Hi Tribers - we here, started as piano community in April. The point was to learn piano, stay motivated, improve skillset, meet friends that are likeminded. And then, we started getting in Tribers that do not play piano but play all kinds of other different instruments. We also have been getting in a lot of Tribers that do not play any instruments but like to vibe with us. A ton! I came to Skool cuz I had 2 back to back accidents and had to cancel a summer European tour (AND BURNING MAN!!!!) and needed to go to therapy 5 days a week and stay put… I made a piano community cuz I was new to Skool and knew that there is a learning curve - so I picked the lowest hanging fruit… for me… PIANO — as I have been playing and teaching worldwide for the past 30+ years… with great success! So why not use the piano tribe as a learning ground and help a ton of people in the process?!! But, I am not gonna lie, I just can’t. I say it how it is and often people don’t like it, but oh well… Piano only - felt, umm restricted… to me… believe it or not… that’s the truth!!!! I also produce my own music — in different genres and even became a DJ — so I can spin my own records… cuz none of my DJ friends wanted to spin them — the tracks were either too complicated or too long until getting to the point or had too much classical piano in them — pretty much “too sh1tty” lol, to be spun in a club setting… Even when I founded Alexandrova School of Music in 2010 and included more instruments and teachers in our curriculum - still felt restricted and not to mention I was close to burnout the majority of time due to overwhelming amount of quality control that was required from me. I gradually slowed that down… In 2020 (we all know what happened then) I founded V1B1N - and did a series of virtual worldwide fundraisers for victims of natural disasters (typhoons, tsunamis, wild fires, hurricanes, etc). The collected funds were going directly to the associated charities and I have not taken a dollar from those.

@Casey Fox this gif you made for me is so super awesome!!! And I didn’t ask for it 💕💕💕 thank you!!!! Also, super welcome here!!!!! Let’s celebrate!! Cuz, until further notice, celebrate everything!! (MMM) Cuz why not??? How amazing is this???

Sometimes we have a dot after a note. It looks like full stop (see photo below). - it makes the note longer and specifically half of that note’s value, is added to it. - example would be a dotted half note - regularly, without the dot, it gets 2 counts (beats), but with the dot - 3 (2 for its value + 1 which 1/2 of 2, for the dot) - another example would be a dotted whole note = 6 counts (cuz a whole note is 4 and then half of that is 2, so 6 in total) - one more example - dotted quarter note equals 1 and 1/2 beats or 3 eight notes. Please vote and let me know if this makes sense!

Hi tribers❤️❤️❤️, I practice & teach yoga and meditation most of my life. It’s a side project for fun but in reality is a foundation integral part of all I do. Always had in person classes until I started touring. Then moved a lot of these classes online via zoom and then later in a platform called kajabi when I had all kind of courses and memberships - from yoga and meditation to artist management and label services, radio broadcasting, piano, vocals coaching, music production, DJ trainings and also other instruments w different instructors… Oh snap!! I didn’t mean this to be so long!🤷‍♀️ I did ask you here before some time ago whether you want me to share some yoga practices with you… The tribe has grown quite a bit ever since and now is a good time to throw this in here - use it or not… 😉 ❣️This practice is good for: -musicians, -people that work in front of computers a lot -and anyone who is NOT in a perfect body alignment for long periods of time; -as well as if you are somehow chronically stressed or feel pressured by circumstances…. It helps you ground an focus, get clarity and calm.❣️ 🫶All level beginner friendly 1. yoga - stretch & strengthen 2. Intention setting 3. breath work 4. meditation - guided 5. sound bath - 432 hz tuned rose quartz crystal bowl & happy drum Let me know if you did it, how you liked it and most importantly - how you are feeling!!!
