When I was 7, we were in a radio children's show singing some children's song and that was a very good singing experience. Today, so many talent shows are for "amateur" and "professional" singing. We would vote whose got the best edge and so. My question is, what are you looking for in a singer? Is it the one who simply has the attitude, the one who can hit the notes or the one that touches your every emotions?

My sister got a keyboard, but I've taken much more interest in it than she has. I never EVER intended to play, I've always wanted to learn the guitar. But wow, this is amazing! This keyboard teaches you how to play, the keys light up, and it tells you which fingers to use. I've already learned two songs. So I was wondering if it's normal that my hands are sore. I've been playing for only a week, but they're still so extremely sore. When I play they hurt, both my fingers and my hand in general. I'm pretty sure this is normal, but I'm wondering how long it's going to last? I'm determined to learn how to play, but sore hands are so discouraging. =( Sat, 27 Dec 2008 01:36:36 GMT xxxmetalettexxx http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1880006.aspx I have a 4 year old who loves singing and listening to music. She has been nagging me to buy a guitar or a piano. I intend to enroll her in a music class this summer. Most probably for piano lessons. But I am not sure whether formal piano lessons is suited for a four year old. Well, maybe mozart started at three but my child's not a genius. Is it ok for her to learn how to play the piano at her age? What do you think?

One day he listened to a classical song which was played by our neighbor, and he liked it. Then I downloaded two pieces of classical music for him to enjoy[em]happy[/em] If you know any good classical music, please share with me so that I can pass it to my son[em]wink[/em] Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:01:41 GMT youless http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1834856.aspx I ask this because my roommate knows piano, and I've always wanted to learn, so I'm thinking of asking him to teach me. But I am unsure of how much to offer. Any suggestions of how much? In Canadian dollars please (he he). Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:19:35 GMT candymarie http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1816225.aspx I've really about had it with my in laws. They are in a horrible financial situation right now, or at least they seem to think they are, and it's because of their own needless spending. Well hubby and I sat down to try to figure out their budget. We know what their bills are, and we know how much money they have coming in. The way we figure, they have an extra $600 a month, perhaps a bit more. Now that's not counting my MIL's money. She gets her own SSI check, which she pays her own portion of the bills with, and she teaches piano lessons on the side and makes money with that as well. So, doesn't seem like they're really too bad off on paper. Well, we do pay them rent, and we pay it weekly, it's easiest for all of us. Now since we've moved in here FIL has been adament about having his rent money on Friday, which is our payday. If we don't pay it on Friday, he's banging on our door Saturday morning. He's constantly giving us this story about how they desperatly need the money and they can't even afford to feed themselves and all this. So hubby and I have been wracking our brains trying to figure out why they're always so broke. But we finally figured it out on Thanksgiving. MIL basically invited herself over here for Thanksgiving. Upon doing so she mentions they have no stove or oven to cook on. So I ask, well how do you eat? Microwave meals? She says no, they eat out every day of the week. Well no wonder you're so darn broke! So hubby offers to give them a stove he can get from work. Whatever he has to pay for it he'll take out of the rent we give them. They say no! We tell them cooking will be cheaper, so paying for the stove will make up for itself. But they don't want to part with their rent money. Upon further investigation we discover that they're also going on shopping sprees on a weekly basis. MIL will go to Thrift stores and buy clothes and blankets and things, and apparently just toss them in a pile in the closet, never wear them, but insist they're taken to the laundromat each week to be washed. FIL will also go on a shopping spree at Walmart, and MIL says she doesn't even know what he ends up bringing home, it's never anything useful according to her. So here they're basically blowing all their money on nonsense, yet constantly complaining how broke they are. Do you know someone like this? Does someone you know blow all their money on nonsense, then complain about being so broke? Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:11:15 GMT katsmeow1213 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1819759.aspx My daughter has been taking piano lessons the last few weeks but she hates to practice every night. Today I'm going to cancel the lessons because the $50 a month I'm spending on them is needed to buy her Christmas presents. She wants a microscope and a present from Santa. She still believes even at 9 years old and I'm not about to blow it for her now. Maybe I can restart the lessons in the Spring but for right now I can't afford it if I want to give her a happy Christmas. Have any of you had to give something up in order to get something else you wanted? Thu, 04 Dec 2008 12:08:39 GMT Gumball http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1688539.aspx My daughter is taking piano lessons. She is ten years old and shows great promise. She has a fabulous instructor. Some of the pieces are difficult to play. However, once she has mastered them, she finds playing the pieces to be very rewarding. Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:48:47 GMT zebra2222 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1707038.aspx I have recently started taking piano lessons and I would like to know how many of you play the piano. If so, provided I practised every day, how long do you think it would take me to learn one classical tune such as the moonlight sonata by Beethoven? Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:43:19 GMT Zmugzy
