How the FUCK am I supposed to play both hands separate from each other?

sheet music, more like cheat music

What's harder, piano or drums?

>be instantly good a it
>hands hurt after 5 minutes

god dammit

How the FUCK am I supposed to have the patience to spend months learning to read sheet music and obtuse music notarion when I can just google "[vidya song] + synthesia" and get playing immediately?

you're not playing them separate user, they are always together. just imagine like it's one big hand. you'll get there

drums are so easy even niggers can do it

absolutely no reason lmao
unless you want to get a job that involves using sheet music

Keys are so easy even blind niggers can do it.

got to build the muscles up like anything else

pretty sure it's carpal tunnel

niggers play piano too so?

Music is a language. Dont want to learn it? fine, but dont pretend to be a musician either

because he doesn't need to see music, he feels it

Sheet music actually takes more skill than just memorising how to play a song.

Current repertoire music anons?

I am average IQ and I managed to play at professional level...it's just practice...practice...for hours and hours. Start slow until you get it, then once you got it slow repeat it faster. There is no other way around that.

I only write original music and I never practice my songs so, uh, 0.

Can't read the fucking sheet, we need a better way to display songs

the one where i shit in your mother's throat

Sheet music is a dead format, just jump in to the fun part and play music.

I rarely use my left foot on the soft pedal and I've been playing longer than most people here have been alive.
Szymanowski Variation on a Theme in B
Ravel's Miroirs I, II, and IV (I want to learn the rest some day..)
I could probably refresh any of Faure's nocturnes in a day, but I haven't played them in years -- even though I love them all.

videogames?

When you learn a song via a synthesia video, you're essentially just learning which keys to press in which order. So when you want to learn a different song, you'll essentially have to learn everything from scratch each time. With sheet music, you start recognising patterns across various pieces and build up the necessary muscle memory. Eventually you'll get to a stage where you can look at sheet music you've never seen before and play it immediately. Plus learning proper musical notation means you'll also learn different scales and the corresponding chords, which means you can transpose a piece more easily. If you wanted to play the same song starting on a different key, you'd have to relearn the entire song again if you only learnt through Synthesia.

What do you mean you cant read the sheet

Remember to practice your scales

Look at me and tell me it's not fucking retarded, I dare you, feels like ancient egyptian to me, there's gotta be a better way

disgustingly bad take
you don't need to study chemistry or even read recipes to be a good cook
you don't need to learn physics to make sculptures
you don't even need to learn any written language in order to speak it
fuck off with that

What's the hardest vidya you can play?

I know this is a stock image but this was my first piano lol. Learning simultaneous hand playing is the first massive milestone in playing. I feel like it took me at least a month to get to the point where I felt comfortable tackling new pieces with both hands. Just keep working at it diligently user and you will be rewarded for your effort.

play something where you can learn a line with the left then the right, then try putting them together. it just takes time, took me awhile

Practice, just like everything else user. Have patience and play a little bit everyday and you'll get there.
Also have at least a single lesson with someone, so you learn proper posture and don't fuck your wrists permanently a la Toby Fox.

>play guitar
>suddenly, after many years, pressing down strings with my middle finger produces a sharp pain making me loosen up my grip
I want to die.

No, it's a code for the music that only has the important information, which notes and for how long. You just don't know how to read it. Quit throwing a fit and learn something for once, bitch

I dunno man, looks pretty simple to me. You know the different between 8th notes, 16th notes, and grace notes right?

the language of music is the music itself, not notation.

I'd love to learn to play the piano but they're so expensive

a decent electric keyboard can be had for about $400

Nah, I'll invent my own language for music, I can display what notes to play and for how long without retarded hieroglyphics
None of that is in the fucking sheet, you need a lot of extra information outside of it to even start understanding it, fuck you

Play chord with left, play scale with right.
Slooooooooow.
Then faster.
Then switch hands.
Repeat 500 hours to get good.

do it in mspaint right now

Get a keyboard/electric piano, they're not so bad. You can find second hand ones quite easily too. I currently learn using a Yamaha electric piano and while it's not as good as using a real piano it's definitely close enough. Bonus is you can do dumb shit with the sound effects, have it play backing beats, have a metronome etc.

