  • Yep. 22 years of piano lessons. 6 years of flute. So i can butcher Chopin on a $38 piece of plastic.

    At the beginning I was laughing, at the end I was touched. Never knew that $38 piece of plastic can make such a beautiful sound.

    I was at school, melodica is the mandatory instrument, listening my dear classmates I was like "there's no way this thing can sound good" and here I am, you shut my mouth, this is beautiful, melodica is so underrated!!!

      You should see the lady playing the flute; There is another lady who plays the harp; There is also an 8 minute orchestral version; even a rock guitarist; Your song is very popular, and I try to find innovative ways to play it, but I can only play piano. Thanks for your genius!!!!

    The middle section is gorgeous!
    I think playing the melody is very effective with the melodica as you can control the volume with each single note and have more control over the phrasing in comparison to playing this on the piano.

      But you need to constantly blow the air from mouth and grip in mouth slip sometimes
      You can practice piano for hours can you do same with melodica

    THE PRICE OF INSTRUMENT DOES NOT MAKE THE MUSIC
    It is the musician who makes the music and I am really amazed.
    I recommend you to learn the "air circulation technic" in which, it keeps you playing relaxed without fatigue and continuous air and full expression. You are a real talent, congratulations!!

    Better than some hacks I've seen on 'real' instruments,
    I've got to say I love the melodica as much as my flute, clarinet, and sax. It's so much easier to just pick up and go with when you're just wanting to have fun and not practice.
    Good stuff.

    @yoick0  14 лет назад

    @GMJ7 I thought i replied to this, but apparantly not!
    Sorry for the delay. It is not at all difficult to pick up the melodica, with or without woodwind experience. You simply blow while pressing keys and sound comes out, the harder you blow, the louder the sound, and as long as you can sustain a breath, you're golden. Highly recommended for a fun go-anywhere instrument!

    Somebody mentioned that Chopin's music were written with a 37 keys harp piano. I guessed during that time 37 keys instrument was available to composers. I play a 49 keys Yamaha keyboard and I have no problem accompaniment the prayer group choir.
    I have to try the melodica. Observing the melodica videos, I believe that it will be very helpful to achieve a better breath control and melody-pitch sharpness for singers (and not to forget - memory and retention). This instrument engages the music student.
    thanks Ed

    • @NotLegato
      @NotLegato 9 лет назад

      +easyvivo what. something like his ballades definitely go past 3, 4, 5 and even 6 octaves in width.
      ...as an example, not that most of his music in general doesn't surpass 37 keys.

    By the way, is it difficult for a pianist to pick up the melodica without any previous familiarity with woodwinds?

    @HairSuitGentleman Definitely. If the bechstein was half sized, had plastic keys, and no action behind it to speak of. The keys have no feedback- so for repeated notes its far better to repeat with the breath instead of repeatedly tapping keys.
