Kathy's Tune

By OleJazzer on February 3, 2024 8:09 pm

This is a short piano piece for my sister. Back in 1968 I was a freshman at North Texas State University majoring in music composition. I didn't realize how privileged we were to have a faculty member teaching us nor did I understand how difficult the class was supposed to be. The instrumentation for our music was limited to whatever instruments the class played because we were expected to compose and play one minute of music each class in the style of the assigned composer. I wrote one piece as assigned in the style of Czerny. My sister loved it. This is nothing like that but I was trying to write something fun for her to play.

I'm not a piano player arthritis etc. Plus, when I render my long tones get cut off too soon which is why I did not submit anything last week. whole notes became quarter notes.
Also, I was thinking about a animation to go along with the piece where in the beginning two big eyes with small fingers are playing the piece and two other big eyes are watching it and then when the two big eyes look away, the struggling ones aren’t struggling anymore and they’re having fun and then towards the end of they look back, and the ones sitting at the Piano get serious again.

Loved this. How sweet to write something for your sister! And, for a non-piano player you sure sound like one!
On the rendering issue, I bet someone on this platform (but not me!) can give you solid advice.
Don't know if you're up for joining the Discord group, but there is a whole forum on there for feedback-- easier to get questions answered there than on the comments here. I had a hard time finding it at first, but there's a link to join on the weekly beats forum at https://weeklybeats.com/forums/topic/5927/weeklybeats-discord-server/
Maybe there's even someone here who will want to animate your video!
Anyway, great track! Cheers!

Thank you.

I will look into that group. I’m always looking at everything. Anybody suggests here. I’ve learned a lot in a little bit of time that I’ve been here. It’s been a few years but I’ve only been able to spend a certain amount of time now I’ve got a great deal of time to spend And I want to make the most of it so thank you for your suggestions.

It’s always good to know that somebody liked what you wrote too and I feel good about. I’m glad you liked it.
