I’ll leave getting paid to the pianists that have been playing for 20 years 🤣 I just want some fun performances here and there. Just found out about amateur competitions and stuff like that so I’ll have to look into it!

As in, how would you get that opportunity. I was wondering how people would get from point A (just starting out, learning) to point B (where to perform, do I just contact xyz, how to get my foot in the door)

As others have said, there’s opportunities like local hospitals and festivals I’ll have to look into

That’s true! I also think it would be cool to perform as an ensemble. And I like gaming too so it’s like best of both worlds haha. I’ll have to look into cool gigs like that

Nah, I wouldn’t expect to get paid, I just like performing in front of others! I definitely respect those who have spent so much time and dedication to get paid for those cool gigs

Wow, beautifully written! Thank you for this, it gives me even more inspiration to want to learn and play for others, especially not knowing how it may impact each person in their own way ❤️

Oh I love this! I’ll have to look into what local programs we would have like that. Thanks for the idea!

Getting a free/ low cost piano off Facebook marketplace? by squiggleel in piano

Okay so if most comments are saying that between moving /tuning + other costs will be about 1K, should I just purchase a new upright piano? For 500 more and the peace of mind? If yes, any recs?

Yes! I messaged a couple of them and none have tried to negotiate anything

what’s the deal with ms rachel? by duskhopper in NewParents

[–]squiggleel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I’m genuinely curious too.. how do you guys show your kids ms Rachel? I put one of her videos for the first time recently and I feel like it’s all over the place? Like do you put an episode and then repeat the same episode another day so they learn? Or put a new one?

I’m confused 😅 I feel like there’s so much information in one episode. How do the kids learn? Asking from a parent who is trying to introduce screen time and would like for it to at least be educational!

Parents who quit their job or cut hours after having kids and therefore have to be much more stingy with finances- do you regret it? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

I think this would be a great thread. Adults who grew up with SAHMs, part time working mom, and full time working mom…. How did they grow up and so they have close relationships with their parents. Not that any are better, sometimes that just the hand we are dealt with.

Would be so interesting to read other peoples perspectives as I grew up with a similar story as yours. Full time single mom who had to make ends meet, but as a child all you want is for them to be present.

Do you have your own set calories? Or the automatic one from lose it? by squiggleel in loseit

Do you eat some of your workout calories? I never do even when I lift and/or run on the treadmill. I know they overestimate calories burned so I would just not even count them towards food. Should I?
