If you need to practice your music skills, tourists and children are viable audiences; the asylum is full of the latter. Since music only gains experience upon you earning money for playing music, there's no point in playing to an audience that you're unable to please. Only humans and demi-humans will pay you for entertaining them; animals, undead, and other monsters will not tip you, even if neutral.

Pianists should seek out large gatherings of NPCs to make the most out of their time. Highly populated cities like Mysilia and Palmia are good starting locations so long as one performs out of the guards' hearing. The Fortune Bell has a particularly high NPC density, especially on the second level. It's also possible to create locations of densely-packed NPCs in the player's towns, such as a dormitory. | Pianists should seek out large gatherings of NPCs to make the most out of their time.
