Rocket Piano - Save Time & Money

By Lucas Vincent

Do you have what it takes when it comes to learning piano? OK, so it is not like you are going to war or participating in some extreme sport but you still need to have what it takes to learn piano!



The question is a bit dramatic but, as with every pastime or hobby or skill, you need to have certain personal qualities to be able to do it and do it well. However, many people would not credit learning piano with a wide range of personal qualities because it tends to be associated with perseverance and musicality alone. They are most definitely two of the qualities needed but there is a lot more to it than that. If learning piano sounds like fun to you and you want to give it a go then try it because it is a hobby that you will get a lot of pleasure out of. However, if you feel that you might want to give it a try but need a little convincing then check out the personal qualities that you may need below to see whether or not you have what it takes: Musicality - This is obvious. You need musicality to be able to feel the music and work with it. A musical ear will be able to tell easily when a note is off or when something does not work that well whereas someone with little or no musicality will be unable to tell and may just follow the instructions blindly. This also goes for the process of learning the piano. If something does not feel let alone sound right then you need to be able to notice in order to change it. Patience And Perseverance - If you do not get something right first time then try try try again, as the saying goes. This especially applies when learning piano because you have to be able to walk away after a bad practice session and come back refreshed an hour later and try it just once more before calling it a day. You need patience and to be able to ignore frustration as and when it comes up. Hand To Eye Co-ordination - This goes without saying really given the fact that you need to be able to read music whilst you are playing the keys when learning piano. This is a skill that comes over time with the piano but if you have a measure of it before you start then it will stand you in good stead. Common Sense - You need common sense when learning piano because there are just as many technical aspects as there are creative and artistic aspects. For example, you need to have common sense when it comes to how you learn. You need to start at the bottom and learn all the basic skills before you progress. This may sound obvious but you'ld be surprised about how many people ignore it. You must employ common sense and you will find that you really improve quickly. Of course, this also taps into organisational skills as well. Make sure that you have set practice times and do so regularly. Otherwise you are wasting your time and money.

Piano lessons online is designed to assist you quickly and easily start playing astonishing piano.

Determination - You must be determined to succeed. Learning piano will try your patience and will test just h willing you are to dedicate yourself to it. The going will get tough so you have to be able to grit your teeth and kick start your determination if you want to succeed. Without determination, you will give up in a matter of weeks so make sure that it is in place before you start otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of money! - 18758

Playing God: This film is a preposterous tale of drug addicted ex-surgeon Duchovny employed by gangster Hutton to be the personal crisis medical expert for his shot-up and sliced cronies.

The movie is a scorching, seductive thriller from contemporary film noir master Dahl and author Steve Barancik. Cast includes Linda Fiorentino, Peter Berg, J. T. Walsh, Bill Nunn, Bill Pullman, Michael Raysses, and Zach Phifer. (110 minutes, 1994)

The Age of Innocence: Humble although powerful rendition of Edith Wharton's novel in reference to an obstructed romance between an involved lawyer and a divorcee, in 1870s Manhattan.

Shack Out on 101: Lee Marvin is a cook named Slob at a seaside greasy spoon in this cold war classic.The waitress (Terry Moore) seems to be spending most of her time fending off the lecherous advances of almost all her co-stars, but in fact she is trying to stop nuclear sectets from leaving the country.

Jonas Brothers Tickets in Concert, 2009

By Annie Foyte

The latest Jonas Brothers' album is out, and it's already the most talked about album in America! "Lines, Vines and Trying Times" debuted at #1 in the Billboard Top 200 Chart, and now it's time for the Jonas Brothers to bring the music to your hometown.

Nick, Joe and Kevin (and Frank) got their start earlier this decade on the Disney Channel and in their short time together, they've already sold over 8 million albums worldwide. Nick, who plays rhythm guitar and sings, is the youngest, but he's been performing on Broadway since he was 7, and it was his voice that got the Jonas Brothers signed to their first record deal. Nick's also been linked to Miley Cyrus in an on-again, off-again relationship.

Middle brother Joe, who shares lead vocals with Nick, had a high profile romance with Taylor Swift, and finds himself a tabloid fixture--when all he wanted to do was be a comedian. Some guys have all the luck. Kevin, the eldest Jonas, plays lead guitar and sings backup, and was chosen as one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive in 2008.

After originally signing to Columbia Records, the Jonas Brothers learned the music business, and the work it takes to success very quickly. Their debut album was woefully marketed and they made a quick decision to switch labels to secure better promotion. The self titled album then rose to a Top 5 ranking when they appeared on the Disney Channel's Hannah Montana show.

After the Jonas Brothers appeared on the Hannah Montana show, they continued to enjoy explosive success. Their third album, "A Little Bit Longer", reached number one in 2008, further cementing their position as a top musical act. They also starred in their own reality show on the Disney Channel, which documented the tour supporting the album. The show also gave fans an inside look at each of the brothers.

"Camp Rock," a Jonas Brothers-starring TV movie, also debuted with one of the highest ever TV movie viewer totals ever. Even the soundtrack to "Camp Rock" debuted in the top-5 on the Billboard Charts, and just when the summer of 2008 couldn't look any better for the Brothers, they were featured on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, becoming the youngest band ever to have been honored so.

During the spring, the Jonas Brothers toured South American and managed to sneak in a few European tour dates, and then took some time to put together their next smash hit. They released "Lines, Vines and Trying Times" in June and as they took the stage for their 2009 world tour, the album was sitting at number one.

The first tour date kicked off in Dallas at the newly completed Cowboys Stadium in front of 50,000 fans. After the Dallas show, the brother head to Canada before winding back down the east coast of the U.S. They will continue to tour in the United States until fall, where they will jump back across the Atlantic and return to Europe. - 18758
