Did you have music lessons when you were a child?

The Horse @TheHorse (220245) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Oct 18

Back around 1900, I believe that many middle class families had pianos in their houses, and that singing around the piano was a fairly common practice. Music lessons for children was a sign of being "educated," and many children...

Stanley W. Shura I started piano lessons around 6. My grandmother insisted as I had been playing by ear on a toy piano since 4. I studied for about 10 years and went to college as a music student - as a vocalist! LOL. The music theory I learned in music school anchored my...

Trump needs to MAN UP & take the criticism like every other U.S. President did!

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 13 Oct 18

Trump's ego is so delicate that he wants to make protesting in front of the White House and other spots in Washington D.C. (our nation's capital) illegal! Throughout our history, Presidents and other elected officials had to...

Stanley W. Shura I relieve stress, for better of worse, by spending time alone. I find the world to be rather overwhelming at times, and "hiding away" and perhaps taking the online world in doses at MY leisure is one way of taking some control.

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 3 Mar 09

Does anyone know what this could be caused from? My hand keeps getting an electric shock like feeling with tingling. Do you think its from carpal tunnel or could it be coming from my cervical spine? I have both problems so I dont...

Stanley W. Shura It could be CTS, or something else. I agree with another response which suggested you go to your doctor or at least do a phone consult - which would very likely result in a visit anyway. I have bi-lateral carpal tunnel, and I know this tingling. Mine isn't...

Do You Need To Read The Music, Or Can You Play By Ear?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28955) • Canada 23 Mar 09

I started this discussion under "piano" but this applies to any instrument. If you play a different instrument, jump in and let me know. Do you play by ear, or do you need to read the music? I can't see well enough to read the...

Stanley W. Shura I'm kind of a weird egg. I have perfect pitch, but I like to have the music in front of me TELLING me exactly what to play. Know what else? My favorite music is jazz! Figure THAT out! LOL!

When BIG means LITTLE!

Norman Darlington @NormanDarlo (1071) • Ireland 13 Oct 18

I am endlessly fascinated by language. From an early age I remember the pleasure of pulling out an old multi-volume dictionary from my parents' bookcase, and opening a volume at random. Under each word, I was intrigued by the...

Stanley W. Shura I, too, am fascinated by language and especially the roots of word parts. I took Latin in high school, and this was my first real taste of the idea of derivation. Semper ubi sub ubi! ;)

p3halliwel2005 @p3halliwel2005 (3156) • Philippines 26 Jun 11

I am just wondering if people in here play online pool. Is it much easier for you online than playing for real. I play much better on online pool. I don't know how to play for real. Do you think it would be much easier for me to...

Stanley W. Shura My skill online FAR surpasses my real life skill, and I'm an okay player when I don't let nerves and second-guessing ruin my game! But that's one of the reasons I find online pool so much fun. Still, I wish I could afford to play real pool more often. I...

Stanley W. Shura I'm reading The Most Human Human, by Brian Christian. It's about the whole AI thing and "what talking with computers teaches us about what it means to be alive". A little dense but a good read so far.
