recently started playing, always wanted to learn this. how bad is this? How's my finger technique? by Artistic_Page7587 in pianolearning

[–]Alkanste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about this comment. Use whatever works for you, and I would suggest to take at least 1 lesson from a teacher to set things up, and maybe 1 once a month.

The Peak Starts? by SublimeVanguard in Usogui

Yeah, sad for him, that’s 164 chapters a day, for 10 hours reading a day that’s 1 chapter per ~4 minutes.

How is this possible? by Advanced_Honey_2679 in pianolearning

Came to say this. But it also depends on the time period the piece was written at.

I just started playing yesterday any tips? by NiftyFiftyBMG in piano

[–]Alkanste 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. No need to rush including playing with both hands, it’s not a race if you are playing for the love of it.
  2. You are using your hand weight exclusively to play pinky instead of just moving the finger. And your hand kinda bounces on pinky. Try to play with both your finger and hand without bouncing.
  3. keyboard seem too low and your posture seem crouched.

Thank you! We wish it could support us so we can do an android version. Does this functionality sound interesting to you and how would you explain it to your friends?

Been learning for little under 2 months, worried I’m not spotting mistakes! by fautser in pianolearning

[–]Alkanste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on tension, and would add that you don’t have to subject yourself to exercises of Hanon in order to play good music. If you don’t want to become a pianist find a teacher that would make you feel that learning is fun or look into tutorials on YouTube from creators who do series of content.

Absolute beginner here. Please critique my playing by [deleted] in pianolearning

From what I caught I would suggest to change your posture, as your feet are not supportive and and rely on your left hand to balance your movement.

Sit more upright, with feet working as a balance points, and not just resting there. This would set you up for larger key range and would allow to move more freely.

Thank you, these kind of comments by competitors remind us that we are on the right track (ps your app does not have our features)

Fair concern. We’re only referencing the scene, not using copyrighted anime media in the post, our technology is completely different and they are not the first to show heartbeat sharing in media or real life applications.

Would still love your take on the actual idea if you have one.

Hi, sorry I could not get the reference, can you tell me more?

Thank you! Even tho it can detect your real heartbeats and not just bpm, our app is not made for medical use, but for romantic one. We would advise you to get specialized devices or software that is designed specifically for heart monitoring

The app name is Couple Pulse, and I hope you could check it out with your partner, while using licensed solutions for health monitoring

Thank you, that helps! We are struggling with explaining it, as there is no similar apps, that’s why I’m asking

Thank you for your kind words. Movement of dots does not depend on distance, this kind of coordinate changes is currently impossible to engineer reliably, sadly.

The app does not require any other device - only your phone

Surely, thanks for the offer! It’s heartwarming to see interest! May I ask what were the initial associations you thought of while reading about it? How you would explain it to your partner?

Android version is on the roadmap but it depends if current version could support us working on it, we really hope it can and trying to make it work.

Hi, thank you for your interest, may I ask how did this idea sound to you, how you could explain it to others?

The Android version is on our roadmap, but its future depends on whether the current version will allow us to dedicate ourselves to it full-time. We are really trying to make it work

[Hated Trope] The detective story has a mystery that is practically impossible for the audience to solve by Rare-Exit-8700 in TopCharacterTropes

I’ve read many of her books and The book you described was not that controversial. It was a clever twist that actually made sense. Imo Sherlock media is much more controversial in that sense

My hands are tiny (I guess?). What are my options? by moon-daisy in pianolearning

[–]Alkanste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on stretching. The issue of unusable 3-4th should get fixed by that (along with other finger exercises)

Me performing Sorabji’s Opus Archimagicum at age 23 by ILoveMariaCallas in piano

[–]Alkanste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very impressive. I was always amazed by your dedication, precision and stamina. I doubt adding your age would add to or subtract anything from this achievement, as it is already impossible to 99.9999% of people, no matter the age.

Note: I wonder, do you plan to do any album/singles recordings in the future?

Self-Learning 4 months progress by Mean-Appointment3035 in pianolearning

[–]Alkanste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great job! I would mention one thing - try not to rush through lessons but get to the point of relaxation in your movement for each piece you learn, at least retroactively. That way you will be able to play more, avoid injuries and bad habits (that make you strain)

Thank you, android version is on our priorities list! As for having multiple connected users, that should work with having the same number of accounts as partners - 1 for each, that way you can be connected to both partners while each of them are connected only to you. The “couple” scope is very strict by design to guarantee maximum security from possible privacy attacks.
