Well #PianoLesson went really well and I’ve sent my student off to spend the week composing his own work based on what we learned about the AI track.
I only have the one student these days but I’m so lucky he’s so much fun to teach.
Taking AI slop and making it educational!
Of course we’re also going to talk about real artists who actually make this kind of music. I have a few in mind but I am open to suggestions as country isn’t generally my thing. Is it even #countrymusic?
#PianoLesson

First #PianoLesson of the new year tomorrow and I’ve had a plan brewing in my brain all over christmas.

Before the break my student sent me a video of a country/blues song he’d heard while in the US visiting his son, which he discovered was made by AI releasing under the name “Breaking Rust”.
He was surprised by how “not like AI” it sounded.

So tomorrow we’re going to talk about all the musical devices the AI used to create the track - blues scales, the minimal stomp clap rhythm, call and response and the (albeit minimal) chord progression etc.
Then maybe guide him towards making his own piece. I’m really looking forward to it!

Organs are SO COOL. My regular piano lesson this week was, as a one-off, on a local pipe organ.

It was so fun and organs can make such a wider range of sounds than you usually hear!

We played some classical yes, but also some more contemporary stuff (video game music etc, which is like my favourite genre alongside anime/film), like *Everything's Alright* from
To the Moon - which sounds awesome on organ btw!

Hardest thing: not falling off the stool when playing the pedals


Oh what I wouldn't give to just sit and have a noodle on it for a few hours......

Didn't get any recordings, which I'm kicking myself for. Also not sharing pictures as would give away my physical location.
