Where you can tag someone, and ask them a question and they respond. Hmm. *Ideas start to brew* Anyway, Favorite hmm. I dunno. I really like Jarrod Radnich's arrangement of pirates of the Caribbean. I'm also starting to learn some of Chopin's Etudes, which are very fun and crazy. Sadly, I haven't been able to play for the past month or so because I broke my wrist, which is very annoying because it stops me from do the thing I love most. Anyway anyway, sorry for the rant. What's your favortie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your favortie? Yikes, sorry about the wrist. Earlier this week I popped my shoulder and I couldn't play for a day, that was bad enough for me... I'm fine now but geez. I like Jon Schmidt's Waterfall and All of Me. He's from the Piano Guys, you probably know who that is. The part where I put my entire arm on the keys is fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's honestly been a while sense I've played any of their songs. I think waterfall was the first piano guys piece I learned. If you could learn any instrument(that you don't already know), what would it be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Reading Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Do you have How To? (The book by the guy who wrote xkcd) And, if you do have it what do you think of the how to play piano chapter? Also if you don't have it, get it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could learn any instrument(that you don't already know), what would it be? If I could pull off drums that would be really awesome but I think my brain is already pretty hardwired to piano.

Shard of Reading Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Yup. I play piano. To be ahead of the curve of the questions I think you are going to ask I have been playing piano for the past 8 years. I also am playing Carry On My Wayward Son (Kansas) right now.

+Quitecontrary Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I love knowing that a lot of you play instruments. I don't, but I like being a patroness of the arts, because I enjoy arts and music immensely. Is being a pianist what you've always wanted to be? What else would you like to be and be known for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now. I was 7 when I started so it was more of my mom saying 'I think you should do this.' and I was like, 'okay' and it turned into something I really like to do. For one, I would like to be known as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are lots of members in the Shard, a fact of which I am glad about I also am an aspiring writer, meaning I try to write stuff but only about half finish the first section of an idea. So far my longest thing (by far) is a Stormlight fanfic that is sitting at 21,000 words, 3/4 ish done. I hit a writers block and will probably not go back to it for a month or so. 46 minutes ago, Emi said: What are scales? Lets see... how to explain these... You know how on in music there are 7 notes, with letters? A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, then it starts at A again. A scale is playing these notes all in a row, moving your hands up and down the piano. abcdefgabcdefg…. and then back down. That probably doesn't make any sense, but I tried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthless of Shinovar Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Given the choice between $10,000 now or $5 every week for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Tacos or burritos? What’s your favorite band/musical artist? What’s your favorite song? What’s your favorite instrument to listen to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the $10,000 cause $5 is basically nothing in the grand scope of everything. Tacos all the way I don't really listen to music because I don't have a phone (anyone else with this problem?) but I'll say OneRepublic/Imagine Dragons type stuff, yeah, that.
