Q. I am in basic piano, and I need to learn these five-finger patterns:
C# minor
D# minor
Eb minor
F# minor
G# minor
Ab minor
Bb minor
(You can tell they are all minor chords).
Please and thank you!
A. I don't play piano, but maybe this chart will help you out?

How do you convert guitar chords to piano chords?
Q. i really would like to play a song on the piano. the song is kind of old and i can only find it for the guitar so i was wondering how do you convert these to piano chords or notes?
( F#m Bm Em A7) thank you!
A. Well an F#m chord is an F#m chord no matter what instrument you play it on.
You should really learn how to build chords yourself. I don't know how long you've been playing piano, but if you can't tell me what notes are in an E minor chord then you need to get crackin' on some learnin'
F#m is F# A C#
Bm is B D F#
Em is E G B
A7 is A C# E G
What classical piece should I play for my next piano recital?
Q. For the past recitals I've played Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata, Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu as well as his Nocturne op. 9 no. 1.
I have also learned Rachmaninoff's prelude in c # minor for my final recital.
For the one coming up next, I want to lean a piece by a composer other than these, but I'm not sure where to start my searching haha.
I want it to be challenging, but not impossible for my skill level.
A. Here are some pieces, in increasing order of difficulty.
Poulenc: Improvisation 15
This piece breaks my heart. It's easy to play. Also, free sheet music for this is difficult to find, so I'll leave a link for you. You don't have to make an account--mouse over the pages you want, right click, "Save As," and print from your desktop.

Liszt: Consolation 3
Very popular. I've tired of it, but you might like it.

Tchaikovsky: June (Barcarolle)
It has its difficult moments, but it's not so hard. Kind of sad.

Schubert: Impromptu op. 90-2
Don't be alarmed by the speed of it, because most of the runs are only E-flat Major scales or broken chords. You also have to kind of vibrate your foot for pedaling. You don't want it to sound dry, nor do you want it to sound like its drowning.

Chopin: Nocturne op. 27-2
It takes a while to learn each hand, but once you do, it's not so hard to put both hands together. There are also a couple tricky runs towards the end (3:39, 4:22)

Chopin: The Bees
I've always thought this etude was sort of adorable.

Scriabin: Piano Sonata 2-1
I'm currently working on this. It's rather difficult to bring out the melody. There are also a lot of tricky seven-against-this and five-against-that and whatnot. Very rewarding, though, and extremely beautiful.
