What I am being accused of self promotion have you seen the rest of my posts?
Currently it looks like I can learn 1-2 such pieces in a month, and maybe that will improve. I made huge progress by learning Hanon exercises and can read, play and learn a lot faster now. I've gone through 4 new Joplin pieces and am focusing on my two favourite ones and then the other two as well on the side, and will continue to do the same until I know at least 10 to put them on an album and try to sell it online before progressing onto making an original album.
I do also have loads of original ideas but need to improve at music production still and currently my main PC is still waiting for a motherboard repair from Asus.
This year's open source music grants applications are due by June 20th, and I should at least have finished learning one, if not two more piano ragtimes by then.
Then I record them on my mobile and say that I need the £5000 for a better piano, proper recording equipment and software and also link to a bunch of original songs and covers I made last year that also need a lot of improvement so I mention currently I am trying to get good enough to skip right into years 2&3 of a music degree in 2021 where I hope to learn how to get better at recording and get proper lessons on piano and vocals.

Don't bait too much on album sales for a living, it's live performance that mostly does these days, for musicians. Unless of course your shit gets aired on the radio, so radios pay you, or unless your music is used in a film or an ad, then producers pay you
But it sure helps making a portfolio/set of demos
Btw, by changing the speed of a song, you kind of change the whole song. What I'm saying is that it's one way to make a new song out of an old one, two vids, same song. I say that I say nothing.
And sound engineer ftw
Its just to get me started and try to make extra money on top of my benefits to begin with.
When I tried doing my music modules on my degree back when I went to uni, I found sound engineering way too hard. I can easily play and record from the piano and have loads of original songs to work on, but my PC is broke until I get my motherboard fixed so for now can only keep on practising my piano.
It's a good thing, your piano is at the center of all things anyway, so there's that
