Say somebody is learning an instrument, let's say the piano. Every year they learn the same tune, but a less simple version each time. When they have been playing for twenty years, or however long they want, the tunes are compiled and split up so it gradually develops from a single hand, single note
tune, to a professional-sounding performance. Any suggestions for the tune?

I don't understand what you're asking. Do you want people to be playing very complex variations of Chopsticks after 20 years? I don't get the reason behind learning progressively harder versions of the same piece. Why not learn harder but different pieces? |
|
| |
I'll have to agree, for once, with [waugs]. |
|
| |
I'd be keen on the idea, but somewhat speeded up. Say, 20 steps learned over a year. |
|

Thinking about it again, there is a parallel here between learning a martial art and learning its 'form'. Although the form stays the same over the years it remains relevant to the practitioner since they learn different things from it over time. |
|
| |
Maybe a piece of music could be composed that was so fundamental to the way a particular instrument can be played that it could be simplified and used in this way. |
|
| |
[waugs], if you played different tunes, then they couldn't be mixed into one progressing tune, just a bunch of snippets from different tunes. |
|
| |
// then they couldn't be mixed into one progressing tune // |
|
| |
But why would you want to do that? You haven't shown any reasoning. |
|
| |
I just think it would sound great if you heard yourself - beginner to advanced - playing the same progressing tune. Every ten seconds you would hear an improvement in your playing while hearing the exact same tune undisturbed. |

So this isn't something geeks whistle while they are coding? |

"Heart and Soul." Infinitely accompanieable. |
|
| |
anyone with a website willing to put up a MIDI version of a Development Tune I made? |
|
| |
Yeah, I think Modular has a new idea here. He wants to compile a song where the first 10 seconds were performed by you when you had just started to learn, the next 10 seconds were performed a month later, and so on... |
|
| |
Oh. I misunderstood. I thought he wanted several versions of the same song with varying levels of difficulty. Carry on. |
|
| |
its the //but a less simple version each time// that causes the confusion.. |

Hm. Wesley Willis. Not much complexity involved in pressing the preset beat button on your casio keyboard, bellowing "Lick a panda's bootyhole!" and occasionally hitting 'fill.' Still, if the complexity increases for 20 years, it might sound like Bach eventually. |
|
| |
Hm x2. Perhaps this would be better suited to percussion. Start off keeping a simple 4/4 beat, gradually adding extra beats to the old four four until after the set period of years, you've got (a) a long beard and (b) a clattering breakbeat jazz solo. |

Hey [silverstormer] - not all of us coders are geeks. I for one have developed a programme which employs a detailed equation which calculates to 15 decimal places my personal coolness coefficient using a number of input criteria and using which I can prove beyond doubt that I'm not a......oh! |

Some say "Geek"; some say "freak". I say unique. |

Nobody wants to put my midi on the net... |
|
| |
In my case, "nobody" knows how. |

Maybe a bgsound on this site, [jutta]... pleeease... |
