I’m looking for new alternative bands,

I also really like alternative music with piano in it too,
such as the rocket summer, & the real you.

thanks. (:

I took piano lab as an elective last year in school. I "sky rocketed" as my teacher said and I am more advanced then most of the kids but really Im just on book 2 while theyre still on book 1. What he doesnt know is I basically skipped all of the middle of book 1 and played a couple songs from the end on book 1 that I wanted to play and when he saw me he upgraded me to book 2 (level two songs basically). Well the thing is in book 1 I learned songs in a few hours because they were so easy and I got used to it coming naturally. Now with the harder songs I get REALLY frustrated and just give up!
Im trying to get used to combining left hand and right hand with the left hand playing something totally different then the right hand. In all my other songs it was just chords or broken chords in the left hand. Now its REALLY HARD! plus it’s almost impossible to learn a song from the book if I dont know what its supposed to sound like because Im terrible with counting beats and stuff so I only do good with songs if I know how they go. So my Q is:
How can i practice reading music; I mean the beats and stuff? I know what a half note and a whole note is but i haave trouble keeping time.
Is there an easier way to read notes that go way off the staff its really annoying to try and figure out a note that is like 5 ledger lines from the staff!
How can I get better with left and right hand playing. I need patience but I dont have much of that!

thanks:)

PS Im thinking of taking lessons but I dont have alot of $ and I dont want to waste it. Im taking piano 2 as an elective this yr so should I wait to see instead of spending the $?

Okay so I painted my room a few months ago and FINALLY I want to finish it and decorate it! My room is blue/green with one wall silver. Then I have rope lights (I don’t have like a light in the ceiling) right at the top of my walls bordering the ceiling. I have my mom’s old furniture which I love and it’s kinda antique-ish off-white kinda with silver accents. Then I don’t have a walk-in closet but I took the accordion style doors off which were SO annoying and I’m looking for some beads or curtains to put up instead of my doors. Anyways, my room is kinda boring! There isn’t anything on the walls and I want to change that.
I LOVE fashion and music. I want posters of my favorite bands, but I can’t find any! allposters.com doesn’t help me neither does ebay really. My favorite bands include: Paramore, Jack’s Mannequin, The Rocket Summer, Boys Like Girls, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Cartel, Hellogoodbye, All Time Low, The Maine, The Academy Is…, Motion City Soundtrack, Metro Station….. I could go on forever! I would like to portray my love of music somehow with posters or something but like I said before I can’t find any! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I also love playing piano and guitar.
Second, I love fashion! I love everything about it! I want like posters that represent this, you know? Like runway posters, fashion icons, etc. I’m not really sure what I even mean by this, but aannyy ideas I would love! I love bohemian looks but I also love sophisticated preppy looks! Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Betsey Johnson, Stella McCartney, BCBG, Marc Jacobs, everything! I’m just looking for fashionable items to put in my room!
Also, I love city skylines. I’m looking for a Chicago skyline poster! But I think I found one on ebay..
I also love kinda.. I’m not sure how to describe it?.. Like incense and peace and waterfalls and bamboo (I have a bamboo tree? stem? I don’t know what it is) and love and feng shui type things. Any ideas with that??

Okay that is about it! I know it’s long, but any ideas are MUCH appreciated!! Best Answer will be chosen! Thank you!!!

so i am writing a book kind of copying the saddle club but i wont publish it or anything im just writing it for my own entertainment and i wanted to know if anyone had ideas for names this is what i need

people:

girl #1 who is kind of like stevie she will be representing the side of myself that is like if someone tells me to do something i immediatly do the opposite she is very stubborn and does NOT like to be bossed around, she can do anything she sets her mind to

girl #2 is like carol or lisa, she is representing the side of me that only comes out at night when everyone is asleep, she is very emotional, she hates it when her parents fight, she has a lot of money and is embarrased by it and doesnt want people to think that her life is any easier than other peoples, because its actually a lot harder with a family that doesnt understand her or her love of horses

girl # 3 the new girl, her single mom doesnt understand her love of horses she thinks she will grow out of it and lets her have riding lessons but deep in the girls heart she knows that this wont be like soccer, softball, or piano this will be like living a dream for the rest of her life (this girl isnt really like any of the saddlle club characters)
im not going to have a veronica because frankly i think she kiind of ruins those books i mean they would be interesting enough if they just ha dother problems like training a wild horse, annoying sbilings and things like that

horses:

horse #1, girl #1’s horse (half-leased) pretty normal, warmblood, buckskin

horse #2 girl number 2’s horse very energetic likes to play in any way – hates tack, quarter horse mix, pinto/paint

horse# 3 horse that girl # 3 rides but not her horse, a smallish horse, allergic to a lot of stuff

horse# 4 beginner lesson horse palomino pony pretty lazy

there will of course be other horses in the story so any other horse names owuld be great too – also i dont have trouble thinking of names like ’spot’ or ‘rocket’ or any other ordinary horse names its just i need help thinking of really cool names

but what i really need the most is a name ofr their stable:
i thought of east ridge but it sound slieke a fancy boarding school so ya im really stuck on that plus i think ive heard east ridge somewhere before

thanks soo much for your help i know this is really compliscated you dont need to think of names for everything just i would apprecaite any ideas thanks

My background isn’t all that bad. My dad’s a doctor; I live in a house with my mom, older sister, dad, three cats, dog, and my fish. We aren’t in deep financial trouble. I’m almost fifteen and I go to a good school, get straight A’s in honors classes. I used to play basketball, softball, and soccer, but I gave up recently. I still plan on doing track. I play three instruments: piano, saxophone, and guitar. In the past, I’ve never considered myself to be troubled, emotionally, physically, mentally, okay I am a little crazy, but that’s from my mom.

