Deviation Actions
It's very sad to see that there has been very little activity within the group for months now, and I, for one, would like very much to see this change.
We have tried songwriting contests and other competitions, and they have all fallen on deaf ears so:-
I am asking for any of our members to come up with suggestions as to how we can get the members involved once again.
Any ideas? Please post to this blog entry and they will be considered. One of my other groups, Ispirare runs contests all the time, so you might look there for inspiration.

Competition Time!!
Since my last posting and, after reading members' comments, I have decided to start a new competition of the Graphic Art variety (and not music, as we have in the past).
From now, until the end of August, I am inviting members and affiliates to submit deviations to our 'Contest' folder with the subject 'Black and White' (our beloved piano key colours). At the end of the competition, all submissions will be put to public vote, and the winner will get 200 points, second place will get 100 points, and third place will get 50 points.
Rules
Colours used must be Black and White only .... no shades of grey are allowed. Just 2 colours - Black and
Suggestions please
We appear to be attracting members to this group, but appear to be unable to get any activities off the ground. All of my last ideas have disappeared into oblivion and nobody has entered into the spirit of any of our competitions.
If anyone has any suggestions as to what can get us moving once again, please let me know!!

Nothing to do here? Think again!!
OK guys, I'm a bit fed up of waiting for something to happen in this group, so we are now going to liven it up a little. As of now, I would like all lyricists to submit their lyrics to the Song Lyrics folder http://thepianists.deviantart.com/gallery/32706722 .... once we have assembled a fair collection, we are all going to turn the lyrics into songs.
If you don't have manuscript software, I strongly recommend that you immediately download MUSESCORE which is very good, stable, works in Linux, Mac and even Windoze!!! :lol:
We are out to prove that this group is not dead and buried, so I need everyone to help me with this....
...the prize?
A Greeting From the Founder
As PomPrint (https://www.deviantart.com/pomprint) had said, all is not lost in our contest.
It's official closing date had been January 1st. It seemed though after receiving only one entry people were not that interested in partaking in the event.
Even I myself failed to submit my own entry. I just want to get a feel of whose still interested in the idea.
In other news,
I've been on sabbatical (though I've had my moments of popping in). Now that I'm officially back for awhile I would like to get some suggestions from our new members on what they would like to see done in our group.

I have a random idea/suggestion but I'm not sure how well it'll go with the what the group is aiming for...nonetheless, I shall comment!
From what I understand from the group in general is that the focus is very much on piano music and how it inspires us. Taking into consideration that dA is primarily a visual arts site and it can be hard for other dA peeps to do audio work, how about posting up say a youtube link to some piano music and members can create whatever image (or write a song if they fancy) that they 'see' based on the music? It could be a picture depicting a specific scene to abstract to animation or whatever..as long as it's related to the piano lol.
So...maybe you can change the 'theme song' every month or so and see what happens. No idea, just an idea that suddenly came into my head
Good luck!
