Paul Learns Piano — Week 12 - Day 81

Описание: Welcome to Day 81 🎹✨

⚠️ We are testing the Beta Music Coach software, so things might happen. We just go with the flow.


-----

Welcome back to the adventure. The 70-year-old guy (that would be me) decided to learn piano again after 20 years… and I’m doing it live, one practice session at a time.

Fair warning: I laugh at myself a lot during these sessions. Sometimes because I’m proud… and sometimes because my fingers are doing their own interpretive dance.

🧪 New twist: my practice sessions are now using the Roli AI Music Coach (Beta). That means we get a sneak peek at what’s coming, plus the occasional “well… that wasn’t supposed to happen.” 😄
On Day 67, we hit the reset button and started back at Day 1 specifically to test the Beta and make sure everything’s behaving the way it should.

🎼 Here’s what I’m using for this journey:

ROLI Piano (49 keys!) + Airwave
And honestly… who wouldn’t love a keyboard that lights up like a rainbow? It’s ridiculous in the best way, and yes… it’s fantastic.
Airwave also tracks my hands on the keyboard and shows them in the app, which is equal parts helpful and “well, there’s nowhere to hide now.”

The Roli Learn app + AI Music Coach (Beta)
It tracks my progress and hands out gold stars. With my luck, if I miss a day, it’ll sit me down for a “we need to talk” moment.
And now with the AI Music Coach (Beta), we’re getting a front-row seat to the future of this thing.

📣 Roli has rolled out the new AI Music Coach, and I’ve been invited to use the Beta during my daily practice sessions. So yes… we’re seeing this thing before it’s fully polished. That’s part of the fun.

Ecamm (because of course Ecamm is involved)
Ecamm is the perfect program for streaming my practice sessions.

My practice sessions usually run 20–30 minutes. Expect a little progress, a little chaos, and the occasional “wait… what key is that?” Maestro may also make an appearance to supervise and silently judge.

Also, since I’m basically “playing out” on the internet, I did what any respectable street performer would do and put a tip jar on the piano. Subtle, right? 😄

If you’re watching live, feel free to ask questions. If you’re brand new to Roli, learning piano, or just curious how a 70-year-old ends up rearranging his whole workspace for a keyboard… you’re in the right place.

Let’s see where this goes.
One key. One click. One gold star at a time.
