Should I learn to play the piano?
 

I have just acquired £250 ($400 or so) & I am pondering whether or not I should buy a keyboard. I once had an ambition to play the guitar but that quickly faded. I only want to play a few particular tunes on the piano so I'm wondering if it's a worthwhile investment. I could spend the money on a car or on upgrading my computer but I would like to spend it on something that I can use & something that I can remember.

Piano is pretty classy dude, that sounds cool. Not many people take the time to learn that art anymore. If I were to spend money on lessons, I would take piano or violin lessons.

Or you could buy a radeon 9800xt rock:

learn jazz piano and lounge shit

i've played violen for 5 years, going on 6. it depends on your taste. do whatever.

Violins are for women. Fag.

Fireal plays the flesh pipe biggrin:

May I take the liberty of asking why a gay person has an incredably hot chix in his sig?

Drums. Nothing like beating the crap out of shit.

[quote="The Gay Blade!":6794b]Very relaxing instrument and garunteed to impress many people. But you wont get any keyboard thats good for 250 bucks. Maybe 350-400 will get you a full 88-key keyboard that responds to touch. Thats what you need to look out for. Its well worth the investment.[/quote:6794b]

he sed £250 = $400 or so............

if you can play any instrument, that's fucking awesome.

I played the trumpet for a long time, but quit, like 5 years. I quit though, my friend wants me to play some ska in his band though.. haha.

Guitar, violen, piano, trumpet.. IT'S ALL GOOD! rock:

yea. i like drums.
btw: i'm not a fag for liking playing violen. are you also saying that fluffy bunny is gay cause he wants to play piano? huh?

Hm. piano shows class. And women like class. I personally have wanted to learn Violin. Get myself a nice electric violin and play blue grass, classic rock, etc. Bad ass. nothing like hearing Sweet home alama on a violin.

I thought about playing the violin aswell, it is a mans instrument! Chix dig it if you can play their fiddle...

After some thought I realised that the violin prolly sounds like sh&t without any background stuff like the piano etc. But the piano dosen't need any other instruments to make it sound good. rock:

Is it hard to learn how to play the violin? I was thinking about taking a few lessons.

I took piano lessons for about four years and I kind of dis-liked it because when I was young I wasn't the type to practice piano an hour a night. But now that I've grown up I kind of regret it oOo: I'd say it's worth it.

always regreted that i didn't learn how to play an instrument well... i say go for it, you can always sell it if you dont like it....

Computer/car stuff would give instant gratification, the piano would obviously
require the investment of much time as well as cash...if you took up guitar and left if, well...
only you know how much you want it. I'd say get a 2nd hand keyboard & a little amp and
have some jam sessions with friends to make it fun, sell em off if you don't keep it up
like bukdez said.

i play the jackoffamaphone and the didgeridoo! rock:

[quote=GenBlackJackal]Did i say piano players were gay? No, dipshit. But you are. Women play Violins, not men.

oh shit. oOo:

I had piano lessons for a while, about a year. I was pretty decent at it, but not at an age where I really appreciated it. I'd rather do it on my own terms. Having already taken lessons, I'd buy a few books and just do it myself. I had a friend that was really, really good at it and it just impressed the hell out of me whenever I heard him play.

i always liked the piano ... if i had the cash i would try to grab a "real" piano and not a keyboard.

Try downloading a "Warez" version of one

[quote=Fireal]if you actually payed attention to the world outside your cardboard box of your mind, you could see that men do play violen aswell as women. looks as if YOUR the dipshit.

PLay trumpet, the best of both worlds, can do lots of classical and so much jazz

skinflute rock:

Does your playing ability extend to the Pork Piccolo or the Beef Bugle. rock:

aahahhahaha. maybe i will.

You should, it would be fun for you. I took the piano, did not learn much, but after taking guitar I would like to play it now.

I heard that there is this guy who can play the piano with his penis. I bet he gets all the ladies.
