Melodies Of Life FF9 (Piano Collections)

I've finally managed to get this on here after the camera I usually use broke. The first real piece I've done aside from To Zanarkand and it only took 3 months to learn.

I've always loved this song from the game (And I've completed FF9 about 5 times now with powerful characters and lots of side-quests done so I've heard it often enough) and wanted to play it...So I did! Mostly thanks to CheonHoPark's video which inspired me to start playing the piano again/this song...But I'm playing it in C Major because I couldn't face all the ickle black notes, they frightened me.

As for mistake you'll note that during the downy part I stumbled a bit and naturally there are a whole set of other mistakes regarding speed etc but I was kinda nervous when playing so I'll chalk it up to that. Not going to help when I perform this lol.. I might re-record it eventually but I doubt I could ever play it perfectly anyway, well at least when there are people or cameras involved...

Please don't ask me for the music, if you haven't worked out how to read the messages people leave with their videos then you probably can't read sheet music anyway..

Have you taken lessons?

If not, how long have you been self teaching?

I started teaching myself about a year ago, and I downloaded the sheet music for this song in C major, and it took me about an hour to memorize the first page perfectly, but all of those sixteenth notes get crazy. I am used to sixteenth notes for my right hand, but not the left. I can play harder pieces, like Nocturne and countless Yiruma songs... have any tips for me?

@Eohyr Sorry for the late reply ^^ I took lessons for 4 years or so when I was much younger, stopped for 5 years and picked it up again and taught myself after that. Back to lessons now though xD But at the time what I did was just slow it down and work on fingering, once you can play it slow you can do it quickly quite easily! The only thing I regretted with that song is that I wish I'd learnt it in the original key, it's nice to place it in a different one but it is better in the original =)

Thanks for the reply, I've got this song down. I am not working on Houki Boshi! :D

[Flamzypants]

I want to learn this song. but i am no good at reading the sheet music... Is there any website with the sheet music&the letters of the keys on? If not could you message me on my page with the keys please? x

Nice transposition right there.. If you can read notes properly, then try your best to play the original piece.. That's a challenge.. That will be better rather than re-record another video of "Melodies of Life piano version in C Major".. :)
