I can't remember this song being compiled in the typical Richard Clayderman piano score books, or at least those that I have. 🤔

Is there any pianist who is looking for a duet partner of mostly baroque and classical repertoire? Also i would love to try some old school video game rep like Zelda and Mario if any scores are out there. Please message me if you're interested. And let me know if this is the wrong part of the forums to post and either move it for me or I'll move it. Cheers all, Jess

Is there anyone seeking to play a duet or a piece for four hands or maybe needs a vocalist, instrumentalist or more? Why not list your title and composer below and we can take it away by contacting each other through the user messaging function for a lively collaborative performance at our weekly recitals.

Jessieca Joplin here. I have 2 books i want to play with someone who loves baroque and classical repertoire. Books are "Piano duets baroque composers" and "Piano duets classical composers" Compiled and edited by Michael Aston. Particularly wanting someone to play Secondo for "Allegro con spirito" by J C F Bach (classical), and "Arrival of the queen of Sheba" by Handel (baroque). Want to play for fun and hope to perform. Anyone up to wanting to learn, let me know :D Best, Jess

I got myself a used piano few months ago. Started learning a bit on my own. Still thinking if I should get a teacher to have formal lessons. Any self-taught pianists here? Any tips? I've tried some youtube videos for beginners, and also bought a couple of adult books. Still fumbling with reading the doh ray me.. haha.

Hehe, of coz I'm trying the free ones first. After a day's work, I'm actually quite tired, and it's challenging to get myself to the piano.

Hope I can make it. *cross fingers*

I am new to this forum. Just want to share my experience as a self taught piano player 🙂
When I was about 7, I had piano lesson for less than a year. I quit before I took grade 1 exam because I found the elementary pieces to be too boring and and the teacher too fierce.
When I was 12, I heard my friend playing a Richard Clayderman piece, and I instantly wanted to learn that. Took me many months to start to learn reading notes again, and painstakingly memorize the note to be able to piece the melody together.
Till today, I self-taught every piano piece that I wanted to play, and I never find practicing boring as I did when I was learning formally from a teacher.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I think the motivation of wanting to learn a song I like is a lot stronger than trying to learn piano steps by steps, hence maybe to put your aim on learning a piece that you like regardless of grades may help to push you harder.
Having said that, not having a proper musical education means that you may miss out on many technical skills requires to perform advance pieces properly. (I found it out the hard way) Therefore I think it is important to decide if you are playing for yourself or for others... if you just want to please yourself, YouTube tutorial and bashing through the notes is sufficient for you to learn the song you like.

An Unforgettable Adventure (with orchestra backing)

Gavin Koh

January 8, 2019 at 3:52pm

I just finished my 12th original composition and released the piano solo sheet music, that to me is kind of a milestone.

The new piano solo piece is called "An Unforgettable Adventure". You can listen to it on SoundCloud by clicking the image below (don't forget to "Follow" me there to get updates). The background for this piece is where you have a truly memorable adventure, one filled with peaceful moments, reflective moods, and quite a bit of excitement.

I just finished my 12th original composition and released the piano solo sheet music, that to me is kind of a milestone.

A friend of mine actually interpreted "An Unforgettable Adventure" as a monument to life. She said that the first part of the song reflects childhood and youth, the middle part is akin to sprinting through life in your career, and for me, I feel that the ending part reflects old age. Nevertheless, that's still an adventure to me. An adventure in life!

Hope you will like it. I might perform it at Pianovers Meetup one day. Thanks.
