본부 내려가면 피아노 연습! 1 month ago

꼭 배울 것!



피아노 익혀두기 1 month ago

피아노가 언제 어디에 놓여 있을 줄 모른다.
피아노를 익혀 두려면 많은 시간을 들여 연습과 노력이 필요한데 한두곡 익혀두면 주목 받을 수 있고 스타가 될수 있다.

Untitled 2 months ago

done it since i was 6 yrs old till i was 11, then…..we moved!
never took it again for 4 years until last year…Imagine i had to repeat it all over again. Now i finished the first bit of grade:1 (with of course a tutor) but not the whole grade…yet! and haven’t had an official exam for it…yet! But here’s the thing i want to start to learn it alone since i now know the basics.
wish me luck!



And then there was four ... electricity, magnetism, and love. The only 3 types of magic that exist

Ok ok, 3 months ago

so I can’t just give up on this one. Theres a piano tutor on craigslist offering lessons for 30 bucks an hour, and it’s like, man, I know I spend more money and time than that drinking each week, why not take a little of it an put it towards learning to play the piano, right?

So I think I will. The person offeing the lessons is only 19, which is kind of weord, but they lis there credentials and I mean, hey, if they know their shit then they know their shit. Plus they’re putting the money they earn towards college (or at least so they say…lol) so I mean, how can I not do this? I gotta. So I will. First though, I need a piano. Time to go scouring the clasifieds for a free one, hi ho!

I think it's time 3 months ago

to throw in the towel on this one. I’ve always realy wanted to be able to play the piano, I just absolutely love the emotion that comes through it. However, I have many many things I want to accmplish in my life, so as a result I just don’t see this one being plausible, there’s just too much work to be done, so sadly, it’s time to put this one to bed. Fortunately, there is a never ending wealth of piano music already created, and I can always turn to that to soothe my soul when it need soothing, even if I’m no the one striking the keys. Perhaps in my next life. Until then… :)

beginning my lessons soon 5 months ago

Over the past year or so, I’ve gotten it into my head that playing piano would be fun. I’ve always sort of wished that I could play. I don’t have any music background, so this may be a steep hill for me to climb, but I’m pretty excited at the prospect of learning to play. I will start lessons later this month.



Still working on Serenade 5 months ago

I am working on the dynamics today. I like this piece. I looked it up on the internet and found a cool Japanese? video that is set to this piece. I also looked at other people at various levels of mastery playing this piece. You can learn what to keep and what not to do by listening to others. I love music today.

lockstl asks, “I am 26 and I feel like it is too late to start learning. What are your thoughts on this? Also, how many hours a week/month are we looking at if one is serious about learning?”
