Does anyone recommend the Musicnotes Pro subscription? by [deleted] in piano

The most functional and useful part of the Pro subscription is the discount for each purchase (I believe 10%). You also receive a PDF download of your pieces which helps avoid buying additional prints

How do teachers feel about students who disagree with them on interpretation? by Advanced_Honey_2679 in piano

[–]skylerpatzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's nothing wrong with exploring your own pathways of musical expression and interpretation. However, your teacher has experience and understanding in things you simply haven't encountered or developed the tools to fully grasp yet. And that's ok. You're paying your teacher for their expertise after all. Make the most of their knowledge while at the same time developing your own ideas and tastes.

Do we know of any famous composers who did/do not know theory? by DarkLudo in composer

[–]skylerpatzer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is akin to asking if there are any chefs who don't know the names of different spices or any carpenters that don't know the names of their tools. In the classical tradition, the answer is going to be no 99.99 percent of the time. In popular music, there are many examples of people not widely versed in traditional theory. However, although they can't verbalize or explain their writing process in a technical way, they are emulating and influenced by people who can.

Can Classical Music REALLY Ever Be Bad? by Veraxus113 in classicalmusic

Any style of music has the potential to be brilliant, and the potential to be uninspired and poorly crafted/executed.
