I tend to watch the daily show , the colbert report, family guy and south park and I tend to do my piano work out in the morning. Find it is a good way to do mundane work while being entertained.
Was thinking you could do alot of things relating to dance while watching shows that don't have music. Things like synthesis, organizing your track ….
Find it works well if the TV doesn't really have music and it isn't that hard to follow. I find comedy and standup the best choice. I don't think I have watched TV in years without actually doing something while it is playing. Except for Family guy and south park. Those are my two shows I will give my full attention. |

| 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 but who cares, nothing gets measured anymore anyway, i love socialism. when im at work though, i cant do 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. |

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. |
