This fun library was born during the 2020 pandemic. During the lockdown period, I made a YouTube music video using only the sounds of the Notebook, and it turned out better than I expected. After that, I decided to turn the notebook samples into a fun Kontakt Library so others could also use it, and perhaps get inspired to make music with odd objects. This Kontakt instrument offers 2 patches: Elastic chromatic notes; and Percussion notebook sounds with an ASMR vibe. It also comes with built-in Reverb, Stereo Delay, Punch and Drive effects, and a Cutoff knob. It is a very unique sounding instrument with a wide range of fun sonic possibilities. For Full Kontakt 5.8 +

This library really starts to come alive when you apply the effects section which is brilliant and professionally tuned. No strange resonances here like in many of the other libraries that attempt to add effects and you end up just using your own third party plugins instead. The effects built in here are unique sounding and don't make me want to reach outside of the interface itself to process the notebook samples.
No, it's not based on your girlfriend's favourite romantic movie, but an actual notebook! If you haven't clicked the video yet, do it! You will be sold after the first few seconds! This is an incredible instrument that features two kinds of sounds: a pluck lead and a percussion.
I don't really know where to start - next time you hear somebody say "I can get inspired" or "I don't have the sounds" or whatever, just show them this... and make sure you watch the video. This is the sort of thing that ends up as an Apple ad on TV. The instrument itself consists of a percussion kit and a "rubber band" bass/pluck instrument. But here the whole is so much great than the sum of the parts. Everything is edited and presented perfectly. The GUI is slick and the effects chosen are spot on - do note the on/off buttons under each effect control, I missed then at first and wondered why nothing would work... doh! It's got me wondering what I could sample. I mean, a notebook? It's ludicrous... Ludicrously good it turns out.
Your notebook method is almost identical to mine! Only I also add a practice chart along the right side for my students to record practice time. Even with all of the directions that I write in their notebooks, though, I still have students who never even open them during the week. =P
Hi, I'm Joy. I started ColorInMyPiano.com as a way to journal my piano teaching adventures. I now help piano teachers like me teach effectively, organize their businesses, and have fun in the process!Read more...
She was very happy with the results. I was told by her dad later on, during the Christmas break when she came downstairs in the morning, she just sat down at the piano and sang Silent Night with the right chords, and filled the room with joy. Hearing that was a lovely Christmas gift from her to me too. Listening to live music is always uplifting, however simple the tune is ?
Originally written for voice and piano by an Icelandic composer (also a doctor!), Sigvaldi Kaldalóns (1881-1946). I first heard this piano solo version arranged by Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson. So sweetly romantic and enchanting this piece is.
I love creating miniatures things, including music. This mini grand piano gift box idea had been in my mind for some years and have finally managed to turn the concept into a physical good. Ideal for wedding favours, party favours, mini gift for piano students, etc.
120 pages on 60 thick ivory sheets, this double spiral-bound notebook is overbuilt for songwriting and music composition. Heavy duty, full color cover. Inside, find diagrams of the circle of fifths music theory, piano keyboard, guitar and ukulele fretboards note for note.
There are a few Little Preludes in the RCM syllabus around a grade 5-8 level (Henle level 1-3). These preludes were meant to serve as lessons on the piano, and can still serve a similar purpose to us some 300 years later.
Appearing between the Præambulums and Fantasias, the notebook also includes complete Suites by Telemann and Stölzel. These are well worth exploring not only for their own merits, but because Bach senior clearly considered them exemplary prototypes worthy of study.
As the first new Urtext edition of the Wilhelm Friedemann Bach notebook in 60 years, this is an essential reference work for any musician or scholar with an interest in Bach. Anyone interested in playing or teaching this vital music would do well to acquire a copy, too.
I like to play the piano with the songs I love. Because Playing the piano helps me to make my mental health and mood better. Thanks, Melanie for sharing this excellent Piano Notes with the music Lovers like me. It will help me a lot to make myself perfect. I am waiting for more new Blogs. Best Wishes
By trying different soundfonts you can compare how a piece sounds differently when played on the different pianos. (This is why great pianists select their instrument when concerting, from a large collection available in the big concert halls usually, these get even trimmed and specially prepared by piano tuner or piano technician to meet precisely the artists needs before each concert.)
Previously, we introduced Music Transformer, an autoregressive model capable of generating expressive piano performances with long-term structure. We are now releasing an interactive Colab notebook so that you can control such a model in a few different ways, or just generate new performances from scratch.
We trained unconditioned and melody-conditioned Transformer models and made the resulting checkpoints and the code necessary to use it available as a Colab notebook. The models used in the Colab were trained on an exciting data source: piano recordings on YouTube transcribed using Onsets and Frames. We trained each Transformer model on hundreds of thousands of piano recordings, with a total length of over 10,000 hours. As described in the Wave2Midi2Wave approach, using such transcriptions allows us to train symbolic music models on a representation that carries the expressive performance characteristics from the original recordings.
For our dataset, we started with public YouTube videos that had a license allowing for their use. We then used an AudioSet-based model to identify pieces that contained only piano music. This resulted in hundreds of thousands of videos. In order to train Transformer models, we needed that content to be in a symbolic, MIDI-like form. So we extracted the audio and processed it using our Onsets and Frames automatic music transcription model. This resulted in over 10,000 hours of symbolic piano music that we then used to train the models.
Another is to suck them out with a vacuum cleaner or blow them away with a vacuum cleaner on reverse. Don't forget to take out your keyboard from the notebook to avoid blowing something unwanted inside.

The Millie Paddock Papers are organized into two series: notebooks and yearbooks. Listed here are some of the topics covered in each notebook. The notebooks have been numbered randomly by the NEC Archivist.
