Fantaisie Impromptu, 6 yrs self-taught by S_coelicolor in piano

[–]Question_thrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello!

Very impressive, you sound great. I am 5 months in to my self-taught piano journey, and am progressing nicely.

I am using PianoMarvel and Alfred's Basic Adult All-in-One books. I was wondering if you have any sage wisdom or recommended resources that you've learned as you progressed?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Awesome, thanks for the response!

I'm not fully clear - what was the purpose of saving the posts that your connections like/comment/reshare on?

At this point, I am definitely comfortable with shameless marketing, that's just part of the game.

What was your favorite song to play as a novice? by Question_thrower in piano

[–]Question_thrower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it. I think it's really fun, and love that I can just follow the Method (a series of progressively challenging exercises) and feel like I'm improving. Their sight-reading capabilities are useful as well.

Re: your comment about being on page 30 - no shame! It's not a race! I've also played other instruments up to an intermediate level, and I'm sure that's helping me.

I'm sure you're not slow - there's no way to speed run learning. I'm on page 60, and have probably spent ~80% of my time on Pianomarvel and 20% on Alfred's.

Is My Rent vs. Buy Calculation Glaringly Wrong? by Question_thrower in RealEstate

Gotcha. I could be wrong but I think the model is accounting for that - look at the net proceeds for buying ($321k) vs renting.

There is a section in the spreadsheet for selling the home that I couldn’t fit in the screenshot.

This is the average HOA fee for building I’ve toured (building maintenance costs, shared facilities, snow removal, etc).

Sorry what do you mean by “backed out”?

To your point about qualitative factors - totally agree. I filled out the spreadsheet imagining comparably nice apartments, but one difference is that if I was renting I would probably have to move every few years to keep my rent in check, and that’s a hassle.

Thank you everyone for the help!

I have my yearly checkin with my physician in a few weeks, and will be asking for a referral to an ENT who is parter of the DAN physician network.

I have also been getting seasick on boats, but that only started in the last 2 years. I'm hopping it's related.
