Is it hard for you to have your left hand fingers on A,E and B?
Theyre like 3 keys apart and i cant stretch them that far so it messes up my play.
That's more like seven keys apart - A to B with an E in the middle is almost an octave (at least it sounds that way based on how you wrote it), so yes, it might be a difficult span if you have smaller hands.
Sometimes the editor of the piece will offer alternate chords or indicate which notes in the chord are the most important, for example, leave of the lower A and just play E and B. Consider what the right hand is doing at the same time - perhaps there's an A in that hand that will complete the chord sound the composer was going for.
If you're really stuck, as your teacher or a band instructor to help you look at the chord to figure out what to play and still get the right sound.
Hello! Do you play "Fur elise"? if you do do you know how it does A E A and it curves you just do A E B instead the last a in fur elise in the A E A is right beside the B.If yo0u need to do it toghter sorry cant help :(
Those are about 7 apart, retard.

Where can i get the inspiration to..?
i have always loved reading and writing.i want to write a song but it seems like theres nothing eles to write about..
Writer's usually get inspired when they least expect it. Sometimes an over heard conversation, a silent moment, a news story, a memory or a moment closer to nature can just touch something off that sets that creative wheel to spinning.
It rarely can be forced.
You will write when you decide what you want to say.
Here are some ideas:
Historical events
Literature
Film
personal experiences
philosophy
Historical figure
something you don't like
situation a friend is going through
feelings (of course)
really just something important to you, even if it's a pet hamster. Or, take a song that you like and do it in your style. Sometimes people feel this is a rip off, but other times it really works. 3 examples:
Death from Above 1979 cover of Bloc Party's "Luno"
The Pixies cover of "In Heaven" from the film Eraserhead
Johnny Cash cover of NIN "hurt"
Good luck!
i break out in song a lot i usually just rhyme what comes to mind and put it in music form like
i'm typing an answer
those are my pants sir
where is my belt
its made of felt
Write about what you feel, or what you see. Writing a song is a personal thing, not attempting to write the "Next Big Hit".
Just start making sentences, and put them to rhyme or something.

I am attempting to write my first script. Any suggestions on where to begin? Software? How to protect my idea?
I have the title and basic theme/plot
In general a story or script is copy written the moment the author writes it. When to prove that that happened can be be done any number of ways. There really isn`t as much theft as new authors are paranoid to think. So don`t worry about it.
As far as software is concerned just use Microsoft word and format like any script. You can find scripts all over the internet and use one as a template in formatting to write you own.
Titles however can not be copy written, so your title can be used by someone else or vice-versa. You idea should be written out first as a synopsis which is sometimes called a treatment. It is this that producers sometimes look at first.

Ladies, exactly what does?
I dunno how girls do it, but why is it when a really hot girl goes to slap a guy, and she does it by giving him a sexy look, placing a hand on a hip and sticking her hip out, then slapping him, he CAN'T avoid that? I've thought i could duck(can't, they're too fast)block it(doesn't work on girls), so then WHAT DOES work on that? And what's the secret to that move so we can't avoid it? PLEASE! I've had a friend who even took karate for a while, but he had this really cute blonde who came up and did it to him, and she slapped him too, he didn't have a chance. HELP!
Try blocking her hand
and kissing it
How sexy is that!
....um i don't know who these girls are but i never go up to guys and just slap them.

A poem entitled
Okay - so i wrote this poem that i have titled "Seventeen Years" and I want to know what you think... it's from a woman's perspective on a 17 year marriage that is being destroyed - partly due to rumors... Her husband has moved out and their son lives with him... This is not about me - please just be honest and tell me what you think about the poem. The names are "___" for privacy reason's because it is based on somebody I know. This is my first poem i have ever written that I actually like :)
Fighting, frustration and crap like that
All started with Mr. ____ and Mr. ____.
But they didnt do it it was you,
Why cant I just get that message through?
It cant be that hard its been seventeen years.
At first it was laughs but now its just tears.
You dont have to deal with as much as me
Its so unfair dont you agree?
I mean we created life together
We were a family; ____, ____ and _______.
Now Im not sure how it should be.
Stay and fight, or let go and be free?
I dont know how much longer I can hold on,
But then again, already it has been pretty long.
Since this all started - our first major fight
I go through it and through it every night.
I still have your ring, and you still have our son
Lets try to end nicely, and get it all done.
I dont know about you, but I think its hard.
Should I trust you again or would that let down my guard?
It all happened so fast its hard to remember
But I fell into pieces, in only November.
People talked and talked... thinking it was true
Talk about me, and of course mention you.
They dont even know you, there are such stupid rumors
Feels like on my heart there are painful love tumors.
You were the one I went to when I was sad
It was time that we shared, and moments that we had.
Cant re-live that time for it will always be the past.
Like all the kisses the first and the last.
This would be easier if we didnt have ____
Seventeen Years and its been - well, seventeen years.
WOW ..
nice ..
but it's sad that it's on a true incident!!
I think it is a very thoughtful peom. I get from the poem that you are sad and you always went to him to talk things out. It will get better in time. Hang in there.
That's really a great poem. aww...it makes me feel sad.
I love it!