>All muscle memory but there's alot of technique too
actually this
preparing piano music for a recital, concert or exam takes 2~6 months of 8~15h a week muscle memory grind to prepare for

t.was doing piano at university until i got sick of this shit.
i ended up switching to brass instruments because the comparison is only having to have a dootdoot twice a week in the 2 weeks leading up to something in order to be ready

my advice is get a cheap (but not shit) midi controller and pirate some software to use it with, to test the waters. my first keyboard was a korg microkey and it was good enough, and cheap. obviously it's not going to feel like a real piano, but as a cheap way to see if you want to get into it? sure.

>spend months learning to read sheet music
everyone learned how to in school
wtf were you doing for 10 years of music classes in school, eating glue?
everyone even learns 3 instruments as part of the core curriculum

Was learning Rachmaninoff op23 no2 when I stopped taking piano, really want to go back to that at some point but my skill has regressed. Now I just play random video game music or easy songs that I can sing + play like If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All). Did chart all of youtu.be/k9QrvGuzFSA which I'm proud of since I like the piece, but sheet music sites are really anal about their formatting despite letting charts that are like 2 notes on the site.

i live in a normal 1st world country/state that invests decently into it's education system.
you learn the recorder in 3rd grade, the piano/keyboard in 8th grade and the guitar in 9th/10th.
you're given free theory lessons this entire time too
its not my fault a retarded frogposting newfag like you spent all that time eating glue

There you go, just repeat for the whole song

Not him but if your school district isn't absolute garbage there is at bare minimum pianos and recorders teaching like 2nd graders hot cross buns.

Way easier than you think. left hand is mostly for rhythm so it's simpler. Once you become more versed you can more to more complicated stuff

lmao git gud scrub. i was playing with two hands by day two. granted, it was very poorly playing with two hands. but i was able to do it. the trick is to just git gud.

Why do musicfags refuse to improve the pentagram notation and act like you just told them that you will rape their mothers when you bring up the subject?

Well what's wrong with it?

People don't feels seconds as well as they do beats and fractions of beats, and reading words is way too slow. When reading sheet music, you don't actually read note by note, but the distance between then.

is it even possible to learn piano as an adult

this, not to mention instrumental music programs (ie: concert bands, wind bands, marching bands, jazz bands, orchestra) and free 1-on-1 music lessons are required, as well as free instrument loan programs for poorfags who cant afford $200 for a clarinet/trumpet or $5 for a pair of drumsticks

Hey jackass, what key are you in?

ive been self teaching piano for a year and a half and i cant fucking stand sheet music. you know what's really funny about sheet music? to notate key changes you have to fill measures with a fuckload of accidentals like double, triple, and quadruple flats or sharps. yeah, imagine having to go "shit, okay so I need to raise this by 4 semitones or 3? fuck, what am I supposed to do?"

It's really not that hard to learn. I have yet to see a new way of writing down music to be easily translatable to anyone in the world. This is it, right here.

Fuck everyone in the world, I just need an easy way to understand it myself

110% yes. the only thing you miss out on by doing it later as an adult is the raffle to enter the lottery for perfect pitch. and even then perfect pitch is genetic so odds are you wouldn't develop it even if you were playing an instrument in the womb. besides, people with perfect pitch are fucking retards. tell them to listen to something and they can recreate it perfectly by ear but tell them to transpose it into a different key by ear and its like they have no idea what a musical instrument even is. if anything, as an adult you are better off because you KNOW what you want to learn and you have the foresight to understand that spending hours practicing scales and arpeggios is important. unlike when you're a kid when all you want to do is play something cool but devote none of the effort or practice to really learn how.
