Hey folks:

Yesterday, I discovered a way of playing violin and piano at the same time!!
I played the violin using my arms (both) and play the piano with me feet ( I invented a wooden block and stuck it on my toe in order to strengthen them and to be fitted on the keys ) it worked!! It worked!!

Why on earth would you want to do that?!

Be very careful "strengthening" your toes in that way, you could do serious damage to the tendons.

Ermm
Im like totally lost dude...

WOW! That is absolutely amazing...new discovery wooo

Now if only you could play Sax, clarinet AND piano together we could maybe keep Nat really happy

Jane

Ah yes jane!

So then pianist 1210...you're so wonderfully talented. tell me a way of playing sax, clarinet and piano oh and flute all at once

whilst singing!

(whats the point of this topic?)

its purpose is for pianist 1210 to show off

AGAIN

I guess the first line of pianist_1210's signature sums up this topic :|

Shouldn't it read

I am strange

Believe it or not, I would want to hear what they both sound like together. Strange idea, pianist_1210, but I like it!

Maybe it's just an honest attempt to solve those grade 7 violin accompaniment problems, can you play those notes detached with your toes ? I think your next challenge is to play the piano with your hands and the violin with your feet....

Chromatic minor thirds, starting on Eb, 4 octaves, staccato, go!

*sniggers!*

but if he was so great he could at least spell AND correctly

ouch i am getting picky!

I really dont get it...
why do you keep showing off...?



That's very interesting!!!

Well I can play a whole orchestra full of instruments at the same time.......that is as long as the piece is John Cage's 4'33"

I can play that on anything and everything at once

Jane

amazing jane! you have such a talent , i really admire you! that is some achievement!

Our string quartet played it last night while having tea and biscuits at the same time.

Have you ever played it

Jane

I've played it a few times, but I wouldn't say I have polished it up enough yet!

Yeah its all that counting....our quartet did have problems all finishing together after the first movement

Jane

Glad you find that bit difficult as well. The stamina needed to play all that music is very high. It kills me!

My teacher reckons he can play it while he's asleep, now that's real talent

Jane

Wow! Give me his number!

Erm... Wonder where pianist 1210 is?

I take it he doesn't snore then

Yes, I'm here
Kind of busy with my violin because my violin exam's coming up in one week's time...not showing of for playing two instruments!! ( hehe..because I can only play one note on the piano at once and I can only use my left feet )

Yes Natalie, I think you can play clarinet and piano together....trying using your bottom to press the keys!! (Lol, kidding, kidding.... )

Good Luck with your violin exam, i play the violin too!!! I'm sure you'll do great, just believe in yourself

I was going to ask what span your feet have but I think I'll keep quiet.

Yes, I agree!

Surely puts a new slant on playing the bottom notes! ! !

My left foot can span a fourth!

I can only get a 4th as well.

Perhaps pianist 1210's next feat (?feet?) could be to take an exam on 2 or more instruments simultaneously. Wouldn't we all be impressed.

Perhaps the examiner would allow him to saw the legs off the piano to make grade 8 a little easier. I heard you have to play scales in thirds with your big toes. It calls for a feeture film.

Another cheesy film toe top the socks office.

Cool!! Mine can span a aug. 4th. Let's join my " my feet can span a fourth" club,you're very welcomed!!

But wouldn't playing with your feet just gross out the other pianists/examiner??you'll need a pedicure before you enter...

I wouldn't mind knowing how to play the piano and the violin at the same time-the problem with learning multiple instruments is that you can usually play only one at a time...

well,unless you play the piano/whatever instrument and kick the drums

Playing piano and violin together in this way (feet on the keyboard, violin in the arms) is something I have been thinking about long ago, so it's not really a new invention. But honestly speaking, I never succeeded to do it in a decent way.
But I do play the piano in a special way: I'm playing jazz-standards with my right hand doing the melodic part, my left hand doing the voicings and... my left big toe doing the walking bass ! Of course the only reason I'm doing this is to show off, because I'm not good enough as a normal pianist, but my friends think it's funny.

god help any pianist who gets that!

i do that with my flute!

That's not so bad....
