You don't need a teacher to learn piano. You don't need to start at the beginning either. You can learn the hardest piece you can imagine in just 8 years by playing just one measure at a time.

I am 25 yrs old living in my parents basement. Always wanted to learn piano so I bought a DP and a book and was wondering if I really NEED lessons to become a concert pianist. Also does anyone know if bong water messes up the electronics of a DP?

Horowitzian, I meant a much more recent thread, like "clunkers" or something. But that thread you gave me was also mentioned in the thread I'm talking about.

It's been at least a year....but for your viewing pleasure: Garbage from the Great Masters! Do note that the thread is locked. After reading through some of that I think there should be a thread titled "Who are you idiots and what garbage have YOU composed lately?" It's probably a good thing I wasn't around for that, or I'd have gotten myself a permanent ban, I'm sure.

We all start somewhere, don't we? I mess around with Finale but since I've never had any formal training in composition, it doesn't really sound that good and I honestly don't have the patience to stick with a composition for longer than like 40 or 50 measures.

We all start somewhere, don't we? Huh? My comment was directed at those calling some of the greatest compositions in the history of music garbage. The fact that a person may not LIKE a certain work does not qualify said work for file 13.

OH I'm sorry stores. Yeah, you're right.
"Schumann concerto is garbage dog!" On Piano Street's forum, SO many people are hating on Schumann and especially his concerto. It's sad, haha.
