PianoBeast10489 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I think its funny how you feel the need to try to embarass me I'm not trying to embarass you, but you're being very hypocritical. I mean, you used pretty much my exact words to him... so, seriously, stop. and you obviously know I'm right, or else you wouldn't feel embarassed.

bob_the_sane Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ok, the articles are up and looking great but what about this lessons forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I thought it was an either/or situation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_the_sane Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Oh right....:thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I thought it was an either/or situation... It wasn't, actually. I'd completely forgotten about the lessons idea. Will revive it with the rest of the staff and get the ball rolling...or re-rolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 What about a performance addition to the lesson section we have now? Teachers can take up a piano student say who is working on a particular piece. This student can post frequent recording updates as the teacher makes comments and helps the student along the way? What do you think? I believe there are quite a few qualified on this site to help out for quite a few instruments. This would be interesting, very helpful, and motivating.

Mike Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 That all depends on whether we have someone willing to provide piano instruction. Will Kirk's volunteered himself for the classical guitar equivalent, for example. That said, I believe it's a lot harder to work on performance technique via the internet than it is to improve composition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montpellier Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I can't see how this would work. One looks at a pupil's posture, hand position, what the hands (and everything else) are actually doing, not to mention helping pupils analyse how to approach particular bits ...which usually means a demonstration or two...or three. It's sometimes possible to give general hints, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just wanted to say well done and thanks to Mike and co for organising this, it appears to have been (and continues to be) a great success! :P:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 No problem ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 No problem :) Correct me if I'm in the wrong here, but are you trying to take credit for other people's work? I don't recall you helping to organise the lessons initiative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm just joking, since I thought of the idea in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Iirc, it was Nickthoven who came up with the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 . . . I made the topic, ..when did he come up with the idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 In his think lab, at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CreationArtist Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yes, as long as I (or anyone else) can do them as podcasts This is another very good idea. We should have some foundation lectures/podcasts for the site to possibly advertise YC as a [knowledge] resource. Music history would be a good start...Robin wrote the lectures on Jazz which are great...so many of these wiki articles are short and incomplete. Why not make them into extensive lectures/podcasts/series? Who's willing to start a podcast and also who is qualified to talk about what? If you're reading this, post in this topic (just to get an idea) what you feel you know enough to talk about for more than 5 minutes (meaning you'd talk, give musical examples, be able to have a series on this topic, we might possibly have video depending on your resources but that's a bit much for now).
