Music Website OnlyPiano.com Launches a Home for Solo Keyboard Artists and Piano Fans
(ContentDesk) December 2, 2004 -- If you're a fan of Fats Waller, David Lanz, Vince Guaraldi or any of a thousand other piano players, you know how difficult it has been to find a web portal for your taste. That problem is now history. OnlyPiano.com opened this week with a number of features that help the piano fan and artist alike - and it's all free. OnlyPiano.com includes the usual news and resource links - but this time it's specific to piano. If fact, OnlyPiano.com has its own Web radio station, Only Piano Radio, which features new and established jazz, new-age, classical and indie piano music - it runs 24 hours a day.
Gary Bryant, a piano player and composer himself, was frustrated by the lack of web venues for piano music. Most online music venues are geared towards more main stream markets like rock, hip-hop and alternative music - music of interest to the strongest on-line market place - college students. "Nothing wrong with that," says Bryant, "but there are other kinds of music and other ways to play it. Not every performer can be marketed as an edgy 'Indie Band' nor should they be, says Bryant, "There are thousands of excellent piano players and millions of people who like listening to them. Yet, if you're a solo jazz or new-age pianist there really hasn't been a successful web home for your music.
We hope OnlyPiano.com serves that need for artists and fans alike..
10 Time Saving Keyboard Shortcuts
Time is money.
And when you constantly have to divide your time between your mouse and your keyboard, your workflow rate really slows down. That's particularly true when you're working on a laptop, where the pointing device is even slower. The answer - short of growing another arm - is to learn a few "handy" keyboard shortcuts.
Here are 10 of the best: 1.

Keyboard Workshop Announces Release of New DVD Course Titled "How To Play More Piano Notes Without Reading More Notes"
Medford, OR (ContentDesk) March 16, 2006 -- Most people learn to play the piano by playing just the written music. Playing by written music is exactly what the phrase says it is -- playing the exact notation on a piece of sheet music. But playing by chord symbol is very different. Instead of following the harmony note by note, the musician follows the chord symbols (i.e. C7 or F or Bbm, etc.) written above the harmonies, filling in the gaps with their own improvisations based on those chords.
Chord symbols -- sometimes referred to as "chord tabs" (for example, Cmaj7 or G6 or Fm7) are a type of notation used frequently in jazz and other areas of modern music to notate chord progressions and changes. This type of notation differs from that of classical music in that chord symbols don't show the function of a chord the way the Roman numeral notation does. Chord symbols, for modern music with lots of changes, are much easier to read. They function as a sort of shorthand for change-heavy...
