pdurbin: check out http://makingmusicfun.net/htm/printit_piano_sheet_music_index.htm if you want some simple piano pieces |
| 03:25 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: ah, yes, I believe this has come up in google searches. thanks |
| 03:26 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: have you ever heard of abc notation as an alternative to lilypond? it was just mentioned here: http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2014-02-23 |
| 03:26 |
|
pdurbin |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_notation |
| 03:26 |
|
aditsu |
nope |
| 03:27 |
|
pdurbin |
I was just looking at http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/37345/set-music-in-latex-with-abc-or-lilypond |
| 03:27 |
|
pdurbin |
the music at http://waterpigs.co.uk/music/ seems to be rendered by http://abcjs.net |
| 03:28 |
|
pdurbin |
anyway, I'll probably stick with lilypond. it seems quite capable |
| 03:29 |
|
aditsu |
probably a lot more capable |
| 03:29 |
|
pdurbin |
it's newer |
| 03:30 |
|
pdurbin |
and was created out of frustration with how awful computer-generated scores looked |
| 03:30 |
|
aditsu |
haha |
| 03:31 |
|
aditsu |
oh, I wanted to show you something: first, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf2accwGEaU |
| 03:32 |
|
aditsu |
(my jaw really dropped to the floor when I first watched it) |
| 03:32 |
|
aditsu |
what's really crazy is that he's just fiddling around, not performing |
| 03:33 |
|
pdurbin |
this is a warm up? crazy |
| 03:33 |
|
aditsu |
and now the kicker: some guy did this: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o7rc6oyn5kbxllz/Np5YxqN_YK/Cziffra%27s%20Improvisation.pdf |
| 03:34 |
|
aditsu |
and you can watch it along with the music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF-Ix0k60ts |
| 03:39 |
|
pdurbin |
sorry, looking a bit at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Cziffra first |
| 03:39 |
|
aditsu |
he's one of the "greats" :) |
| 03:41 |
|
pdurbin |
ah, other sheet music at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o7rc6oyn5kbxllz/eW3oHND4MR via http://www.youtube.com/user/PianoJonasF/about |
| 03:42 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: yeah, apparently :) |
| 03:42 |
|
aditsu |
none of those are for the faint of heart though... |
| 03:43 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: so I showed http://music.greptilian.com to my kid's piano teacher and she wanted to know how to make her own. and she likes the names on the notes for the kids |
| 03:44 |
|
aditsu |
:) |
| 03:44 |
|
pdurbin |
I think this is the book she teaches with and it doesn't start with reading actual music: Piano for the Young Beginner: Primer A (Bastien Piano Basics) Paperback - January 1, 1987 http://amzn.com/0849793173 |
| 03:44 |
|
aditsu |
introduce her to lilypond for windoze? :) |
| 03:45 |
|
pdurbin |
"traditional middle C approach begins with pre-staff notation; grand staff is introduced on page 28" |
| 03:45 |
|
pdurbin |
aditsu: I sent her a link to my script. her son went to MIT. I'm sure they can figure it out :) |
| 03:45 |
|
aditsu |
oh, there was a site with some useful info... let me find it again |
| 03:45 |
|
pdurbin |
besides, I offered to set up a site for her. we'll see what happens |
| 03:53 |
|
aditsu |
argh.. where is that site.. |
| 04:06 |
|
aditsu |
pdurbin: eureka!!! http://www.marthabeth.com/piano.html |
| 04:06 |
|
aditsu |
tons of good information there on everything about piano |
| 04:09 |
|
aditsu |
I think she also has some comments on the Bastien books in the QA pages |
| 04:12 |
|
pdurbin |
hmm |
| 04:13 |
|
pdurbin |
stuff like this is useful to me: http://www.marthabeth.com/fingering_rules.html |
| 04:14 |
|
aditsu |
anyway, beware of time sink ^^ |
| 04:15 |
|
pdurbin |
heh |
| 04:25 |
|
pdurbin |
this is interesting: http://www.marthabeth.com/theory_QA.html |
| 04:25 |

pdurbin |
less dry and more down to earth than books I've read |
