ever since i got my new guitar i never touched the piano.

beethoven sonata #14? never heard of it before? it is hard or somethn? i learning more on chopin etudes, there are easier i think, unlikes beethovens. XD
sonata makes me crazy!!! XD

i dont know.. nobody 'special' to play it to. =(

piano is like sex.

if you play it for someone else, its making love.

if you play it for yourself, its masturbating.

haha i just dont know why i lost the passion to play the piano anymore after my ex dumped me

hey , nice threat here ! so, i just bought a yamaha psr e403 keyboard about 2 weeks ago. actually i bought it was for self learning -piano. i don't really wana use others fuction yet cus i'm more in piano first. is there any piano songs to play for , i mean easy ones ? btw , so far i've understand most of the chords and could play many songs with chords in the sheet. what you guys think i should learn now ? notes i think is abit hard but i can translate from guitar notes that i've learn from what i;ve learn from guitar lessons. thanx in advance 

play stuffs from avenged sevenfold they're quite easy.

the keyboard parts from avenged sevenfold are pretty simple, no?

Your point, sir?

Ahh I geddit... what an eyeopener! Wouldn't have guessed it otherwise, thanks for the info!  

i use final fantasy score to sight read, so when reach the part with alot of triplet i just cincai play and that was the end of it XD LOLOLOLOLOL

LOL, wat exam u taking? diploma or bachalor of music=.=" usually exams this gives us songs that doesnt sound that great! why couldnt they give us fantasie impromptu to play as exam piece   hhahaha

ATCL diploma's exam piece is fantaisie impromptu la. haha

anyways.. last year i practised that piece like hell and nailed it.

but because i ONLY PRACTISED THAT ONE SONG for a month or so, my right-left hand coordination got screwed up. and after that i can never play scales the same way again. my right hand is always faster than my left.

sonata no.14 3rd movement, I wanna die playing tat song =.= fingers all stiff le.
fantasie impromptu i can play, but messy, xD super super messy, =) my left hand basically wont hit all the notes, cos my right hand is going too fast?

hey guys, wats the diffrence with abrsm and lcm?

i have been taking lcm all my life and nv taken abrsm except abrsm for violin.

Anyway, whats the difrence with lcm and abrsm? my friends say abrsm is better, but my teacher doesnt agree. he say as long u score distinction in either lcm grd 8 or abrsm grd 8 is the same?

anybody care to elaborate

nay, i show my teacher and my teacher ask me sight read , so sight read loXD im kinda busy with my studies in school, so i use up my time practising baroque, classical and romantic period pieces! comteponary pieces not often except for secret.

ummmmmmm, actaully wat is the diffrence between smk damansara and smk kuala lumpur?( im from kedah=.=")
So there are no diffrence? ok! then i concentrade on lcm then

i'm new here, joining the big lowyat net family!

i play piano and keyboard as well as program MIDI. yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

u mean the history behind the piece?

everyone has their own preference of playing music, i guess? when i'm in a mood, i play serious, when i'm not, i cincai play.

...i actually wished to see my favourite pianist play something cincai, gotta be fun!

he might be just in the mood of playing cincai.

i understand how you feel as a teacher but maybe you took things too seriously?

wat to do. music education is expensive.
i already minus guitar fees lol. everytime my mom nv pay 2-3month, she see the bill want to faint

my teacher is charging RM120 per hour (yes! per hour/per lesson), as a normal fees for a master degree graduates. he teach privately though, and he IS really a good teacher.

go get yours.

omg...
so expensive..
really really expensive...
its better for me to go for music course in university..

i disagree with this. studying in college or uni will have more inputs than average music students. it's not the cert one going to aim, it's the environment.

how often you got to perform in front of everybody AND watching your fellow classmates perform so you can learn from each other? how about learning chamber music, orchestra, deep study of theory, extensive ear training, history, choir? yes, you can learn it by yourself, but you won't get as much inputs (and as fast) as learning alone than studying in group.  

certs and qualifications are definitely not wasting money if you consider the above statement. it IS yougster today who want to target the cert cause they can earn more money, thus making the cert looks ugly nowadays.
