The general idea
behind “your” Music in Color is simple. If
you love classical piano music and you've always wanted to learn to
play the piano, then this is the right book and school for you. The
Beginner Piano School (BPS) teaches classical piano performance
using innovation new technology, all rooted in classical music
theory. Utilizing the best of modern information technology,
computers, online resources, you can get the be info
straight from the pros
themselves!
Now is the best time to make your dream of playing piano a reality.
Music In Color BPS's curriculum is the accumulation of the best piano
teaching and learning information in the world!! With my decade of
experience as a classical musician (classical guitar, bowed contalie,
viola and recorded) I know music, and what works. Plus I grew up in
the newly created computer generation and internet age of the
nineties, making me who I am today. (plus I'm bit of a book worm,
geek, computer guru, sociologist/scientist
(Bachelors of Arts SUNY Albany '02)
and US Marine Afghanistan Veteran). I have collected the newest and
best that's out there, and made lessons that work. These innovative
learning techniques are easy and fun. I hope you enjoy this
collection the best material I have found in all of my days as a
musician and scholar, And believe me, some of this stuff is really
cutting edge. Now is better then ever to learn anything! Take
advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Take
a piano lesson and find out for your self, first lesson is always
free. Enroll in the School, and Learn to Play the Piano. Become the
classical pianist you've always wanted to be.
NEW STUDENTS: DO
YOU WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY PIANO?
What
I love about
classical music is the beautiful sound, that and the coherent
mathematical beauty that's is the core of music theory, that and of
course the satisfaction , excitement and challenge of actually
playing piano by sight-reading classical
sheet music that was written by the likes of Beethoven and Mozart. I
remember when I first started playing piano 3 years ago, not being
able to play a single C
Major Chord, I fondly
dreamed of the day I could wow
audiences during spontaneous live performances whenever I happened to
come across a little Baby Grand Piano or electric keyboard. The BSP
will guide all newcomers in an excellent, welcoming weekly lesson
program and practice routine that will have you playing your favorite
songs in a matter of weeks. First Grade instills new students with
a basic understanding of music theory, and how to play piano by
sight-reading. All the experts agree that music theory is the
fundamental foundation in ALL more advanced types of music. Casual
lessons also available. Whether you enroll in the School or take a
few single lessons, you will be amazed and happy with your decision
to learn to play piano. All prices are suggested and charged on a
sliding scale. Pay
what you can. However this is what I want to do for a living right
now, so your generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank You so much.
THE ART OF
SIGHT-READING CLASSICAL SHEET MUSIC IN COLOR
I
love how eloquent and articulate classical sheet music “describes”
the intricacies of sound of music. The beauty of the simplicity of
the black and white music notes on the ten lines of the Grand Staff.
All music can be completely translated into easy to sight-read sheet
music (with lots of practice & understanding of music theory ;)
composed solely of whole, half, quarter and sixteenth notes, and with
some rests, accidentals, dynamics and articulation notation thrown in
here and there. Piano sheet music also features key and times
signatures, chords and arpeggios, finger numbers, slurs, ties,
sharps, flats, crescendos, diminuendos, dotted notes and pedal marks.
Not to mention with this written sheet music, we won't have any of
the great sonatas of the Classical Era, this simple notations on
paper immortalized the classical music icons like Ludwig van
Beethoven and Wolfgang A Mozart..... See the Classical Music History
and Inspirations Page.
ADDING
YOUR OWN ARTISIC COLOR TOUCH TO HELP YOU LEARN
…..And
all of that in good old fashioned black and white ink and paper. We
don't what to try to change anything about the unadulterated classic
form of sheet music. This “My Music in Color” Book in your hand
is currently black and white. You add the touch of color. Use color
accentuate and emphasize the music. Make your own personalized color
code system. Something that makes sense to you. I like to color in
the tails of some pieces lines blue and spaces red, for example. Or
some pieces I like to color all C notes red, and all G# Green and B
flats Orange. It is completely up to you. Just highlight segments,
or the rhythms phrases or whatever makes you happy, and assists you
in sight-reading faster and more effectively then ever before. Be
sure to enter the school contest for best Colored Sheet Music.

Music
Theory's BFF warmly and proudly introduces new musicians to meet the
Circle of Fifths.
Why is is important to learn the Circle of Fifths? Because it is a great visualization that will help you understand theory and identify classical music key signature, find related keys & harmonies, remember the order of sharps & flats. The Circle of 5ths is one of the most valuable tools to help you ee the fundamental relationships that music theory is based on.
Moving clockwise, each fifth (five whole steps) starts a new Major or minor key signature.
Moving clockwise each fifth add a sharp or takes away a flat. Likewise moving counter clockwise adds a flat or removes a sharp. At the bottom of the circle are the three pairs of enharmonic keys of D flat & C#, G flat & f# and finally B & C flat. And to top it off all of the Major keys are on the outside with the minor keys on the inside. First grade only focuses on C Major and G Major, adding D &F Major in second grade. Just google “Circle of fifths” to see the endless variations of this music theory treasure. Check out www.circle-of-fifths.net for tons more great insight into this classical music gem.

♪ History
reveres Bach as one of the greatest
master of musical expressiveness who ever existed. And for 45 years, Bach created, composed and conducted music of the highest quality. No man, it is said has ever composed so brilliantly and consistently as J.S. Bach.  Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born January 27, 1756 – Died December 5, 1791 at 35 Years Old ♪ Mozart was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. Mozart developed a brilliance and maturity of style of classical music that encompassed the light and graceful along with the dark and passionate. He composed over 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and his influence on subsequent Western art music is profound; Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart. Painting used is of Mozart at Age 6, Austria 1762.  Ludwig van Beethoven Born December 17, 1770 – Died March 26, 1827at 57 Years Old ♪ Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. Beethoven's hearing began to deteriorate significantly in is early 30s, yet he continued to compose, conduct, and perform even after becoming completely deaf. Famous Masterpieces include: Ode to Joy 5th Symphony, Für Elise, and some of the best piano sonatas, including: Waldstein, Appassionata and "Moonlight" Sonata. Painting used is Beethoven Age 50, Germany 1820. |
