Learn how to play piano, you can learn how to play the piano, all you need is the desire to learn piano. Learn how to play the piano. There are many and varied reasons to play the piano. It is a beautiful instrument with a beautiful look and a beautiful sound. It can be a soloist instrument or a group instrument. It sharpens the mind and body. The gift of music is therapeutic. There are many careers that require piano skills. The list goes on and on. One quality that the piano and not many other instruments share is that you can play more than one note at a time. It is polyphonic. Thus, unlike instruments like the flute or violin, one can play pieces with complex and rich harmonies when playing alone. That makes the piano a dynamic solo instrument. At the same time, the piano sounds beautiful accompanying other instruments. So, whether you are introverted or extroverted, the piano will suit your style. Unlike wind instruments like the flute or tuba, the piano leaves the voice free to sing along. Unlike the violin, any notes that sound out of tune cannot be blamed on the performer. As long as you engage a piano tuner at least once a year, each note will always sound in tune, regardless of your skill level. Playing the piano also develops a high level of manual dexterity. While it may seem very simple to just push the keys, learning to perform complex pieces with precision and emotion needs a little time and a very human touch. That is one reason why professional pianists have not been replaced by computers. It is more complicated than patting your head while rubbing your tummy! But it is ever so much more rewarding too! The piano is also a staple of family sing-along - whether you are singing Christmas carols or playing some favorite movie tunes. The very design of the piano lends itself to groups of people gathered around, singing along. This is one of the most social of activities. This is where some of our warmest and most treasured memories are made. Recently, research has shown that children who learn the piano do far better scholastically than their fellow students. Not only are their artistic and musical skills above the norm, but also their language and mathematics skills are also improved. While this benefit is sometimes difficult to measure, piano students also receive a very tangible benefit. Many schools are recognizing the achievements that children make in piano and reward them with high school credits when they pass certain grade levels. If you are applying towards a degree in music or you want to learn to master an instrument at a university it is necessary to take a year or more of piano. Piano is a really good music classroom teaching tool and is the key and basis to learning music theory. With a bass or a guitar, you might make beautiful chords, but there are cases in which many people have no idea what these chords theoretically are or what is it that they are playing. Instead, piano aids in music by providing a structure that makes sound, but to make such sound beautiful you must know what you are doing. This is not to say that guitarists or other players never know what they do! Rather, piano aids in the composition and greater experimentation with music. Since the piano differs from the guitar or wind instruments in which the person usually memorizes digital and finger patterns, the piano uses both hemispheres of the brain, requiring your ten fingers to be controlled independently! This might sound hard but with practice and time you'll be able to even do more than one thing simultaneously. A piano player who decides to play drums, if skilled enough can pick them up more easily than someone who hasn't had the experience to play such instrument. Moreover, There are many jobs and careers for pianists. One can be the piano player in a lounge, on a cruise ship, in a church (mass, weddings, funerals), or in a band. One can be an instructor with a college or university or teach out of a home studio. One can accompanying vocalists, choirs, violinists, and others as they perform for competition or for an audience. One can compose movie scores or commercial jingles or orchestral pieces. The possibilities are endless. The ability to play the piano and to express one self is very healthy and therapeutic. Stresses can melt away. The piano is always there, ready for you to pour out your soul. It is a most patient and agreeable companion. If you're upset, go ahead and thunder away on the keyboard, and when you're done and feeling better, go ahead and pick up a more languid or cheerful piece.

http://www.infowars.com/food-the-ulti... Alex Jones addresses one of the darkest modes of power the globalists have used to control the population-- food. The adulteration of the planet staple crops, genetically-altered species and intentionally-altered water, food and air all amount to a Eugenics operation to weaken the masses and achieve full spectrum domination. People the world over, but especially in the United States are under chemical attack. Deadly and dangerous toxins ranging from Aspartame to Fluoride, GMO, Mercury-tainting, pesticides, cross-species chimeras, plastic compounds in chicken, high fructose corn syrup, cloned meat, rBGH and new aggressive GM species of salmon have all entered into our diets and environments-- whether we want it or not. Many of these substances knowingly cause or are linked with sterility, low birth weight, miscarriages, smaller or deformed offspring, as well as organ failure, cancer, brain tumors and Death itself, what you DON'T know about on your grocery shelves can hurt you. Further, Alex demonstrates that a pattern of buried studies, fraudulent statistics and a will to reduce global population all point to the deliberate criminal poisoning of the food and water supply. Suffer no fools and warn those you love about the need to stop their food from being used as a depopulation-weapon against us all. Please share this important video with everyone, so the truth about these substances can be known.

SUBSCRIBE TO MY COOKING CHANNEL, NEW VIDEOS EVERY MONDAY AND FRIDAY: http://www.youtube.com/user/CookingwithKarma FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cooking-with-Karma/259356740745232 FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: http://twitter.com/#!/KarmasCooking Ingredients: 3/4 block of copha (1 block is 250g) This is also known as vegetable shortening * Cocoa butter is much better than copha but it can be hard to find and a little expensive .. but well worth it!! You can also just use coconut oil. 1 cup of icing sugar 3/4 cup of cocoa powder 1/3 cup of powdered milk 1 capful of vanilla extract Optional: 1 capful of coffee essence 1 tablespoon of coconut oil Using your favourite liqueur would also be great!! I used white chocolate, cashews and icing in a tube to decorate these. You can have them plain or decorate any way you like! ;) Tips: * If you find the chocolate a little "grainy" once it sets, melt it again and reset! * Don't worry if it appears to "runny" when you first make it it will set! The large tray I got from Spotlight and the smaller plastic sheets I got from Dollars and Sense! :)
