I came back to piano later by myself when I wanted to play video game music. Then I wanted to play stuff from movies, pop songs, etc. I started watching interesting videos on reharmonization and tried that on some pop hits to interesting effect. I wouldn’t say I “stopped” completely, but my relationship with the instrument is completely different than it was when I was taking full time lessons growing up. I’m at the point where I might take it up again, but I would have specific goals in mind now.
- ehcjrvakzjtbe 4y agothis was exactly what brought me back after i left as a kid i've had an opportunity once to recommend this to a mother who asked me what kept me interested, as her kid was losing interest. i told her to get some scores for the games they were playing
- epilys 4y agoYou might be interested in ragtime video game covers. There are lots of videos of a ragtime piano player called Tom Brier who *sightreads* video game music notation. That is, he plays a score while reading it for the first time. He's incredibly skilled, it's awe-inspiring. https://youtu.be/ffwVKDP8nzQ https://youtu.be/ffwVKDP8nzQ
