I also have a violin lying around that my parents got my for Christmas in 2009. I love the sound of a violin and have been dying to play forever, but... I need lessons. Bad. XD; I can't even tune it, and that's a problem haha. I think I'll just stick to piano for now. It's pretty safe, and I love it so much. <3 |
I've been playing the piano for over a decade. My piano teacher relocated last year, though, so I've just been playing on my own. I like the freedom to practice/play whenever I want, but I'm definitely not learning at a very fast pace.
I've also wanted to make a YT account just for covers and stuff, but I have a really crappy camera. I should probably invest in one. |
Is learning the piano difficult? I've been wanting to play it for awhile, but I'm not sure if it's really time consuming.
I mean I know learning any instrument is always a bit challenging. Just want to know how fast it can be picked up. |
Its not really that hard. You just have to remember every chords. Its a bit time consuming, especially if you're not really used to stretching your palms. xD
|
I don't think that's a problem. xD I've been told I have piano hands, so that's what got me wanting to play haha.

I would like to actually try it out though, since I think music is much more important as a medium than physical art. |
Uh...I'm great at the triangle!
|
I play the clarinet, and I am performing for my schools open day in a few weeks.

I'm learning Fur Elise right now and... oh god the arpeggios. :( |
I never learned to play an instrument, because music was never a big part of my life for the first twelve years or so. Also I've never been able to sing, which just kills me, because I love to sing. :(
Although it was compulsory to learn the recorder when I was at primary (elementary) school, so I did learn some of that. I can now play parts of the Sailor Moon theme song on it just for the lulz. I was actually kinda good at it at the time. If I did start to learn an instrument now, it would be the piano. I love the sound of it - definitely my favourite instrument. |

I used to do full on classical then I moved to rock 5 years ago and after I finish my Grade 5 rock exam I'm just gonna teach myself modern music. Quote:
Apart from that I taught myself how to play guitar (just over a year now) I know a bit on the drums and I used to play harmonica and glockenspiel for the school orchestra XD |
The arpeggios in Fur Elise really aren't that hard...certainly not as hard as the B section or the chromatic scale after the arpeggios. The whole piece is pretty easy though, as far as piano works go - I learned it in 7th grade.
|
I played it about 6th Grade because I found the sheet music on the floor of the music room at school (and I kinda stole it XD) I haven't played it for a while but I remember my mom made me repeat it so many times because it was her favorite piece she liked hearing me play
|
Quote:
My friends did try to and get me to do recorder lessons back when I was 7-8 years old, but I wasn't particularly interested. |
On the other hand, I have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever, so I'd actually rather learn how to play an instrument. But I'm lazy, so yeah. If I were to seriously take up music, I'd probably choose to learn to play piano or violin or some other classy instrument.
|
I used to play the clarinet but it got boring fast and I've always wanted to play something like the piano or violin
|
A violin would be very interesting to play, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested to do that at some point.
It looks and feels like such a melancholic instrument, I can imagine anybody who already has a passion for being a violinist really knows how to feel surging emotion as they play it. |
I want to play Moonlight Sonata on piano, but I can't think of one piece I really want to play on the violin.
|
I did take violin lessons but the circumstances sucked like hell - the classes were in a really smelly old building which I had to wait in for 30 minutes before and after, and the teacher was a prick :/
|
I started playing piano... like two years ago lol. It's pretty cool, I guess.
|
I don't get the whole school recorder phase. The people one year above me did it, the year bellow me did and mine didn't but it seems there were a lot of people who were made to learn to play the recorder. Kinda glad I didn't though. I'd prefer to learn flute than recorder. Violin would be cool too
|
lol i haven't been here in like ten years or something. the only string instrument i've ever played other than guitar was a cello, and that sucked so bad.
|
Für Elise (umlauts, people!) is the single piece I would love to be able to play, even if no other. It's just so hauntingly beautiful, yet uplifting at the same time. Gorgeous music.
|
I can play the guitar, piano, and the flute. Probably not going to learn any more. I'm just not in the mood for instruments right now. Maybe in the near future, though.
|
Quote:
I'd love to play an instrument eventually, maybe when I have some time to myself and I'm in the mood for a little more music in my life. |
Quote:
you should learn drums ;) |
Yes, the drums are great to play. I remember playing the snare drum. Well, anyone can play the snare drum really. I just got lessons. ;;
|
Quote:
Drums? Yeah, maybe when I'm into that sort of thing. :( |
Lightweights! I've been playing the piano since I was 4 years old. In primary school, some of my friends thought I had crazy Asian parents (yes, a nice little bit of casual racism existed amongst 5-year-olds in my school) who secretly adopted me from my real parents and chained me to the piano... but I liked playing it at the time!
I still do, to some extent, but we got rid of the piano, replaced it with a keyboard, and everything just feels so different. I'll still play it now and then, but instead of a Gershwin or a Beethoven or the like, I'll normally get my book entitled 'TV Themes for Piano' and play a Murder, She Wrote or a Cheers or a Fawlty Towers or the like! |
I play one song on one instrument. :U /LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
|
Quote:
Dude, stop breaking my heart. You are back for a little bit, then you leave. |
I want to play the Tuba. That instrument has some low sounds. :3
|
Never crossed my mind to play something like that. I just know paino, drums and guitar! XD |
I play no instruments. No interest.
|
Well some people doesn't like Pokemon. They have no interest, so we can't blame you with that.
|
Same here. I've got absolutely no interest in any musical instrument. I do love singing though. =D
|
I prefer being outside playing.
|
You can play instruments outside. Probably.
|
Meh. I'd rather not. Instruments always bore me after a week or so.
|
I used to play clarinet, but I didn't keep up on my required lessons for the school band in school because I didn't wanna miss any class so I dropped it after 6th grade.

