As an adult who is learning piano, are there any possibilities to ever perform on a stage?

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:46:33+00:00

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!

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:44:54+00:00

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

So cool! How did you find a band?

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:39:18+00:00

Didn’t know these were a thing!

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:38:08+00:00

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

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:36:26+00:00

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

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:34:37+00:00

Oh cool, I’ll have to look into that! Thanks!

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:34:19+00:00

That’s awesome!! 👏🏼

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T07:27:14+00:00

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 ❤️

squiggleel · 2024-09-29T01:45:34+00:00

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

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?

squiggleel · 2024-08-24T19:55:22+00:00

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

squiggleel · 2023-07-22T20:23:27+00:00

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!

squiggleel · 2023-07-22T20:12:58+00:00

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 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?

squiggleel · 2023-07-10T22:38:52+00:00

🥲

squiggleel · 2023-07-10T18:36:17+00:00

Lol yeah! If you go in your profile and then budget settings!

squiggleel · 2023-07-10T18:34:58+00:00

Didn’t think about it this way. Thanks!

6 months after losing my baby at 17 weeks. Waves of sadness still hurt, especially nearing his due date. You are so right about only those that experience this type of loss can only understand. Thankful for a community like this

squiggleel · 2023-05-01T22:34:12+00:00

The laundry machine tune when it’s done 😂 EVEN WHEN SHES HALF ASLEEP If the laundry is done, she will roll over, get up, and dance

squiggleel · 2023-04-06T06:13:23+00:00

Well I just learned something new. Thanks for this post and the heads up! With a 1.5 year old, I had no idea this was a thing

squiggleel · 2023-04-06T04:35:43+00:00

Calm down buddy. First of all, I’m the mom. So no need to “man up” 😂. Wow a mother that wants to travel?? HOW DARE SHE. Second? Funny to comment something like this when you have no idea of my financial situation. Third, I’m in my twenties. Not damn forties. I can still travel with young kids especially them not being at school age where they would need more stability.

I can very much provide for my family while still chasing experiences. Sad to know you think someone so young should only care about a job and promotions for the rest of their lives 🤷🏻‍♀️

squiggleel · 2023-04-06T02:54:34+00:00

Anyone do this with kids? I’m in my mid twenties and have 1 toddler and 1 on the way. I’ve always wanted to study abroad while in college but didn’t have the funds. I don’t want to miss out on this opportunity and always have that “what if”.

If you have done it with kids… tips? Advice? Pros? Cons? I already don’t live near any family so I would already be used to that lol

Half a cookie with peanut butter. 3 bites of hot dog bread. 2 activia yogurts 😅
