i listen to music, watch tv, posting on TA, chatting on msn, talking in the phone, make dinner, clean the house and study at the same time. next year im trading studying for music-production (as my master is finished). really effective but i dont remember any of it afterwards. oh and the quality is shit but who cares, nothing gets measured anymore anyway, i love socialism. when im at work though, i cant do shit else but program PLC, full concentration is needed. i agree though that family guy deserves more attention. finally a good thread btw, this place has been terrible lately.

I used to do 4 hours of finger exercises for piano and I needed some entertainment as it was just too boring. I suppose when you are learning a technique, you should be paying attention, but that muscle memory part. I often feel it is better to just let your subconscious take it in.

sometimes i do a trill with two fingers on peoples head and they don't particularly enjoy it.

btw i recently started listening to classical music again while studying, works like a charm and keeps me focused, could you recommend me some mad? listening to a classic radio on iTunes, have no idea what i really listen to.

do you prefer classical or romantic ?

there is also alot of other types but those are the two main periods.

I like to improvise on the piano to movies I watch.
Enjoyable, especially with movies that feature a well-composed soundtrack.

i like the happy, major ones. maybe you could make a spotify playlist and share. infact it doesnt have to be from those periods at all, but i have no idea whether or not anyone compose new music like this today? i have a few best of cds with bach and vivaldi and all that but its rather cheese. i do not like huge delta volume (crescendos?), but the simpler ones. something that sounds like money and class you know? pianosessions are welcome too. oh and it doesnt have to be true orchestra, synthesized stuff works too, like movie/game-soundtracks etc.

check out Haydn
