thers a lot of ppl from australia on the 8notes forums. yeah i kinda dont like when ppl make stuff up, but i also could care less, if they wanna let them , no1s gonna bekleive them when they really did accomplish sumthin good.

i wud like to know is it too late to learn a new instrument when your 13? i wanna learn the acoustic guitar in addition to piano. is it too late to start?

should i just continue to play piano?

no, its never too late to learn another instrument, matter of a fact u should learn a new instrument, its always good to learn a new instrument.U could be 85 yrs old, but as long as you can move ur fingers(and blow) then Y shouldnt u learn. I dont kno what any1 else thinks, but knowing how to plasy a lot of instruments is always good.

also my freind just started learnin the guitar six months ago along with the piano and clarinet and shes doin great, if she could learn a new instrument at 12 then so could u.

oh yea i just wanna add that im not 13, im 12. im gonna learn the guitar next year, not that ive read your advice.

what????? that didnt make sense w/e
good play the guitar

haha yea, my post didn`t make sense. i mean "now" not "not". srry for confusing you.

how much does it cost for a good acoustic guitar and is guitar harder or easier than piano to learn? looks difficult all the tuning stuff at the square thingy at the end.

I`m learning to play the guitar (since august) and the clarenet (well soon anyway)!

ya i started when i was 9 and have taken professional lessons ha beat that! j/k

I`m 12, been taking piano lessons for 7 years now. Taking ABRSM exams, anyone else here takes it?

13 i year grade 6

Oy, Eric... Grade are just as important as the EXACT number of hairs you have on your head...
I`ve finished music school, yet I cannot say that I am good. I was the only one out of my group (around 5-6 people) to get an A for playing (overall I got 6 As and 1 B... We have to take many exams here), but I`m still convinced that I was lucky as hell.
However, now that I have no teacher/school to control my piano actions, I play whatever I want, and at the moment I`m trying to overcome Rachmaninov`s "Prelude in C sharp minor". Good stuff.
So f*ck grades, it`s how you feel that affects your skill.

wow olga, ur right, but u said that with so much uuumm feeling i guess hey ever wonedr Y f*ck is concidered and "illegal" word, but hell isnt?

Olga ive been taking the Trinity Grades and ive been getting As and when i took the Ameb one i got B+. Im back to Trinity ones cuz my Teacher didn`t like the examiners process. Im pretty good at the songs, Musicianship and Sight Reading but the Oral section is too difficult sometimes, especially the Melodies you have to clap or sing, cuz they can be sh*t long.

What grades and tests are ppl doing?
