General Talk

My good sir, I can speak in a highly distinguished Snape-British accent characterized with tonal fluctuation unprecedented to most ordinary learners, obnoxious emphases on integral words, stressful breaks between clauses and a lackadaisical intonation guaranteed to aggravate the hell out of you, in this current life of yours and the next.

 

Yes!!! I love Yanni's music as well. Try Marching Season

 

Yeah.... because classical and techno songs are difficult to search online because they have no lyrics, that's why we're often quite happy when we run into a song we know. I only know some famous songs like canon or can can.... I particularly love the Canon song....

 

If you like Yanni, you should have known about Reflection of Passion!
It's a fantastic song!

 

Yup yup. And Nostalgia, Nightingale...

Oh I see. So you're into Baroque-esque music with lyrical melody. Try this

Most "classical" songs I know were from the ringtones of my mother's old cellphones.... Sometimes from some movies like Wall-E or Get smart....

 

Talking about classical songs, maybe this beautiful melody will bring you guys back some memories

Hmm ... In no way are pieces of Nobue and Yanni called classical. They're just instrumental, somewhat New Age

 

@Dark Dragon: I really love the song "You are not alone". In the game, it's when we fight some mini-bosses.
@Zell: How do you define a classical song? Give me some....

 

Lol im sure you know quite a lot of classical songs

Ah vous dirai je maman - Mozart
Rondon alla turca - Mozart
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
Symphony 9 (Ode Joy)-Beethoven
Air on a G string - Bach

 

I know these 3.
Btw, anyone plays a musical instrument besides Isara? I know he plays guitar... I tried harmonica for some time but it didn't work... These kinds of things, they require a lifelong commitment and patience, which is not exactly in my possession....

 

Well, these days, most amateurs difine classical songs as songs-without-lyric.

Btw, whatever it is, orchestra, New Age or true classical, it's still good!

 

Lol the theme of ah vous dirai je maman is known as twinkle twinkle little star. And rondo alla turca is called "Hành khúc thổ nhĩ kỳ" in Vnese i think.

I play piano, a lil bit of guitar and harmonica.

 

i wanted to learn piano, still do now, but don't have the finance
wonder if one can still learn it in their late 20s

 

Theoretically you can. Well it depends on how committed you are. It usually takes 6 months for a level. So generally you will be able to play pretty well after 4 years (of course i'm not talking about being a world-class player or something like that) :)

 

Still, it's a bit troublesome to find a piano to play when you want, since its not as cheap as (moderate) guitars and harmonicas, no?

 

In the mean time, use virtual piano instead.

 

Well you can practice on digital piano or midi controllers which cost less than 10m VND?!

 

You can, but doing so will greatly impede your ability to play a real acoustic piano later, since there are major differences between the two.
I for my self also play the ukulele and the harmonica, the latter a little. To be precise I have a particular penchant for stringed instruments, and commandeering my ten fingers to spring out a piece written for the piano with coherence is a task too complicated for my brain to accomplish.

 

At some musical stores, they have for-rent Piano to practise everyday.

I've learning how to play Piano for about 5 years, and after a period of about 3 years leaving the Piano, the only song that I can play well is Dango Daikazoku. 95% like this tube:
