I got a free little midi keyboard someone tossed in the ewaste at work, and it seems to work with my linux tablet using chordcat flatpak.
I would like to be able to play along with some sheet music, I took piano in high-school but feels like starting from scratch.

I have been looking for some software to be able to open up sheet music I find and then just play along with it, with an easy way to scroll or turn pages or even detect the midi input from the keyboard. so far I installed musescore which doesnt really seem to be what I want as far as reading music from other people?

and found midiano.com which seems like what I want but unsure if there is anything better?

Really enjoying Melodics -- had my midi keyboard for a couple of weeks now, and am doing some lessons at what they call "Grade 5". Which is really still very simple, but I haven't touched a keyboard in 30 years, so it's been super helpful!

It's like Duolingo and Guitar Hero hard a baby.

Probably better than wasting my time playing video games anyway ;)

I've been looking to buy the FP-30X for some time now. However, I don't live in the west. The prices here range between 1300 to 1500 USD. When I looked on foreign websites, the prices were around 800-900 euros. Can anyone residing in EU or NA confirm this? Thanks.

Always wanted one. This is the entry level baby keyboard -- Native Instruments makes much fancier ones. But it came with a bunch of software instruments, and an Ableton Live Lite license, so... Hard to beat the price ($360CAD).

Going through Melodics -- I last took a piano lesson over 30 years ago and the fingers are a bit slow. As you can see by the graph, it's taking a while to get through some lessons with 100% :)

Piano improvisation.

I'm a novice composer, any feedback, no matter how negative, is welcome, I won't take it bad, I won't be offended.

I hope there will be positive feedback too though :-D

Hello everyone,

I am learning piano for the first time. I have been a musician for 25 years or so, entirely on brass instruments. I can read music (mostly bass clef) and I recently bought myself a casio piano keyboard with the intention of learning how to play more "complete" music than I could on my euphonium.

I can fiddle around on my horn and recreate any melody I hear, but it would never be complete chords or a melody with a harmony all at once. The piano seems like what I want in order to achieve that goal. Right now I am trying to nail down the muscle memory required to play both hands at once, and also fiddling around with the muppet show theme song. I'll likely be back to post what tutorials work for me and maybe even some of my progress!

Want to finally learn jazz theory with the goal of being able to improv a little and/or play with others. Any online courses you'd recommend?
