    Well, it's about time I find the official place for this. Anyways, this is Simple and Clean, and was the first video game song I learned on piano. CnC if you feel it is necissary.

    Loved every moment of it.

    Are you planning on doing the opening for Kingdom Hearts II?

    I've thought of it, but I don't know where to find it. I get most of my KH music from ichigos.com, and they don't have it...I think. it's been a while since I've got any since I got Those Who Fight, and that's going to take me a good year at least

    This was very good:) im not a pianist nor am i a musician, so this was impressive. Yeah im an Uber Hikaru fan! (When i mean Uber, i mean i have literally every album of hers, not just the 2 songs for the KH series)

    I really like the part where it went the the "hold me" part near the end. that was good i really liked that part. I'd love to see some more of your songs you've played.

    don't worry, you will. I don't have too many uploaded, but that's because I only record when no one is home since that's the only time it's quiet enough, and also because I don't know what's wrong with my stinkin camera. And if you can't tell by the quality, it's a cheap $10 camera by dad bought me as a gift. I like being able to record, but when you upload and you only get sound, it's rediculous

    yeah i noticed that, but i didn't mind the vid quality, but i was just thinking as to how much better it really sounds. the audio isn't top notch either, but you played well and that really stood above the problems:)

    yeah sorry, if I had a way to record better I would. I guess I could try using my parent's flip camera whenever I try to record, but I always keep playing until I get it right, so that's a lot of restarting and stuff. That's another reason why I wait till there's no one around. But now I remember why I didn't get passion. I just can't really find a place that might have it fine enough. the one on ichigos is crazy rediculous, it doesn't even sound like the song, and the other site doesn't have a midi file to listen to.

    Wow! That was scary good! I took piano for two years, but that was simply brilliant. The audio quality was really good. I just thought some parts were speed up a bit (Making it difficult to sing to :( ) But other than that, brilliant! Just brilliant!

    I know, sorry about that. I really love fast songs, and sometimes for fun I speed up the songs, and I accidentally sped this one up, and I don't notice while I play because it sounds normal while I play. I've thought of redoing it, but I have too much to learn to redo this one.

    There's a great deal of staccato here. Are you doing this on purpose? Either way, that doesn't exactly work for this song. You played well but just...hold down your chords. The beauty of the piano is that while it is an extremely simplistic and straightforward instrument, you can have a very full-ranged sound to any piece of music. Basically what I'm saying, it'd sound much prettier if you held your notes down...and maybe slowed down a little. There's a difference between speed and skill. You're more likely to get better practicing a single piece over and over until it's perfect than trying to learn a dozen things.

    Just some friendly advice from a fellow musician. ^^;

    actually, I knew how to play this, but I was rushing to get it done before my mom got home, and then there was the fact that I have a bad habit of speeding up when I'm having fun, and also I count fast sometimes.

    Well, I'm probably not one to say since I'm not experienced with music at all much except that I did use to play a bit of piano. However, my brother does a lot of covers and other recordings so I'll just try to give advice.
    You're doing very good! I like how it turned out really. It did seem very fast and snappy, try making it more... uh, flow-y next time. Like, I don't hear much of a transition between the notes. It's like something's cutting it off before it carries on to the next one. And it also seemed like it needed some backing up. Like, try to record different melodies at different times then edit them over so things can blend or harmonize. Or, try adding a couple more chords. Lastly, try either getting a mic or one of those keyboards you could connect to your computer so the computer can record without all the outside noise or static-like noise. Of course, the camera is good too as it did capture your work - but I feel people could hear it with better quality with other things. This last thing is not important, not too much at least. Just adding it in here~
    But of course, you did a super amazing job! I won't be able to do anything near it xD Haha. Keep it up! c:

    is any of that possible when the piano happens to be on the other side of the house, and it's a standup? But yeah, before anyone else says so, I know this was really fast. I had originally planned on redoing it, but I just had other things to do. I don't think I will at this point. But I don't know anything about adding chords or not, but I'm just playing as the sheet music said. You can always ask the person that made the sheet music if you have questions.

    But next song I'm planning on recording is One-Winged Angel, so hopefully I'll be able to do that within this week. Have to relearn it again(3rd time makes the charm), but it shouldn't take too long
