jc is 4 Jesus Christ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 i've been playing piano since 3rd grade. when i moved my new teacher made me start all over. it really made me mad bc i was about to move onto level 4!!! and then i had to start all over . my new teacher was a butt ...she made me feel really stupid cuz i had no time to practice bc my new school was really tough... so this year i was planing on getting a new teacher and continuing my lessons but we're low on cash and so i was like "i don't have to take lessons i don't really wanna ne wayz..." but now that im not taking piano ne more it reeks like fish and i want to take piano again, but it's been almost ahalf year since my last piano lesson and i have'nt been practicing... im lozin my touch and gift that Christ gave me for a reason. so when you practice and finally master a song think of me and keep playin' your heart out!!!

Carnanc Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 wow this is my 11th year of piano, and my average practice time per/day over all this time is way under 10 min I'm affraid. I've had lessons all this time, so I'd think I'd be good at piano by now, but I still play only as well as I did 5 years ago I'm affraid. I know lots of people who practice consistantly and get really good, and perform at dinners and things like that. I should be there, but wow. I have learned my lesson that practice is essential.

aloha918 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 i "kinda" play the piano.....i got a keyboard last summer, and i know basic chords, and can kinda sound like i know what i am doing, but that is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc is 4 Jesus Christ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 instead of playin' a single chord try mixing and matchin' chords and see if any sound good together... it's actually pretty fun. and u should also try playin single finger chords... like insteads of playin' all your fingers being used in the chord at one time, use each finger seperatly and try to play a simple song by using each finger seperatly in that key... it's like a warm-up exersize... sry if it doesn't make ne sense to ya...

Dudette Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) yeah, but I didn't have to do them since this year. 8 years of not doing scales then all of sudden doing a lot of them... It isn't easy.. but apparently, girls are better at scales than guys are because girls are good at remembering short things...like that. Something along those lines..and I was like "oh, that's interesting.." haha Edited March 24, 2005 by Dudette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc is 4 Jesus Christ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 ya im pretty good at my scales... all those years of drilling over them got them stuck in my head. once u've got the scale it's hard to shake 'em! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSoror Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Scales........ yeah I can do a simple one octave scale easy... once I figure the key out... but two hands and four octaves.... I haven't ever gotten the hang of that. Plus, if I don't keep doing them, I forget them pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
