferences, I also like many varied styles, but you surprised me with your interest on “music for movies”.
Lately, I have been much into that, and it’s actually one of the types of music I most enjoy regarding composing.

My last two compositions are actually meant to be music for movies. What I like to do is to think of a scene, the plot, characters, and a story, and then create a music piece that transmits all of that…

So in this way, what I love to do with some special people is to tell them an introduction to a short story that describes a scene and then play the song for them. Then I ask them afterwards what did they imagine and how did the story end for them. For me, this way of transmitting my emotions through my compositions has been one of the most rewarding experiences, as I get to know if the listener really felt the same emotions I meant to transmit.

Let me share with you one of my favorite ‘movie’ chords:
This one is actually a minor Eleventh Chord, with 6 notes, but played in a very particular voicing, separated by Fifths, which gives it a very intresting sound.

Play the following notes in this order:

C – G – D – Eb – Bb – F

In this way, the chord covers two octaves. Then try playing the same chord type in keys C, F, and G, and play them in arpeggio form.

You’ll get to listen to a lovely melancholic sound that would fit really well in a Movie Soundtracks.

If you’re intrested, soon, I’ll share with you the piano keyboard images of this chord, it’s recording, as well as how to play it the different keys.
There is also a major version, which has a really interesting and bright sound.

I have used both in my compositions so I hope they become helpful to you

Stay in touch and thanks for answering the questions!
Cheers!
Rod

P.S: Stay tuned as on October 5th at 4pm EST Time – less than two weeks- the first Piano Lesson Report will be released!
