A Guide to Music in Sky: Children of Light

[@pancakephea4869]

PLEASE READ FOR COMMON QUESTIONS. Thank you to everyone who has watched and/or liked this video so far! I'm hoping to make another music tutorial concerning key changes and such in the future, due to my schedule right now I'm unable to but thank you for your support. If you have any questions let me know! Here are a few of the popular ones I've seen: Q. Where do you get the piano? A. You can unlock the piano from the 'cheer' spirit in Valley. It costs 10 hearts to unlock the piano itself, but you need 5 normal candles and 2 ascended candles to unlock the previous 'nodes'. If you'd like to find out where to get the other instruments, you can check the official Sky wiki for instruments here: sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Cosmetics#Instruments Q. Where is this? A. This is an OOB area in the 'sunny' part of the Hidden Forest. I've made another video showing how to get there. However, due to the new seasonal update(s) the barrier may have been reinforced and this area will be inaccessible to most. The video demonstrating how to get there is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpnEaZadadGcq6s Q. How did you get the letters on the notes? A. I used a video editor called Filmora to overlay the letters over the notes so it would be easier to demonstrate in the video. This isn't a real feature in-game, unfortunately. If you would like it to be, suggest this feature to the TGC staff (there's a suggestion channel on Discord!) and it may become possible.

Thought you might want to know, but the scale you played at 00:08 is actually F Major so it should be F G A Bb C D E F :)))

[@izzxy0721]

So basically all the labelling of the notes is wrong :(

[@pancakephea4869]

@@izzxy0721 Yep, someone else has already pointed this out. I'm aware the notes on it are wrong but I don't have time to go back and rerecord - technically you can play any song in any key and it will sound 'correct' if you transpose it!

Music instruments has to be my favorite pass time in this game, I can't count how much time I spend just hanging out at hubs fiddling with my harp or horn. By the way, the horn is very nice to play with, it has this electro sounding to it when you play thirds, almost Daft Punk-ish 🙂 I've even found a way to play a few notes of "Still Alive" from Portal 👀

[@R1p71d3]

Wouldn't it be cool to have an orchestra of every Sky player with an instrument of their choice (or all of the instruments so far), how crazy is that? And yes I understand that there's an 8(?) player limit on the game, but I thought it would be nice. I think I would like to call it, "ThatSkyOrchestra!" But I suppose that title belongs to the composers of ThatGameCompany, but you get the idea.

[@antenna8836]

Only one issue I have with this... the piano at the start is in F major, not C major. #PerfectPitchGang Other than that, this is an incredibly good job of explaining music theory to people who haven't actually learned it yet without touching an instrument. Nice work

[@pancakephea4869]

Ahh, really? I wasn't sure whether this area was coded to be in C major or not - it changes depending on the area and background music (plus, this is an OOB area), which I should have mentioned in the video, thanks for pointing it out.

[@taqresu5865]

What if there's a music track I really want to play, but it requires a greater range of notes than the game allows (there's a segment where it completely shifts down a whole octave)?

[@klaviergavin9936]

Nice guide! But most importantly... how do I have to move my fingers for sth. like that 0:53-1:24 ??? I have trouble doing the "left hand" of piano songs together with the melody, since I don't know how to move my fingers. Especially since I'm playing this game on controller on switch. But even if I used the touch screen... how? So far I only play simple melodies with some (arpeggiated) chords, but not a smooth accompaniment.