My mom had breast cancer and is a survivor. She has clinical depression and takes Celexa. She has no job, and is a stay at home mom. She spends her day doing laundry and talking to cats. She’s a packrat, and our basement is filled with junk, and she freaks out if we touch. OCD? Maybe. She’s threatened suicide in the past, and she’s always and threatened and still does threaten to leave, but we know that she doesn’t have enough remaining memory cells to maintain a stable job, other than an artist, which she used to be. She really is crazy, and always thinks that our neighbors are hiding nails in the driveway, and other weird things like that. My dad owns his own office, and gets by. Lately he has been stressed, and has panic attacks if we don’t record his shows on tiVo. He’s a great dad though.

My first memory is that my crib was stuffed with too many stuffed animals so I had to share a bed w/ my sister and my mom would sleep w/ us we’d play a game called "bugs" and we’d give each other back massages, just mom-daughter love, and i remember it wasn’t dirty we kept our clothes on and it was just our back and neck. I remember I’d wipe boogers on my older sister’s dresser and my sister would always fall asleep first. One specific time I walked across the room to get water w/ out tripping and my mom said I had “great night vision”. I don’t know why I remembered that night, but it must be important if I do, right? So is it questionable why I am my mom’s favorite child?

I remember going to baseball games w/ my dad and having to go to the men’s’ restroom because I was too young to go to the women’s’ bathroom by myself. I remember being fascinated by penises, and I knew they had no significance other than peeing.

I remember drawing bathrooms, guys thinking about girls outside the bathroom, and penises. I knew it was bad though because I hid it from mom and dad and anyone else. Keep in mind I was four years old or so. I remember I’d draw and draw and people woul look at my picture and I’d say the penis was a rocket ship and I’d change it so that it was. I can’t remember what they said about me drawing bathrooms, but maybe because I thought the word “poop” was hilarious at age 6 and under. The pictures I grew out of then. And I no longer shared a bed with mom or my sister.

I remember letting water run on me when I took baths and I’d do this daydreaming I was peeing with a dick and do this until I got a tingly feeling. Keep in mind I’m still 5, 6, 7, or 8, and I really didn’t know what sex was besides guys stick the things in girls and egg + sperm = baby. I didn’t know all the complexity of it. I did this for a long time until recently or in the past year or two I found out I had orgasms. That disturbed me but I’d still sometimes do that. I still do it randomly today but I don’t think of gross things, I just want the feeling. Masturbation has health benefits actually like relieving stress which I have. I still have a feeling of disgust with myself afterwards. I do it without water too with a Pokémon stuffed animal I have. I don’t think about anything besides that feeling. Out of curiosity I looked at porn. Yeah I know, gross. It made me disgusted afterwards and disturbed of course but excited, but I thought the dicks looked gross and only the girls were pretty. That kind of confusion is not normal. For some reason I enjoy making myself sick and excited at the same time, like a roller coaster I guess.

At first I thought this whole thing right now was a rocky introduction to puberty and out of control hormones that I wasn’t used to, but I put together pieces of my past. Was I sexually abused? Am I imagining? If I was abused, who did it then? A stranger I don’t know? A babysitter I don’t remember? My trustworthy dad who has never ever hit us or barely yelled but still keeps secrets of his childhood? Crazy cat lady mom that is going to have Dementia any day now? Uncle Tom who did drugs and alcohol? My piano teacher that clearly was trying to poison the kids with her juice by saying it was “too sweet for her” and gave me pearl earrings last summer even thought I quit her lessons a year before that?

I really don’t know what to make of this. First of all, this could be my imagination. Maybe I’m crazy, no I am crazy, already established. I might want to have real problems. Or maybe I’m doing this for attention, even if everything above this is truth, nothin
@ "D" – I might have given personal information but it doesn’ include names, location, phone numbers, or e-mails. How can someone stalk me? Thanks for saying it sounds like a chapter from a book though. That made me really happpy.

@ "Mick" I think you’re right and thanks. But thin veil of rage? WTF?

I’m looking for bands / singers that use the piano, guitar and maybe violin primarily with a bit of drumming. Hopefully you can understand what sort of music i’m looking for by that! I absolutely love, The Rocket Summer, Jose Vanders (seriously recommend), Gregory and the Hawk, Adele, The Fratellis lot’s more but I hope you get my drift. I constantly look on myspace and such for new bands but I can’t get over how people find really amazing bands randomly and I can’t get any anywhere! Thanks so much.