Tips for aqward silences.....?
I have a group of friends that I only really know from facebook, I talk to them a lot, but I've only really met up with them like 5 times in person. They invited me to a party today, it always gets aqward, are there any tips for aqward situations? I'm a really funny guy, but I never get to show it around them.
Tell a funny anecdote, or make a self-deprecating joke about how it's impossible to fill awkward silences. Everyone will relate and will probably have some stories of their own.
Ask questions about them. People always like talking about themselves and once they start, watch out, all silence will quickly go out the window. Ask about hobbies, music etc. or whatever you suspect they might be interested in. And make like your listening.

Montreal Cegep HELP!?
ok well I only have to apply for cegep next year only..i already wanna know in advance because this is my most important year of highschool. Well the program i plan to go into is called call (creative arts, literature and languages) and well they have this program at both dawson and marianopolis. well the profile at dawson is called arts & culture and at marianopolis its called arts & letters. I just want to know which place is better for arts. I'm worried mari is filled with preppy and geeky people ( no offense ) but i love the school and im more indie and laidback and well im not crazy about dawson because everyone is or majority of graduates in my level are going to go there and i wanna meet and make more friends. So which school do you think i will feel more comfortable in and which has a better program. people who went to these schools in those programs/profile..give me your input.

Topic for high school paper?
I have just joined my high school news paper and I need help. See I asked to have an opinion page, where I pick a topic and I write what I truly think about it, the editor said he liked the idea of it. We meet on monday and I want to type one up to show him my talent and seal the deal. But I don't know what to write about. It has to be something that catches the students attention but I can wright about it in a serious matter. What do you think I should write about? Please help me.
Turn to your local newspapers for inspiration. But choose something teenagers would be interested in. If you go to a conservative school, avoid very liberal topics. You could start with something like arguing whether your school should have a recycling program and if not, how it can help. If you have one, analyze it, ask people what they think. Other topics could be...
Proposing social groups at school
An article on facebook - good or bad, or both
Writing about something your school needs or is wasting money on
Think about your experience in high school and what matters to you and your friends. Make sure to have someone proof read it for you before submitting it. Also make sure its not too long and dragged out.
You could always write about the school's need for an opinion column in the student paper ;)
You should talk about cliques and stuff: how ppl would like to think there isnt a clique problem in schools but there really are, or talk about ppl and how theyre obsessed with how they look, or something like that. just do something that really makes a difference and ppl should know about.
marijuana policies.
or something reagarding drinking.
or maybe senoir privledges and what they should be, then go out and ask afew people so u can include quotes in it to make it seem more valid.
good luck.

that clique is old news. how about if they had to live in a depression era that might be on its way soon

You want to capture their attention. You could do styles, but those are overrated and not too creative. In my high school we have different cliches, you could write about those also. There are many things you could be writing about, you just need to think long enough for them to come to you. You could do your opinion on school clubs, teachers, work load, etc. There is many possibilities.

Any creative ideas ....? ...?
My enlish teacher told us, that we have to do some sort of 'project'.
Her other group is doing kind of like 'portfolio' . They're doing a review of what book they read, what film they watched. Some people are doing their family tree. The teacher suggested wiriting a letter, and including everything that happened in 1st year, or maybe writing a story. Does anybody else have any ideas?
do a project/ or diary on anything your interested in,like a band, or an issue in the media that your concerned with . make surveys and questionaries for people to get their own opinion and you could also do a video diary or a blog to accompany it . hope its useful :)

What is something you can teach yourself to do at work, be it a language, crocheting, etc?
I am looking for something to learn that I would be able to do at work due to Big Brother taking over. We have a lot of down time and I want to use it in a productive manner. It would be something I could teach myself. Thanks for all ideas.
Yes, needlework and knitting too. Magic tricks (needs lots of practice using cards and coins) If you have a computer you can use, you can learn a lot of computer related things if you don't know them already. HTML, how to build a website, how to use well any of the programs that would help you get another job when you get tired of Big Brother. You can take up writing. Either in the form of blogging, journal writing, short story writing, poetry etc. You can sculpt on a small scale using sculpey or fimo. Painting and drawing. (painting in an office would be easiest with watercolors, you don't need a bunch of stuff...paper, pencil, brush, paint, water, paper towels) Photography was actually something I did a lot of in my downtime when I was working in an office. I got fairly good at taking artistic photos of boring things. Wood carving. Origami. Jewelery making. You could learn all you can about a certain aspect of history or art history.
I tried to think of things that aren't unreasonably messy. Being an artist, unfortunately most of everything that came to mind was art related.

i recently smoked some weed that had been doused with air freshener, febreze to be exact, i tripped so bad that i almost drove myself to the hospital. What i am asking is, has anyone else smoked weed that has been soaked in febreze? it is a bad trip people
That could have killed you. You shouldn't smoke chemicals.
Congratulations. you are a douchebag.
unless you didn't know it was laced in which case, I revoke my previous statement.

