« on: August 23, 2004, 02:07:15 pm »
ok, so my sister had a keyboard for a long time, but up until today we didnt have an adapter for it, cause the old one broke.
so yeah i found one that works with it and i got it goin!!!
wee its a really cool one too.

so, i'm asking you peoples now.
i know how to play absolutly nothing.
so, do you know of any free websites that can teach you easily or something. cause i really dont feel like taking lessons and whatnot.
 :lol:  im not looking to be good or anything.
but my goal is to be able to play 1 vanessa carlton song. i think im gonna go for twilight, cause i hear thats the easiest.

i just dont know how to play  :cry:  i dont know where to begin/what to do.. blah blah blah.

I am an idiot... everytime I see keyboard I'm thinking computer keyboard, and so I am like, he's got a keyboard?  Big deal, doesn't everyone?

*cough*

Well, I can't help you with any learn to play stuff... cuz I can't play myself (wish I could though!)... but good luck!  Maybe you can learn and play for Vanessa next time you see her  :D

well....

do you want to learn music, or just how to play?
cuz if you want to learn music, i doubt any web site can teach you that too well. you're better off going to your local music store and picking up a teach-it-yourself book for piano. that'll get you a start.... still might not be enough to play/read twighlight. you'd be better off having someone just show you

I can play the first like... page and a half of twilight!

And i dont play piano... i got someone to tell me where 'c' was, and i went from there.... very slowly.... but i can play it.

I'd just guess to find some sheet music, maybe label the keys for the time being??

And yea...twilight is gonna be your best bet.. i looked at the other songs and about died.

Good luck with it... wish i could be more help.

well i looked up the noted for ordinary day, and i dont really know how to read them, but i figures, hey some dots are up higher than the others, so tha must be a higher note.
so blah blah blah, i  THINK i got close to doing the "just a dat just an ordinary day" part of song the very begining.
and i listened to the midi, and it seems i got "ordinary boy" part down good [1-2-1-3-2]. i just suck at everything else :-\

im way too slow and im not ready to use 2 hands yet.  :cry:
jeeze...

oh yeah the piano at the left end has "C D E F G A B C D E F" heys labeled i think it says "< AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION" whatever that is :-\

......sigh.

Treble clef.  Lines... from the bottom to the top... EGBDF.
Every good boy does fine.
Spaces- FACE'
Face.

Bass clef- bottom to top lines. GBDFA
Great big dogs fight animals. lol
Spaces- ACEG
All cows eat grass...all cars eat gas...whichever.

Does that help any?
