Had a good time with my sister. I'm so stupid, I got my niece a toy that is for 3+ ages, and the she is 5 months. That was an epic fail. But other than that I had fun. Sung some Christmas songs and ate a lot!
I didn't get myself anything this year, but my sis got me a wireless microphone and a new piano, so I'm happy. :)
Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays :)

Is it selfish and nasty to already be looking forward to next Christmas? Yes? Okay well, I can fantasize about my birthday.
For my birthday I shall hope to be aquiring an keyboard, any suggestions? I want one where I can record the music I make on it and put it on my computer etc, I'm not afraid to spend the big bucks either, but the cheapest for best quality would be helpful :)

I'd help, but I only really venture into stage pianos =/ I play a bit of synth as well, but I'm not an expert. What do you want from it, voices-wise? If you're looking for the standard sort of things, pianos, brass, strings, synth pads etc I have no real experience... I personally have always found that unless you're spending a lot of money, they sound cheap, but a more expensive keyboard is a great investment. Any sort of keys instrument will improve your general musical skills, especially if you're planning on learning to read music on it. |

I didn't know you played, or are you just starting? I can play, by self learn. But now that I'm taking lessons soon, I needed a new piano because my old is embarrassing. But yeah I guess I can say I can play.

But yeah I guess I can say I can play. Sounds good. I've personally never had a piano lesson, but if you want to learn properly it's the best way. I'm self taught, and my technique isn't exactly perfect :P |

But either way I can learn songs really quick.

If you're self taught, you almost certainly won't have the technique correct, which finger to use, pedals, touch etc. but a course sounds like a brilliant idea. |

I've been playing since I was 7, and I'm turning 14 in January, and I'm up one level for my age (not really that special if you see some other kids that play), and I am currently playing some heavy shit. Solfeggio by C. Bach (Sebastian's most successful son), Valse in A minor (forgot the opus no. since I'm not currently beside my piano books), I started Beethoven's 27th Opus 90 sonata (I remember that cuz 27x3=81, which is 9 less than 30x3, and 9 is 3x3 and, yeah, I have a strange mind. I play a few other small songs. |
 Fuck yo punk ass! Da BBC Kingz gon' getchu! |

I started playing piano when I was four. Taught by my dad, who is a professional musician. Didn't take long for me to give up playing though, about a year or so - typically for me, it's a co-ordination issue. (I can barely handle using a mouse, let alone get my clumsy hands to master the piano!) Anyway, good luck Steph, hope it turns out well for you. Edited by user 27 December 2009 12:44:43(UTC)

Any sort of keys instrument will improve your general musical skills, especially if you're planning on learning to read music on it. Ah, bummer. But yeah basically what you said are the main ones I want. There are some great ones at my school, they're the only good instruments in the music department. I already know the basics of playing the piano from lessons in music, but I'm far from saying I can actually play you a song. Still, I'd rather just play around with chords and simple stuff really because I love doing it in music and I can come up with really nice tunes, just problem is I don't have anyway of recording them so they're kinda lost in the sands of time :( |
