Producing Piano Covers

Introduction

Every day we find a  plethora of musical creations & songs composed, which are catchy, soothing, enchanting and we get associated with it.  Each individual either would like it either for listening or singing or dancing or reproducing it on a musical instrument. 

I like to share how I perceive to execute the same using a Yamaha Keyboard.

Process 

• Listening the composition repeatedly till I am able to memorise it to a reasonable extent 
• Memorise individual components in a stanza 
• A stanza comprises in most cases with:
• an introductory tune 
• first verse 
• voices used in it 
• middle music and
• back to verse 
• Relate each of the above component in terms of which sound reproduced in the keyboard will suite best. For example:
• male and female voices can be selected by flute, harmonium, violin, saxophone, musette, theatre etc
• background music needs to be identified with which theme it is associated, like:
• classical
• pop
• disco / modern disco
• dandiya
• indy dance
• Rajasthani
• kawali
• bhangra
• goan pop etc
• identifying the tempo of the background
• Combining all slowly and reproducing each component separately and then collectively in combination
• Try and achieve perfection to each individual combination.

Example of "Jag Ghoomya"  camouflaging such ingredients:

Complex compositions
Subsequent blogs will elaborate more on some extensively complicated compositions, chords and approach to reproduce them.
