Keyboard = Creativity Killer?
Do keys unlock ideas… or shut them down?

The Debate: “Keyboards limit creativity for non-pianists.” → False vs True for some.

Why It Matters: If the tool blocks you, your writing + ear training stall.

Team False or Team True for some, and why (workflow, theory, feel, intimidation)?

Incorrect, with the exception of one instrument. The question here is whether a person can play the piano or not, not whether the keyboard limits creativity.
1) The keyboard allows one to visualize all aspects of musical theory. It's no wonder that all music schools have a shared piano in their instrumental departments. I remember once discussing theoretical issues with our guitarist, who was incredibly proficient on the instrument but had no basic musical education – it was fun.))
2) Correct me if I'm wrong – all vst instruments require a MIDI keyboard. It's much easier to play a part than to click squares on the piano roll.) This is true for all instruments except the guitar. Why is another question.
3) Any process moves faster, from working on melody and harmony to searching and synthesizing tones.
I agree, the question is incorrect. However, everyone decides for themselves what is closer to them.;)

I voted for 'True for Some', although I'm not one of them.

That question makes about as much sense as asking whether a hammer limits the craftsmanship of a tiler. Sure, it may not be the primary tool of a tiler, but if you need a hammer, you use a hammer. If you don't need, don't use it... in what universe would an additional (and optional) tool limit your creativity...?

Big Congratulations!
Hi everybody! I am new to ToneGym and so far I'm having fun! I take ear training classes with my teacher and I learned about this on a Youtube video. Sometimes the chords are confusing to me. Do you have any advice on how I can improve?

Sing the notes you're able to identify. If you're able to accurately sing them all, then you're doing great!

This one?
It's pretty annoying that the solfègiator game does not give you feedback on what direction you are missing a note in.

Not sure what you mean. It tells you what it thinks the pitch is.

It's generally annoying that many of the exercises do you not give you the opportunity to hear both the wrong and the correct answer. Testing only works as part of learning when you receive immediate correction afterwards. I do like this platform, otherwise I wouldn't pay for it, but it's an issue with many of the exercises here...

rate my song out of ten/

BARS!” – 1ceeH0T

[Intro]
POW! I step in, beat go bang
1ceeH0T drip, make the room goin to hang
Ice in my veins, fire in my slang
Every bar hit hard feel the pang!
(ad-libs: “woo… pow… icy… ayy!”)

[Hook / Chorus]
BARS! POW! I spit ’em fast
Every single line? Yeah, hit it it’ll last
Drip so sick, make the haters gasp
1ceeH0T flame, I blow the past
BARS! SNAP! Punch like a blast
Ice and fire, I’m built to outlast
Step in my zone? Better move fast
I drop POW bars leave ’em aghast
(ad-libs: “pow! skrrt! woo! ayy!”)

[Verse 1 – POW Flex]
Step on the track, BOOM, I explode
Lines hit hard, yeah, they overload
Cold-hot mix, my style’s code
1ceeH0T boss, I own the road
Flow so sharp, like a dagger strike
Bars cut deep, like a lightning spike
Chaos queen, I take what I like
POW in your chest feel the psych!
(ad-libs: “pow! woo! icy! hot!”)

[Pre-Chorus]
Bars hit quick, straight to your chest
Flow so clean, put the rest to the test
I shine brighter than all the rest
1ceeH0T reign, never second-best
(ad-libs: “pow! ayy! woo!”)

[Hook / Chorus]
BARS! POW! I spit ’em fast
Every single line? Yeah, it’ll last
Drip so sick, make the haters gasp
1ceeH0T flame, I blow the past
BARS! SNAP! Punch like a blast
Ice and fire, I’m built to outlast
Step in my zone? Better move fast
I drop POW bars leave ’em aghast
(ad-libs: “pow! skrrt! woo! ayy!”)

[Verse 2 – Chaotic POW]
Clap-clap, BAM! I own the floor
Lines hit heavy, leave ’em wanting more
Punchline king, POW, hear the roar
1ceeH0T flex can’t ignore
Step in my lane, feel the quake
Bars so hot, they make the ground shake
Cute but lethal, style wide awake
POW! Hit ’em all no mistake
(ad-libs: “BAM! pow! woo! icy!”)

[Bridge]
POW! Pop it, drop it, let the beat bite
Bars so cold, I freeze the night
Small but mighty, I own my height
1ceeH0T reign my flow’s tight
(ad-libs: “woo… pow… icy… ayy!”)

[Final Hook / Outro]
BARS! POW! I spit ’em fast
Every single line? Yeah, it’ll last
Drip so sick, make the haters gasp
1ceeH0T flame, I blow the past
BARS! SNAP! Punch like a blast
Ice and fire, I’m built to outlast
Step in my zone? Better move fast
I drop POW bars leave ’em aghast
(ad-libs: “1ceeH0T! POW! woo! bars-bars!”)
