Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 It's the opposite with me. I'm more at home than I am out. I think I've become a bit of a hermit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 Even so... I have the least free time in my family. I have at most 6 hours of free time with my friends every week... other than spending time on DCW on my iPhone when I'm out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misaki-chan 164 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 The thing is, I tend to be left alone unless needed. So I don't really spend much time with my family... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lia. 45 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 Yup! Definitely. Meh, I don't excel in piano either. If you're going by the Chinese piano examinations, you go up a level every time you take the test, correct? I never did enjoy taking tests, so I took one and then decided I was just gonna play. I don't really have piano lessons anymore, all I do is perfect a few of my favorite songs and teach myself a few interesting ones. I can't believe I took months to practice this one song...and completely forgot it. Still, which one do you prefer? I really want to learn guitar, I only know a few chords and a bit of strumming. Though I've been messing around with it lately... *spent half an hour yesterday randomly strumming on guitar* Hey, it's really fun and you can find such great tunes! I have a tuner and I do it based off of that. But my stupid G-string refuses to tighten itself... Everything else is tuned, just that one. Stupid. String. I don't really do the piano exams either. I remember the certificate saying 'Merit' and 'Distinction' in english on it. Same here I'm just gonna play piano Wow. Same for me too. My parents cancelled piano lessons since they saw that I lost interest in it. I played piano, sight-read some piano pieces...etc a while ago (like just now!) and my mother remarked that I have musical talent... I don't believe her but I can't blame her either... after all... (I won't tell anyone because I don't want to brag or anything...) Hmm... I was gonna say 'Guitar', but since you really want to learn it, you can take it I'll be considerate and take piano xD I agree!! I came up with half a tune 6 months ago with the promise that I'll turn it into a worship song. My song was only half a tune. Was not completely structured out. I think I might continue developing it... dunno Good Luck, Pyre. If it's not wound properly and you just can't manage to tune it correctly, you might have to re-string it. Like when someone has a broken string. But if the sound is still fine, you won't actually need a new one. You'll just have to string it differently.

Ahhh then it's a waste you didn't continue with music... I didn't have much talent with the piano and had to struggle and work hard for so many years!!!! I love music tho... And very fond of compositions... It took me years before I could get to grade 7 and cuz I was too busy at that time I had to give up one of my extra activities... And my parents felt that I should just take up at most two instruments at a time, so I just dropped my piano without completing my last grade... :/ I'd take it back up Once I have the time... :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IdentityUnknown 216 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 Gotta go soon, but, LIA, you can take guitar, I'll do piano, or we can alternate. I really don't care and besides, I've got no experience with guitar and mine needs to be taken care of ( leaving the guitar in the attic for 10 years...not a good idea, dad).

Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 ^kekeke great! But erm... Any idea which instrument we should use for this song??? Guitar or piano??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IdentityUnknown 216 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 Are we talking about the harder one or the easier one? I think both could work... *sighs* If only we could actually get together and perform it...that would be easier. KKLT, you still up for piano or will that be Lia and me?
