Q. I usually don't have the intensity of focus for piano sight reading and honestly can't comprehend how anyone does....
A. Yes Ritalin may help ... perhaps quite a bit. I would talk with your doctor about a good fit to try. Ritalin is addictive. Of course all of the ADHD meds have side effects. Piano sight reading is a slowly learned subject normally. Start with the simplest, and repetition on different music pieces. Slowly increase to the next degree of difficulty. It takes time for the brain to coordinate all of the learning centers involved with timing, note and chord recognition and hand response. You have to be real patient in this process. Learning to type is a piece of cake compared to piano sight reading. Take care !
How do I change an audio sound into bars and staffs?
Q. I just really need to know if there is any website, sort of like media converter, only using the website URL to change the audio into bars, staffs, and time signatures and all that.
A. There isn't
If you mean, is there a program that can take a CD (stereo) source file, and create manuscript (sheet music) by recognizing the notes of the music, the answer is -- there isn't any way to do that.
There are programs that will do MIDI note recognition of a solo track (one note at a time) and there are one or two which claim to be able to recognize chords and harmonies as long as there is only one instrument playing such as a piano.
But full track note recognition of multiple players and multiple instruments is beyond current technology.
So is 5yrs too young of an age to start taking guitar lessons?
Q. I got my son an acoustic guitar for his 5th B-day this past weekend, and he really wants to play rock n roll. But is 5 too young? He doesn't like to sit still for too long, BTW.
A. Absolutely not. If that is something he wants to do he'll amuse himself for hours.
Lessons are the key, being at least one a week.
Will he be playing rock and roll right away? No. A good teacher will go classical since that's what most music is based off of and he'll be learning far more chords that way too. Playing classical will actually expand on ANYTHING he wants to learn later.
AND..if he shows an aptitude for music, math is sure to follow.
I started piano lessons at 5. And I'm not warped beyond recognition...YET.
If he wants to learn he'll sit still...if not you'll know by the amount of dust it collects.
Hell when my refund comes back I'm buying a bass guitar to learn.
Music is a wonderful opportunity for every child and extremely constructive.
