should i be practising scales too?
how can i improve my 'play by ear' skills? as in, what kind of 'fill-ins' to put.. or any arpeggios .. anything that looks/sounds cool.
I live in Basel, Switzerland, and I am in my 13th schoolyear, one year lasting until my "Matura" (I don't know something comparable in other continents or countries)
And now I'm very addicted of the pianoforum
Is it? I didn't find a lot of other Swiss people here...
Hajimemashite!! Watashiwa boxOFjuixe desu! dozo yoroshiku~! XD wahaha I'm an AMG (Anime MAnga Games)freak. Istarted playing last year~ and I had just passed with distinction fer my grade 1 exam (applause please!) ^_^ I started playing because I wanted to play Fur Elise!! I'm like OBSESSED by it! XD oh yeahh I started playing cuz I wanted to be able to play some anime theme songs and I have these silly notions of wishing to be able to be good at piano so that I can have "freedom of expression" or something like that. Thing is, I want to MAKE something. ANYTHING at all, as long as it's from ME. I draw and write too~ ^_^ the only thing I can't do is sing. Oh yeah, and cook..-__-; which sucks. Piano piano~ dum di dum~ I named mine Shizumasa(elegant) and imagine that there's a spirit posessing it! Lol. Yeah, I'm a freak. The spirit is a keanu reeves look alike who plays Fur Elise over and over again when I stare at my piano. Naturally, i'm the only one who can see and talk to him~So, GREETINGS ppl of pianosreet ! It is I! boxOFjuice! XD Be nice to me ppl!!!
Hi folks, my name is Rob and I'm another person who has been reading this forum for quite a while before joining. I'm 25 have been a casual (lazy!) pianist since I was 7, (with a few years at uni where I was without a piano) but a year and a bit ago, I started listening to 'classical' music (I hadn't before) and came across dozens of pieces I wanted to learn (some easy, some stupefyingly difficult) and as a result I am on a mission to improve rapidly. Fitting this in with jobs and things is proving to be no mean feat however.
How about just Bob Pi?

Has anybody ever composed Pi?
I never implemented this cunning plan though, but if someone else wants to, I'd be fascinated to hear the results.
One question though... how does one decide when to END the piece?
Well, you can work with1/π = 12*Σ (k, 0 to +inf) (((-1)^k*(6k)!(13591409+545140134k))/((3k)!(k!)³*(640320)^(3k+3/2)))
