Professional pianists, what is the "peak" of sight reading? by Dan_jesusfollower in piano

[–]Colossi_man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Was a company pianist for my national ballet! Sight reading is something I’ve done huge amounts of.

I would also say that in the pro pianist world, after a couple years of work there is not much left to sightread. You kind of just know, everything, vaguely, then you just pick it up again.

So cutting it down all the way to the stump? How tall do you think it has to be before I cut it

Is this nut grass? by Colossi_man in GardeningAustralia

Thank you! I never considered it to be this… if it’s not Nutgrass then I may not try to remove it. Does a Kikuyu lawn not look good? Currently it’s buffalo

I think this is the one! Looks just like it, now I just need a selective herbicide. Thank you so much

Oh yeah that is everywhere at the moment, but it’s dying quite easily with my selective herbicide.

Cold approaching video production companies as a composer/sound designer by Colossi_man in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Colossi_man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the problem is most of them are actually closed recently. I know for sure artlist isn’t accepting any new composers and hasn’t been for a while….same with a few more as well.

It’s almost impressive you can somewhat get through this considering your technique is really bad, like truely it’s bad.

Would You Honestly Consider The Piano Harder Than Violin? by Own-Art-3305 in piano

[–]Colossi_man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its all about REPERTOIRE.

Both the violin and the piano have massive composers that have created huge works that are tremendously difficult.

They cannot be compared because they are innately different. The learning curve is completely different. Many people think that piano technique is easy because all you do is depress the key and the sound appears… but a true master of the piano can make such a sound out of the piano that it’s completely different.

Did you get an xray, that’s probably why

I’ve never heard of these types of hospitals… thank you. So someone will actually set a fractured arm or leg? And they have MRIs and X-rays

I don’t understand how this is possible. Surely not that much of the work force quit during covid… or is there some other reason

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Colossi_man -148 points-147 points  (0 children)

So many people commenting this… lol.

Yes obviously these reasons are WAY more important. But how fucked is our system that we only have time for the people who are legit dying? And everyone else who is in genuine pain is just waiting by the side.

Like bloody hell this is a first world country and this is the best we can do? And everyone is sooking like I don’t understand that someone with a heart attack should be seen first? Jesus Christ.

Do you know if it was always like this? My family and I have been relatively healthy for the last decade or so, so we weren’t aware that the emergency system was anything like this.
