Hi Akshay, for someone who is learning the piano and would someday like to be able to transcribe music even to some degree as good as you can, could you do a video on your transcription process and any helpful tips in approaching transcribing music. It would be greatly greatly appreciated :) Also, if you don't mind me asking, what you're musical history (how long you've been playing and your musical education) is and any advice in becoming more proficient at piano playing. Thank you very much, from an admiring fan of your creativity and talent!
Hello! Thank you for your very kind words ^^ I don't really have any specific way of transcribing music. I base my "transcriptions" off of just listening to the music; the first round is for enjoyment, and the ones after are to analyze the piece even further. Other than those general guidelines, the rest is either unsystematized (as of now) or just subjective, like the emotions or lack of, tempo, or other things. As for my education, I have had some basics, and lots of quite nice teachers, but in the end I prefer to just learn at my own pace; I just play the piano as a kind of relaxation or venting mechanism 😸 again, I am humbled that you think so highly of my work, and I thank you very much ^^ 😸
@@akshaygowrishankar7440 thank you for your reply! I have a few more questions and hope I'm not bothering you 😅 Could you elaborate on how you analyse the piece on the second listening? And also how do you identify the key that the piece is in. Or is this just an instinctive process that you identify from listening? Thank you again!
@@henrytofu5093 not a bother at all 😸 I usually know what key the piece is in, through lots of years of just . . . listening. More often than not, it helps to have an open mind and not confine oneself to just a single key, because more often than not, most pieces have multiple key signatures.
@@henrytofu5093 for example, in Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, the first movement. After many repetitions of listening to it, I can recognize that the beginning few bars are in E Minor modulating to B Major at times, and then it switches between, B Minor, F# Major, E Minor, G# Minor, E# Minor, A# Major, A Minor, Fmaj7, D Major and some others. The rest is pretty much instinct for me at this point, so I really can't describe it much in-depth. But it has something to do with having a catalog of all the scales, just existing in my mind. And that's from associating the names of the scales with the sounds, which only comes from . . . repetition.

Congratulations, you have improved

@@akshaygowrishankar7440 in regards to analysing the piece, what does that look like?

Did you write a score of this by any chance? (Beautiful transcription by the way) 🙃
Not finished yet, but working on it ^^ (and thank you 🥰)