I love being a smart-ass. It's so fun.
|
Until someone clocks you on the face for it., that is. I've never taken it that far, though.
|
The only instrument I played is the flute. I haven't played it for a loooong time, and I wish I could go back again. I also want to buy my own flute but they're so expensive. O__O

Oh really. I was under the impression that every day in this thread is a slow day. Or maybe it's just my presence that seems to kill this thread.
/brb killing self |
This thread does seem to move pretty slowly...
|
Not really, it is very active at times, but like the forum, it does slow down depending on the time of the day. |
The return of the Chatroom and the subsequent higher usage of that also takes away most causal chatters from the DCC.
|
I does indeed impact onto the activity, but I still post in here when I can! :3 |
This is the only thread I post in anymore.
|
I don't think I'll ever not post in the DCC, haha. I guess I just love random, general chit-chat.
|
I've always loved the DCC too. XD random-as-hell discussion. And most of my favorite people (Luck, Pixie, Capt. fabio, etc) post here too.
|
I got a post modded for being emo? lol.
Internet sarcasm never works. ;_; |

I'd do it now, but I have my hands full with a truly awesome game. …Wait, now I don't anymore. Damn summoners breaking my rhythm and killing my party. |
I hate it when my party gets wiped in FFTA. Dx
Though I haven't had that problem of late because I like to grind in FFTA. |
Quote:
|
LOL! OMG! |
Quote:
|
I have never played FFTA. :0 Not a clue.
|
Quote:
I don't really care for most of the sequels, but Tactics had a lot of potential. It was a story built around a war with the aristocracy against commoners and mercenaries after losing their jobs when the war ended, it wasn't some ordinary "SAVE THE WORLD FROM BLAND ANTAGONIST" that the Final Fantasy series seemed to love doing for so long. Nick, if you truly love me you'll play Final Fantasy Tactics when you get the chance. |
I am not a huge fan of the newer FFs. They just seem more of a graphical spectacle than anything. But that is just what I think. |
Quote:
It was just poorly executed in many spots. |
I loved Final Fantasy XIII's story, but I hated the actual gameplay. For most of the game, I felt like all I was doing was just walking forward and eventually I got really bored and stopped playing. Don't get me wrong - the graphics are beautiful, I loved the characters and even loved the battle system. However, being on the field ruined it a bit for me, especially since you don't get actual free reign until much, much later in the game and I'm a person who likes to explore the world a lot more than I could in this game.
|
Quote:
Fair enough. But one of the main things I didn't like, was how long it took to get into the ACTUAL good storyline. |
Quote:
However, it should be noted that almost all Final Fantasy games are like this. They're all really linear until you get an airship, go to the Great Plains, WoR, etc then you have quite a few side quests to do. XIII just took it to an extreme by making it look incredibly cramped. Quote:
|
That's very true. However, I think the difference between FFXIII and other FF games was that in FFXIII, there was pretty much no interaction with NPCs, can't enter homes, etc. No basic exploration, I guess. It just felt like being in a giant tunnel for the first ten or so chapters of the game.
|
Quote:
I didn't think I was missing out on much! My friends said they were getting bored of it at times as well and they love FF! XD |
Quote:
I sincerely hope Tetsuya Nomura wasn't scratching his ass and working with 3D Realms for 7 years, because Versus XIII seems like it could undo all of the mistakes XIII made. Quote:
Final Fantasy XIII was polarizing for most people. Many of the fans felt betrayed but I know a few people who loved XIII despite hating other Final Fantasy games. |

Anywho. The trailer for that FF looks amazing. :0 |
^^^^OMG that looks epically awesome. Go Squirtle!

Uhhhhhhhhh, I am not with it today. Lets try that again without the typo. |
Quote:
lmfao, saw your typo. XD; Well, I liked FFVII too, haha. Definitely my favourite Final Fantasy game, even now. Quote:

Quote:
HAHA! Shame it was a typo! Sorry for getting your hopes up! |
I know, I read your post and I was like, "...damn."
I swear I'm the only person who actually liked FFVIII. XD |
Quote:
Quote:
I loved Final Fantasy VII as a kid, but I tried coming back to it and it was so horribly boring. I can still appreciate and like the game, but I'll come back to it later when I have 40+ hours to spend on a JRPG. Quote:
|
I've never owned a Sony system past the PS1 so I haven't played any of the newer Final Fantasy games. I did enjoy Tactics, though. Probably my favorite PS1 game.
Also, I don't understand how someone could hate Squall more than Cloud. Cloud didn't even have a personality. And he's bipolar. |
Never really played Final Fantasy, I was always more into the sonic the hedgehog games. Though I did play a spinoff of Final fantasy.. Sword of Mana I think it was?
|
Miss me? |
