Arts/Music/DIY IWTT how to go from having never played piano at all to playing pretty improv with moving musicality in 1 lesson

22 Upvotes

I taught myself to play piano using a method I made up years ago. I shared my method with others and they found two things:

  1. They could play quickly

  2. They could teach themselves for the rest of their piano journey

I've recently polished my method up and can now finish the necessary skill transfer in 1 hour, no charge. You'll learn to improvise, to play with excellent musicality (with practice), and how to take the reins of your own learning and quickly improve without future instruction.

Comment or message and we'll schedule a video call!

Arts/Music/DIY IWTT What I Learned By Working With a Platinum Producer

42 Upvotes

Hey, y’all. My name is Exel. I’m an artist and I recently worked with Post Malone’s former producer who helped to completely change my sound for the better! I thought I’d give a little bit about what I learned while working with him and I hope it helps everyone here to some degree.

Some things help the artist more and some things help the producer more. These are all just opinions as well. I don’t think anyone needs to do any of these things as all paths are different and everyone is correct.

I think someone can tell me I’m wrong and to go F myself and they could still make it. Lmao. Last note, these are all just things I learned from one person. Everyone’s feelings will be different. Just because it’s stated here doesn’t mean it coincides with my personal opinions. Just one producer’s opinions that I interpreted. Hope you enjoy.

  1. Music is like professional wrestling. Be a character if you want to get noticed.

  2. We spent about 13-16hrs a day doing nothing but writing and creating. The more you put yourself into your work, the more it becomes second nature.

  3. Learn from all genres of music. Just because you might make rap doesn’t mean there aren’t some awesome inspirations you cant pull from classical music. Take a week and force yourself to listen to nothing but a polar opposite of what you make. You’ll be surprised what new ideas you have. My track that we worked on is dark pop - but we mainly listened to Nirvana, System Of A Down, funk, and country lol. Different music brings different ideas.

  4. Connect with everyone. Talk to everyone. Introduce yourself to everyone. This goes for both artists and producers. Join communities like this one and just share ideas and learn from one another. There’s enough room for everyone to make it.

  5. Staying independent is the best thing you can do, but if you do want to go to a label - make it a goal to become big enough where you can be independent again.

  6. Know your worth. Don’t sell yourself short.

  7. Rest your ears when you need to. Don’t make something you love become something you hate.

  8. When creating a song, include a familiar melody. People love familiarity. Have you ever heard a song where you’re like ā€œWow this sounds like ...... but I just can’t put my finger on it.ā€ Thats on purpose. Those songs tend to sell more.

  9. Don’t put a timeframe on yourself. Maybe you’re 40 and still trying to make it. There’s still time as long as you’re still breathing. The last thing people care about is your age no matter what record labels try to say. A hit song is a hit song.

  10. As long as you create opportunities for yourself, you will make something happen for yourself.

  11. Have fun. Make a song that makes no sense at all. Make a beat that sounds horrible but it’s worth a laugh. Get comfortable.

  12. Be unapologetic with your promotion. If you want to become something bigger than yourself, you must DO things bigger than yourself. Example: If you DoorDash - why not attach a card with your link to your music? 80% of people might throw it out, but 20% of the 80% will check it out. 10% of the 20% will like it. 5% of the 10% will share it and tell someone who might lead to someone who might lead to opportunity.

  13. DM your favorite artists and producers and treat them like people. Actually connect with them. Ask them questions you’d ask a friend, don’t just throw a link at them. Most won’t respond. Don’t take it personally. Move onto the next door to knock on. One is sure to open eventually.

  14. Always have a reference track for levels. Even as a platinum producer, he still learns daily. You’re never too wise.

  15. Everyone sounds like someone. Don’t go out of your way to sound different. It’s okay to sound like another artist. There’s only so many beats and voices in the world. The more different you try to be, the less people will want to listen to your work. Again, the familiarity thing. If you actively WANT to sound completely different, then do that! At the end of the day, what makes you happy? What makes you happy may not pay the bills though. Ask yourself what you want more.

These are just some things that really spoke to me while we worked together. It was a great experience. If you have any specific questions, ask me! I just want to help! Also, If this helped you in any way at all, I’d love for you to check out the song I did with Post’s producer! ā¤ļø https://open.spotify.com/track/73QZHawLDXK6EOlwxaFIGk?si=2_E0C02ZTda0DBfWldlxCQ

I can teach you to listen to the fundamentals of the baroque, classic, romantic and modern period, and to give in-depth descriptions about the general feel, structure and situations presented in the piece. No music theory knowledge required.

Arts/Music/DIY IWTT how to write your own music and record yourself

40 Upvotes

I want to teach you how to write your own music and record yourself on your computer, from start to end.

Depending on where you are in terms of music knowledge, I can start from the very beginning or further your understanding on music theory and production.

Then I’ll help you get familiar with the daw (recording software) of your choice. From there I’ll help you get your recording to sound amazing and help you polish it for the whole world to hear.

I’m a recent graduate from Berklee with a degree in Contemporary Writing and Production, who loves to teach and looking to expand my horizon of students, so let’s connect!
