Piano Inspiration!

Today I thought I'd do a post about what inspires me to learn to play the piano. I love piano music, I just think it sounds so beautiful, so I thought I'd share a few of my favourites with you. They're mostly music from TV programmes and anime, but I like them!
First, this is the song that I'm learning at the minute, and I think it's the saddest music I've ever heard. It's from the anime Naruto:
This next one is from Fullmetal Alchemist:
Here's one from Final Fantasy X:
And here's a last one from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
There you go, these pieces of music are my inspiration for wanting to learn the piano. Hopefully one day I'll be able to play them all myself!

    It always blows my mind that there are people out there that can play instruments with no music to guide them! I adore piano music too but the violin is where my heart lies :)

      I know, I'm so jealous of them! I tried learning the violin in primary school, it did not go well! It's a good instrument though :)

    That Naruto piece is incredible and I've never even watched the anime before! I feel inspired to play guitar again after seeing this post, music really does make the world go round, good luck with learning piano too.

      Thanks! Whenever I get fed up of learning I play these songs and it makes me want to carry on. I agree, music definitely makes the world go round, it's very important to me :)

    It is a long time since I have played a keyboard; mine sort of vanished in a cloud of smoke one day, and these days my brain is well scrambled.

    Enjoy your music and learning to play piano, I always just enjoyed making a lot of noise, I still do but with guitars and African drums.

    Good luck, I haven't touched a piano in ages so you'll do better than me for sure!

    I'd love to learn how to play the piano, but I already put guitar lessons on the back-burner because I have no time.
    :-(

    Good luck!

      Yeah, I'm struggling to find the time, but I'm determined to do it! :)

WEP August - Change of Heart

Image
So I actually wrote this piece for April's WEP, but I was ill so didn't get to post it in the end. I'm quite glad, as it suits this month's theme so much more. Change of Heart ‘Are you ready for this?’ Paul asked. Brian nodded, trying to steady his shaking hands. ‘You’re the only one who can defeat him,’ Molly said. ‘We believe in you.’ She stepped back to join Paul. Brian balled his fists as he looked at the huge stone doors before him. He took a deep breath and pushed them open. Before the doors closed, Brian glimpsed Paul and Molly turn and begin to walk away. It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness inside. With a whispered word he created light in the palm of his hand, raising it so it would light up the room. It was empty apart from another doorway, much smaller than the first, hidden away in the corner. Brian marched through it and found himself in a large chamber, lit by many flickering candles mounted along the walls. Someone stoo...

The Insecure Writer's Support Group was created by Alex J. Cavanaugh as a place where writers can talk about their insecurities once a month, and receive encouragement and support from other writers. It's such an amazing group, it even has its own website now, which you can visit here . This week I'm a co-host! Be sure to go to Alex's page and visit the other people who are co-hosting.  I had such great plans for my writing this month, but not one of them came through. There were three short stories I wanted to get written, and I also wanted to get back to my NaNo edits, but none of that happened. I still have a little time for one of the short stories, though; it's for Kyra Lennon's cat anthology , and it's due Friday! Not much time to do it, but I made a commitment and I will follow through with it!  Even though I haven't got much writing done in the last month (or the couple before that!) I'm not going to let it get me down. I...

A is for Arachne and Arlee!

Before I get to my Greek Mythology part of this post, at the request of Alex J. Cavanaugh  (great idea by the way, Alex!), I'd first like to thank Arlee Bird for coming up with the challenge in the first place. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be taking part in this amazing experience every year. Thanks, Arlee! This is one of my favourite tales from Greek mythology, so naturally I chose it for my first letter. Arachne was the daughter of a shepherd, and was famous for the beautiful tapestries she weaved. Nymphs would travel from all over to see her work, and to watch her weave. One day, a nymph asked her if her talent was a gift from the goddess Athena. Arachne protested, saying her skill was all her own, and that her weaving was better than Athena's. Athena heard of this, and challenged the girl to a weaving contest. Both sat at their looms and began to weave, nymphs gathering round to watch. Athena weaved a tapestry based on the glories of the gods, showing the...
