Cramer was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, and grew up in the small town of Huttig, Arkansas. He taught himself to play the piano. After finishing high school, he returned to Shreveport, where he worked as a pianist for the radio show Louisiana Hayride.
After Elvis Presley performed on Louisiana Hayride in 1955, he hired his own band which included Cramer, Jimmy Day, Scotty Moore, Bill Black, and D.J. Fontana. This group remained his supporting band for much of that year; however, when Presley asked them to relocate to Hollywood, Cramer and Day declined to follow him there, preferring to remain in Nashville to pursue independent careers as studio musicians.[5] In Nashville, Cramer found that piano accompaniment in country music was growing in popularity. By the next year he was, in his words, "in day and night doing session".[6] Before long, he was one of the busiest studio musicians in the industry, playing piano for stars such as Elvis Presley, Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline, the Browns, Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold, Roy Orbison, Don Gibson, and the Everly Brothers, among others.[7] It was Cramer's piano playing, for instance, on Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak Hotel". While Cramer was well-established as a session player, he had a long career as a solo performer with dozens of his own albums and singles, including some Top 40 instrumental hits.
Cramer had released records under his own name since the early 1950s and became well known following the release of "Last Date", a 45-rpm single, released by RCA Victor in 1960.[8] The instrumental piece exhibited a relatively new concept in piano playing known as the "slip note" style. The record went to number two on the Billboard Hot 100 pop music chart, sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song was kept out of the number 1 position by Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight".[9] The session pianist for Elvis's recording of that #1 song, in a very early morning session (about 4:00 AM) at RCA Studio B in Nashville, was none other than Floyd Cramer himself.
Trying to launch myself on a solo career, after being Elvis Presley's pianist for so long, placed me in an unenviable position. Some people thought I was trying to cash in. If I had wanted to cash in on my association with Elvis, I would have done it five years ago.

Business and creators always need licensed music to use in their projects. Another way for pianists to make money online is by working with a music licensing agency. Companies like Marmoset provide music licensing for film and video and connect pianists with creators who need licensed tracks. Not only will you make money when your music is chosen to use in a project, but you may also get listed in the credits, which gets your name out there and could lead to more work down the road.
Patreon is an online platform that pianists can use to make money by collecting small monthly pledges from their fans. As a pianist, you can offer your fans incentives based on the size of their pledge. Many musicians have pledge levels ranging from $1 to $25 each month, and those pledges can really add up to a decent monthly income boost if you have a large enough fan base. Entice fans of your piano music to join your Patreon by exclusive content like behind the scenes vlogs or live streams right from your profile page. Higher-level pledges can be rewarded with things like VIP passes to shows, free music or video downloads, or sneak peeks of songs that are about to be released.
Pianists who want to make money online should definitely take advantage of two different opportunities on YouTube. First, you should set up your own YouTube channel featuring behind the scenes vlogs, music videos, or even piano lessons for students at various skill levels. If your videos get a decent amount of views, you can monetize them with ads and make some extra money. Second, you can allow other creators to use your piano music in videos they monetize. You will get a percentage of any advertising earnings directly from YouTube.
Doing virtual live performances allows you to do shows right from your cozy piano studio at home and broadcast them to fans from all over the world. You can ask for donations or tips during the performance or charge a fee to access the show. Be sure to promote your Patreon page, CDs, and merchandise throughout the show, too. You can collect tips and donations easily with platforms like Venmo or PayPal.me. Facebook Live provides a fantastic set of tools for pianists who want to offer live shows through their platform.
The whole world is lock down now, people are spending their time sitting at home. It is really great to find this inspirational post in this situation. I appreciate your tips and research. Hope the new pianist will love this.
A LOT HAS been said and written (more heatedly said than gently written) about the validity of pre-programmed accompaniments such as backing tapes, the live use of drum machines and sequencers (same as taped backing innit?), organ auto accompaniments and Dick the Drummer after six pints of Newcastle Brown and a row with the singer.I say Keep Music Live (now you know), but I also understand and appreciate the necessity for musicians' working environments to be self-contained. Cocktail lounges, pubs and small venues which can't hold - or afford - x-piece bands all have a need for big-sounding, small-sized entertainment. And where there's a need, some enterprising person will come along to fill it. And it may as well be you, right?You can buy backing tapes. But you can't be certain of their quality, the songs may not be arranged as you want them, they may be in the wrong key at the wrong tempo - you may not even be able to buy the songs you want off-the-shelf. Alternatively, you can buy an instrument with auto accompaniments - these are fine if you can play, but they can set you back a few bob. (Incidentally, if you think auto accompaniments are still boring and monotonous, wrap your lugs around the Roland E70. If that don't make you wanna play you ain't got no soul.) There must be an alternative.
THE FIRST THING you need to do is get the program and your equipment in sympathy. From the MIDI menu you select the MIDI channels for the bass, piano and drums. You can opt to send a program change here, too, and change the octave of the bass and piano.The drums are mapped to the keys used by Roland's MT32 et al and there are alternate maps for Yamaha's RX-series and Korg's M1. If you have a different instrument, it is possible to create your own drum map by assigning a MIDI note number to each of the 29 drum sounds the program uses. This can be saved to a file which is loaded automatically on booting. You can't, however, actually load different drum maps from within the program.There are lots of songs supplied with the program, so you can load them and start playing straight away. One of 24 styles can be selected from the Styles menu. These range from swing, country, blues and rock to ethnic, reggae and Irish.Any song can be played back in any style so you can give a gentle pop ballad the heavy metal treatment at the click of a mouse. The Expand option will double the duration of each chord. Shrink halves it. It may be necessary to apply one of these effects when changing from a rock, for example, to something with a two-beat feel. It's quite possible to Shrink a chord out of existence if it only lasts for one beat. Once you get a library established, you can load songs by style to save you wading through unsuitable material.Creating your own songs is easy. You can use the cursor keys or the mouse to move from bar to bar. You type in the name of a chord or chords. These appear in the chord entry box at the bottom of the screen. Pressing Return enters the chord and steps you onto the next chord slot. The program correctly interprets upper and lower case so you can enter everything in lower case - couldn't be easier.
If you mess up the order of the chords or want to change the arrangements, there are insert, delete and copy commands to help.Band allows you to enter lyrics, too. These appear at the top of the screen and become highlighted as the music steps from bar to bar - karaoke, anyone? You can transpose the song - useful if you're a singer or a guitarist with a capo.On playback a keyboard appears at the bottom of the screen and shows which bass and piano notes are playing. You can stop or pause playback - which is useful for examining the notes if they clash somewhere with the melody.I've got to concede that the patterns really are very good. You might think a program such as this, budget and all, would produce Mickey Mouse patterns, but there's not a bit of it. Most styles have several pattern variations which play at, well, it's not exactly random as we'll see in a moment.You can insert markers at a bar to select one of two style variations called a and b, useful when moving from verse to chorus, for example. This also produces a drum fill in the bar prior to the change. Neat. 2ff7e9595c
