Ahsoka: Oh wow...how did you break your arm? I've been playing for six years, going on seven.

Spidey Girl: Yay! Five years!! And good for you! I'm glad you're playing the piano now! ^_^

I should know more but I've been on and off but I'm going to get back with it and not stop!!

Have you heard of The Piano Guys? They really inspire me to play.

I love the piano guys!!!! Congrats I know once you start playing and praticing you will fall in love with your instrument again. I know I did.

~May I was running in the house with slippery socks on and turned a corner slipped and broke it and popping a piece of bone out of place it had to be reset you know that knot on your wrist that was the piece that moved it went up.

I know I've said it before, but I absolutely love their music! Isn't their cover of What Makes You Beautiful awesome?

Yes I love it And I am not a fan of one direction so it surprised me that I loved it.

Eeeeek! that sounds like it hurt! :O I'm sorry that you broke it!
But you're playing piano now, right?

Surprisingly I didn't feel it. And yes that was almost three years ago. What program do you use for piano? I used Alfred it advance really fast, I am at a level four now.

Alfred is really good! I used to use the Bastien(sp?) piano books but after I finished them I just play classical pieces by composer.

Oh! I use Alfred too! I'm just about to get out of book 5 and onto book 6. (My teacher keeps saying I should be out of all the books already, but I keep having things pop up.)

Oh yes I heard of that program. I did Alfred for the first four levels, it advances really quick. So then my teacher wanted to move into more difficult stuff so now I play a lot of classical pieces and hymns and offertory's. Right now I am really focusing on learning to improvise for congregation singing, and offertory's.

I just did what my teacher had me do. I did some computer stuff with music theory. I'm hoping with a new teacher I'll get worksheets or something. I work better when I write what I know down.

I have never heard of doing music theory on the computer. I like worksheets because you always have them for reference in the future.

Random, but I feel the need to rant about orchestra. XDD I found out TONIGHT that I have to prepare and perform 5 brand new pieces on Sunday. >.> We have a concert, and I was chosen to perform with the other orchestra as well as my own, so I have a lot of practicing ahead of me, and I'm annoyed that we have barely a week to do it all in. Ugh.

I will be praying for you, I know how frustrating that can be. *HUGS*

That is really annoying sounding- I hate it when they make people do that Sorry you have to rush :(

aww *hugs* sorry to hear about that JC it sounds very annoying and frustrating I am sure you will do great though and I am praying for you best of luck

Thanks so much girls! I really appreciate it! I practiced for a few hours today....the songs aren't too bad, I shouldn't have any trouble. I just don't know how the conductor of that orchestra is playing them, the tempos, what dynamics, etc. I'm just playing them as written. XDD

That sounds really hard JC How many rehearsals do you have until then and when's the next one? XD

There are no rehearsals. XDD I perform on Sunday. I have rehearsal again on Monday, but we'll just do sight reading. ;P

So you just randomly perform stuff that no one heard you play? O_o

Best of luck to you .

Pretty much XDDD LOL
And thank you

I have done that, I hate doing it. Right now I can't play violin or piano because I am out with tendonitis not sure of spelling) it sucks, I haven't played in almost three weeks, I am dying!!!!!!

I play piano and my favorite thing to do is either learn Owl City songs by ear, or make up my own stuff. I've got a couple pieces that I've been working on for a long time, and one that's much newer. I hope to someday figure out a way to record it with decent quality and put it up on my youtube page

I tried violin last summer, but it wasn't for me- i didn't enjoy practicing. And yet I play piano every single day if i can and i don't even take lessons anymore! (my teacher moved away almost a year ago :( )
