Anyone play Piano/Keyboard?

LeperousDust · 05-08-2008, 22:10

I'm playing the piano again after a 6 year hiatus, and I'm obviously very rusty, so now i don't have a piano teacher nor the money to pay one (

) where does one go for pretty decent learning online. Something all the way up to grade 8 would be fantastic since i used to play to grade 7 and i wouldn't mind if i maybe finished that. This is one of those wish I'd never stopped moment really...

I'm also looking for sheet music too. I don't care where it comes from either and prefer it all to be freely available (one way or another

).

Danke Schon!

Bah, I found a great site for modern sheet music the other week and can't remember what I Googled for to find it. I'll have a think and post back.

Keyboard player here, but self taught, parents could barely afford the equipment let alone the lessons.

I know what you mean. I stopped at Grade 5 and loved the freedom on practice nights for around two years or so. Then A-Levels and then degree stuff came along and I really really wished I hadn't given up.

Damnit, my parents were right

My son is a self taught composer and player. Not much help here, but if you get back into it, Noteworthy Composer is a good program for hooking the keyboard up to the computer (especially since I have a Key for it and it's a download. Hint, hint).

Personally, I'd get some decent music.

Ba-dum-tish!

Thankyou, I'm here all week.

I wish I'd kept up the violin, but I stopped playing it around the same time I picked up the guitar. Now I'm helpless at it, and it frustrates me because I was up to grade 6 before.

I'm in exactly the same boat actually. Got to grade 8 (but never took it) when I was 17 but never really played since I left home. I was thinking of getting a Juno-D and getting back into it at home, but then using it as a synth in my band.
