In this episode of Learn Piano: A Personal Practice, I explore the skill of transcribing, the process of turning sound into written music. I share a personal story of remembering my grandpa playing āIt Aināt Gonna Rain No Moreā and how I transformed that memory into music on the page and at the piano. Youāll hear how a simple remembered tune can become a beautiful, playable arrangement by outlining the melody, adding harmony, and dressing it up creatively. Itās a touching reminder that music lives within us, waiting to be rediscovered and shared.
