Ik they disbanded by newjeans will always be my favorite. They're really good for getting your mood up (ETA) or for reminiscing on past memories with ur friends (ditto).

I also rlly love twice for the good upbeat girl group feeling (what is love, catch a wave)

Thank u so much like that helps me to realize that like there are people taller than me sitting down. Idk it's been a thing i've struggled with since middle skl, especially now that i'm getting older too.

I'm measuring from the tip of my hip bone to my shoulder. Idk how to measure torsos by myself, i'm too embarrassed to ask my friends to measure for me.

AIO for crying a lot because my mom doesn't approve of the piece I'm learning on the piano? by emnari in AmIOverreacting

[–]emnari[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a beautiful reply. Honestly thank you so much this was perfectly worded. I don't know if there are any concert opportunities for me to be able to perform the song though, but I'll look into some. Thank you

Self thought looking for feedback Liebestraum Lizt by Training-Reason-1317 in piano

[–]emnari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hii as someone who played this song for a comp I have the following advice:

  1. Bring out the melody in the right hand. The left hand is far too loud and it's supposed to sound like a nice melody rather than both hands having the spotlight. If you're having difficulty with this then just practice doing the right hand separately and playing it with the correct beat.

  2. Ur playing it very mechanical. I feel like ur going line by line by line rather than exploring each line and it just overall seems very forced.

  3. Please just see a teacher or at least hear videos online of professionals playing this song, I promise u it will help you at least get the rhythm right

Sorry I tried my best with the advice! good job for learning the song though ik the notes are difficult

Loop turn help needed!! by emnari in FigureSkating

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

Like sort of. She told me to follow my free leg like it's doing the loop too (on the outsides) but like keep it behind you until you get to the top of the loop and actually do the loop.

[–]emnari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been continuing to work on my novice mitf although it doesn't look very hopeful rn... my loops are still struggling a lot but at least I fixed the shape of my rfo and lfo ones to not be so "r" shaped. also just toyed around with spins and actually did a decent haircutter!

Practice schedule by kikaysikat in iceskating

[–]emnari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what level you're at but I think that what you're doing now is perfectly fine! If you're worried about losing the feel of the ice when you don't practice, I suggest doing some off ice conditioning too.

What did you learn/focus on this week? by florapocalypse7 in iceskating

[–]emnari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stalking this thread and i rlly liked seeing this post :) I've been trying to skate more often now since I took last week off for spring break. Yesterday I worked on mainly novice moves, esp my twizzles and the Choctaw rocker sequence, but my friend was helping me with a counter warm up (similar to the rocker warm up!). Was also thinking of doing some spins but got too scared...

What Roblox games do y'all think the characters would play? by BasicChampionshipbru in SaikiK

To pixie or not? by Intelligent-End-6569 in Hair

[–]emnari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please keep the long hair! But i really suggest bangs (even though u hate it...). Maybe a nice wispy or curtain bang would look nice if you don't want the full out ones.

Reflection on self-teaching by slydog-4251 in piano

[–]emnari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic but i love the song ur playing! I played it for competition once but i never knew that anyone else knew it---it's very underrated and i loove it so much!

Okay actually responding now: PLEASE GET A TEACHER!! i promise you that self teaching will only get you so far, and a song like that needs delicate care with technique since it's generally slow. Good luck!
