A little music background: I played the piano since the summer before sixth grade. I took private piano lessons with various teachers (not the kind you might meet at a conservatory of music or a college) until I quit about five months ago. Now I'm on my own, and I'm going to teach myself to become a virtuoso pianist. The daily practice routine I'm following is 1) Hanon exercises 2) scales and 3) three to four piano pieces. Also, I've recently taken the position of piano accompanist for my high school's choir, so I have to learn piano accompanist parts in addition to my current routine. The musical pieces I'm currently learning aren't easy though (Hallelujah for example). I need some advice on how to practice difficult pieces and what is an effective practice routine. I'll really appreciate it if anyone can give me some good tips!

The Piano Vs The Computer in Modern Popular Music?
Amon Jura posted a topic in Advice and Techniques
So I recently loaded up Spotify (Free music listening software for those less computer savvy :P) and on the opening page there are some album art covers of artists you may be interested in. Anyways it dawned on me that all of the musicians listed had no real musical training. It got me thinking. In todays society do you reckon that more and more people are not starting or sustaining instrument lessons instead using thier knowledge of software such as Logic or Cubase to create music in a digital domain instead? and is the piano still used as much as it was in the early 20th century or even the 70's/80s with such performers as Elton John and Billy Joel? Long question i know but just would be interested to find out what other peoples perspective is on the matter :D thanks in advance -
I am working on a composition but it has barely this chords: C, C aug, Dm, G, G aug; and in very short parts: Em Fm and Am. And little variations. The composition is for piano, written in the key of C major, and I am worried that most of the composition is repeating the C and D chords with little variations. Is this wrong? Is this of bad taste? Is this monotone? What do you think of the harmony in this cases? Thank you for your help.
