I only read music when it's necessary, but I really wish I could read better.

I can only read bass clef, don't even want to try reading bass on treble.

Sorta makes me wish I played piano.

Killing two birds with one stone.

At first I was like that,then I got forced a bit,then that helped me alot now im quite confident with it,and helped my sight reading alot. Sometimes ill just pickup random scores I have from trumpet,or any other random scores and transpose,or just play it if it was in bass clef.

definitely agree thonk. wish my parents were the kind that forced me to play it starting at like the age of 3

I just started takeing piano again a few weeks ago,its already helping with my ear.

I've always wished I played piano, but i never have gotten around to trying.

Do it if you want to,It helps so much,sometimes learning other instruments helps you get better at your principal instrument.

I think if my keyboard was of decent quality i'd actually have motivation to learn. *shrug*

My hand independence is pretty bad though.

I'm thinking instead of buying a new bass, buying a keyboard some piano books, and learning over the summer.

You might as well say...Well, i wanna use this hand strengthener, but my hands are weak

Grrrr I love The mars Volta

Really, I've seen them live when they opened for the Chili Peppers, they weren't very good IMO...but that was live.

TMV are pretty sweet I'll agree.

No, Ottawa in September, the day after. I get free tickets to all concerts at the Scotaibank Place, but I wish I went in Montreal with my friends.

[QUOTE=SlincoJ;14356160]Well that doesn't change the fact that being used to reading treble clef makes me slip up when reading in the bass clef.[/QUOTE]

doesnt make me slip up, just keep at it, once you learn both clefs piano will be a breeze

I might just get a MIDI controller..

Better sound/more options for the price.
