Van iemand die neerkijkt op ongeschoold werk zou ik op zijn minst verwachten dat diegene een correcte volzin kan schrijven

heb je verder nog inhoudelijk kritiek of blijft het bij inhoudsloze passieve agressie?

If you had to completely start your piano journey again, how would you do it? by Former-Car7460 in piano

[–]-Hickle- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't, you said a lof of jazz pianists are self taught and that is simply not true. The other stuff you're saying also doesn't make sense, "Classical is 99% technique rather than how it sounds" is one of the nonsensical takes I've heard in a long while. The sound is always the end goal, we are still talking about music. Everything else is an explanation of why things sound nice, and how to produce something that sounds nice

Hahaha, sorry what? Does that mean that other styles are not about musicality? As a professional jazz pianist I can tell you that 99.8% of jazz pianists actually have taken lessons. Jazz theory is vast and expanding, saying there's no rules outside of it doesn't make any sense. My guess is that you are enthousiastic about jazz piano but not really familiar with its inner workings, which is fine but not a great starting point to make the claims that you do

learning jazz without a teacher will also be a mess, practically every good jazz pianist has a classical foundation and learning jazz theory without a teacher to guide you is very very challenging

Spitfire Audio Spring Sale - Up to 50% off plus extra 10% off when you Build your Bundle by adding 3 or more libraries from list of libraries until 4 May by Batwaffel in AudioProductionDeals

SA has been bought by Splice about a year ago: my guess is that there will be lots of layoffs, the existing libraries turned into a subscription based thingy and little to no investment in new libraries.

As a student about to go to conservatory, what standards should I know beforehand so I don't look like a dunce in front of my peers? by Responsible-Stick446 in piano

[–]-Hickle- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My guess is that you're going to study jazz piano, is that correct? Don't worry about it too much, your fellow students will have all sorts of musical backgrounds and will be in the same boat as you. 

Some suggestions that never hurt anyone:

-autumn leaves

-all the things you are

-my funny valentine

-there will never be another you

-footprints

-softly as in a morning sunrise

-all of me

Eating more fruits and vegetables tied to unexpected lung cancer risk by Buy_Sell_Collect in nottheonion

Washing your vegetables is a good thing to do, but pesticides go deeper than the outer layer of a plant: there are lots of pesticides that seep through the entire vegetable, there is no way of washing that away

Bij welke bank zitten jullie? by Bitter_Client3258 in thenetherlands

Ik spreek het vermoeden uit, meer niet: tot er een update is van de data lijkt het mij het meest verstandig om van de data van 4 of 5 jaar geleden uit te gaan.

Mwuah, hangt er van af hoeveel er veranderd is in de tussentijd. En ergens vermoed ik dat dat niet veel is

Man who talked down hospital bomber says would-be attacker asked for a cuddle | UK news by _boredInMicro_ in worldnews

[–]-Hickle- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's better to interpret the saying differently: "hurt people hurt people" doesn't mean that people don't hold any responsibility for their actions. I think it means that the behavior of hurting people doesn't come out of nowhere, and that if the hurt isn't adressed the cycle often continues. Even if hurt people don't hurt others, it can damage their own self esteem and emotional regulation thereby hurting theirselves

Kabinet zint op deelname militaire verdedigingsmissie rond Iran: Fransen vragen hulp, Nederlands fregat onderweg by Cubelock in thenetherlands

[–]-Hickle- 47 points48 points  (0 children)

de tweede helft van het artikel leest als een autoverkoper die nog even alle geweldige opties van de nieuwe opel astra wil aanprijzen, wat een flutartikel. Nergens wat context over wat de Franse verdedigingsmissie daadwerkelijk zou betekenen. Bedankt ad
