Teach Yourself Piano

Piano practice can be fun too!.. Most people dont really want to learn to play the piano or practice the piano, they just want to play piano. Play sounds like fun, practice sounds like a chore. We get this image from childhood - some kid stuck indoors practicing scales while all the other kids are outside the window playing. So, first thing we need to do is to see our piano practice in a new light. See it as a way of accelerating the learning process so that SOON youll be able to play piano and play it well. If you dont practice and you just play old familiar tunes you move rather slowly. Yes, youll get better at playing those old familiar tunes but technically you wont be pushing yourself to greater heights. Proper, structured piano practice helps you stride forwards. I say proper because a lot of people have an idea that practice IS just playing songs over and over. Practice needs to involve unchartered territory. The golden rule is - practice what you CANT play, not what you CAN play. READ MORE

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson, June 1, 1926 â€" August 5, 1962) was an American actress and model. Famous for playing "dumb blonde" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s, emblematic of the eras attitudes towards sexuality. Although she was a top-billed actress for only a decade, her films grossed $200 million by the time of her unexpected death in 1962.[1] She continues to be considered a major popular culture icon.[2] Born and raised in Los Angeles, Monroe spent most of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage and married for the first time at the age of sixteen. While working in a factory as part of the war effort in 1944, she met a photographer and began a successful pin-up modeling career. The work led to short-lived film contracts with Twentieth Century-Fox (1946â€"47) and Columbia Pictures (1948). After a series of minor film roles, she signed a new contract with Fox in 1951. Over the next two years, she became a popular actress with roles in several comedies, including As Young as You Feel and Monkey Business, and in the dramas Clash by Night and Dont Bother to Knock. Monroe faced a scandal when it was revealed that she had posed for nude photos before becoming a star, but rather than damaging her career, the story increased interest in her films.
