In memorial of Teresa Teng (怀念邓丽君)

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

She left us on 8th May, exactly fifteen years ago.

Teresa Teng

I was still in secondary school back then, but I was already quite familiar with all her songs.

A tribute to Teresa Teng on this day: Sweet as Honey (甜蜜蜜, pronounced as Tian Mi Mi)

Sand Painting (画沙) Piano Sheet

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Miss Yuan Long Lin or just Cindy Yuan is really talented. When I first heard that she is backed by Jay Chou, I knew that there is something about Cindy.

Press says that she just came back from US and she’s good in piano and violin (That can be verified in the music video of this song). There’s a violin and piano solo by her and a cello solo by Jay. I’ve also fixed this part in the piano sheet.

So, I did my part in the piano sheet. It’s challenging in nature so it’s really up to you whether you want to master this solo. :)

The demo for this song is absolutely helpful for players, especially for those who are either weak in sight-reading or lazy to read the piano sheet.

About this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, D minor and D Major

2) Lyrics and chords included

3) The rap part, cello + violin + piano solo parts are all included

4) Pay attention to the key signatures, this song always switches from minor to major

The piano solo part requires basic skill in appregio and chromatic scale. Playing scales is always an agony for piano learners but you’ll realize that it’s actually important especially when you come to classical pieces.

Ah Doe wishes you all the best in playing this piano sheet.

Sand painting (画沙)

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

We had painted heart from painted skin, painted veil and now we have this sand painting…

Seems that they have this common hobby.

No piano sheet yet. But this is basically how it sounds like.

What do you think?


Thank You - Jerry Yan (言承旭)

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I am going to offend Jerry’s fans if I say so: Jerry isn’t good in singing, he is better in acting.

That’s true, at least for me, until I heard this song.

Jerry Yan - Extra Freedom
Wow wow, Jerry Yan in Venice, with Rialto Bridge in background.

I first heard this song at Yes 93.3 and thought it was beautifully written and presented. After several times, I decided to find out what this song is and who is the singer. I waited and waited, and finally one day, the DJ announced its song name and to my shock, Jerry Yan sang it! That cool and arrogant guy in Taiwanese Meteor Garden 8 years ago.

Taiwan Meteor Garden

Before we talk about Jerry, I really ought to give a credit to the composer and arranger for doing a good job. Alex Fung (冯翰铭) is that composer who wrote many songs for a number of pop singers such as Andy Lau, Twins, Andy Hui etc. This time, Jerry improves a lot in his singing. His presentation surprised me and convinced me that he put a lot effort in his singing career.

About this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, Eb Major

2) Chords and lyrics included

Listen to the demo of this piano sheet:

This song is a good choice for drama theme. At some point, the chords and melody resemble typical Korean Drama soundtrack. Ah Doe recommends you to play it gently. If you manage to play it well, perhaps you’d impress the girl you like. :)

Jam Hsiao Jing Teng - The Devotees (善男信女)

Monday, September 21st, 2009

If I were to name some talented singers in today’s music industry, Jam (萧敬腾) is definitely in! He is really one of those singers who really catches people’s attention by just singing. I am really curious how much power he has in his skinny body. Wow, you should watch him singing Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life.

There is BOOMZ in it, you know? :)

Apart from the leading track called The Princess (王妃)from this album, I like this song called The Devotees/ 善男信女 very much.

About this piano sheet:

1) It’s in original key, G Major

2) Lyrics and chords included

I did not listen to the lyrics until I did this piano sheet. It’s rather sad in fact. The devotees in the lyrics actually meant the men and women who are devoted to love, but failed to achieve a successful relationship in their pursue.

And here comes the piano sheet.
