My Arrangement - Married Life from Up (easy)

https://musescore.com/user/31996419/scores/17692129

So, because I'm a chicken, I'm not posting anything original this week. I have some stuff to sort out with what I was supposed to be posting and software, so maybe I'll do it next week.

So for now, I hope you'll like a very easy little arrangement I made of Married Life from the Pixar movie Up for solo piano. I made it originally for a student of mine who wanted to learn it, but thought might as well stick it online if anyone else wants a super easy version.

Disclaimer - I do not own this piece or the movie or claim to, it's by Michael Giacchino for Pixar's Up. All credit goes to the rightful owners (disney please don't come after me)

Hope it can be useful to someone out there or you just like it :)

The Lana Del Rey / Mitski / Fiona Apple girlies would go fucking insane for Portishead. Not quite visceral - but a quiet intensity to it instead, something subtle and sultry bereft near entirely of strings; an eerie sort of flair to it that I enjoy sinking into. you might, too, if you’ll let yourself!

at least, relief

a mother’s son has left me sheer

the shores i seek

are crimson tastes divine

can’t make myself heard

no matter how hard i scream

oh, sensation

sin, slave of sensation

Biscuit

covered by the blind belief

that fantasies of sinful screens

bear the facts, assume the dye

end the vows, no need to lie, enjoy

take a ride, take a shot now

‘cause nobody loves me; it’s true

not like you do

Sour times

you don’t get somethin’ for nothing

mm, gotta try a little harder

it could be sweet

like a long forgotten dream

It Could Be Sweet

Hello! I made this little zine called Music Theory: A Small Guide of Reminders.

These are shorthand notes, charts, and drawings that I used when I was studying music theory that I now teach my students, approached from the pianist’s perspective. From beginner to advanced, all compact to fit in a pocket or pencil case.

It is one page of notes in the front, with optional second side that includes manuscript paper and an extra keyboard.

This video includes a flip through, instructions on how to fold the guide, and explanations for all the notes: https://youtu.be/mUSc3k4z9qM

Links to download are in the description of the video :)

[glitterpennotes]

a toast to the novices

cheers to being new and bad at something

cheers to never perfecting

cheers to exploring a million interests

cheers to a long and joyful rookie stage

because if i keep expecting myself to be perfect, i will end up being nothing at all

[calliroadia]

I made this melody not short what vibe it fits

might reuse this melody later

I never really learned to play guitar or piano, but I sure do love playing fingerstyle guitar comps on the piano

It's so so funny how piano progression is like. Okay, first you have to learn to play every note in the chord/between hands evenly, last thing we want is not being able to hear some notes! And all the notes go down together, remember that!!

And then, after years, it's suddenly all about "actually, I want to hear *this* specific note and melody within the chords you play"

One side effect of studying piano pedagogy is that whenever I watch a show or movie or video where someone is sitting at the piano and they're supposed to be a relatively experienced musician, I am obligated to be insufferable about their hand and body position. Girl, how are you going to get the range of motion to play octave chords fortissimo when your elbows are glued to the side of your ribs. It's your knees that are supposed to be just under the edge of the keyboard, not your bench. Those fingers are just too flat for the scale passages that the soundtrack says you're playing. Is that a slouch-