Girls, show me how to?
I've been slapped twice by girls who got me with a tricky move where they lean a hip out and put a hand on it and give a cute smile, then SLAP! and it works every time! It's like i'm frozen and can't even move to duck, never mind block it, i don't even think that works. thing is, i can block it when ever a girl tries to smack me where she'll lift her hand up, but it doesn't work against this move!!!! what does?
The question should be why are they slapping you?

Ways to be creative???????????
Hello!
I used to be very imaginative and I loved to write. I have had so many story ideas, and even won awards and contests. However, I've been feeling super-stressed lately with the economy, finishing my
Bachelor's, and some health issues.
Any advice on how I can unwind and start generating some writing ideas? Thanks so much!
It sounds stupid and cliche, but try writing about how you're having trouble writing. Sometimes when I do that, I end up on a tangent, which leads me to something else and so on and so on until I'm back into the groove of things.
pick out headlines from a newspaper and use that as a theme in a story.

For anyone that has worked or is working at a museum?
What was it/what is it like to work at a museum? What did you specialize in? Where did you work? Any fun stories?
Hi, I worked in two museums as a collections manager (archaeologist). It was a bit boring because of lack of funding and therefore lack of exhibit rotation. Developing new exhibits is the best part and managing the collections (preservation, new aquisitions) was the greatest challenge. No great stories just a lot of the question Do you dig up dinosaurs? (I'm an archaeologist). Lots of school tours and parents feeding their kids misinformation.

With the lights on our off?
and who deciedes
either, or, no one cares, just get it on.
Candlelight's the best! Or, a flickering fire in the fireplace. Just enough light so u can see ur partner's body and expressions on his/her face. Flattering too! As for who decides, shouldn't it be mutual? If two people can't agree on something as simple as this, what the he__ are they doin' in the bedroom!
thats a retarded question
lights off and the girl should decide
I do, and I say on.

Why does calling a prehistoric figure a woman instead of Venus change our thinking about the art?
Because calling it Venus immediately creates an assumption of it being a deity and in particular associates it with the Roman goddess.
Simply referring to it as a woman allows people to view it without those preconceptions being created.
Botticelli's Birth of Venus has become synonymous with beauty and the feminine image in the arts.

Art project! Help please :)?
Ok, so I have to make an imaginative human body for my college art class this week. My idea so far is to make like a techno-man/woman...like a person with technology built inside, for example, a cell phone, ipod, tv, computer, etc...
What kind of materials should i use to actually make the body...and I'm of course not going to use real cell phones or ipods, so does anyone know what i should make those out of?? or should I try to find play ones??
I am not very artistic haha...and if anyone has a better idea then a techno man PLEASE let me know, I'm open to suggestions :)
thankss!
If you go to a dollar store you can find tons of fake cell phones and ipods for cheap. I think it is a really great idea, it really shows how people are these days, they practically always have a cell phone or other device attached to them, so i guess they might as well be made of it. Great idea!
You should draw a tree.
you can take a tissue roll and maybe a box of sweethearts or something of the sort and glue them together to make a camera find i cardboard bow or a board and fold it into a laptop and/or a cell phone ummmm.......... make sure you remember to make a memory key and i nintendo ds/dsi or a wii and a flatscreen tv (if you can) and spaekers car or computer you can also make an ipod out of a small box too and you can use yard or something as cords cuz there days everything plugs up and have a mouse and keyboard too and have a memory chip too and a gps system if you know how the tin man off of the wizard of oz is make your person similar to him and have his/her stomache open up and have all these thing hanging in there ir something like that. i hope i helped

Are grammatical errors a major problem when sending out manuscript?
I'm after sending out my manuscript to a literary agent.
It was all neatly typed, proper spelling and properly laid out. I then sent it off with an appropriate cover letter and brief summary, along with a postcard for them to send back to me for the receipt of my manuscript. I also gave them a stamped addressed envelope, should they need to return it.
Now, that's all good..BUT after having laboriously proofread my story so many times, i recently discovered that i had overlooked 1 or 2 grammatical errors!!
When i saw it I almost got a stroke, coz I couldn't understand how I had overlooked them! But, as i said, there are only 1 or 2.
Do you think the agent would scrap my manuscript on account of those few errors, or would they, in turn, be willing to overlook it...considering the amount of effort i otherwise put into the manuscript?
Thanks
If the errors are few, occur in an otherwise clean and good-looking manuscript, in an otherwise intriguing story, and preferably not on the first few pages...I don't think they'll matter.
But, all readers are different and some have so many manuscripts that they are just looking for reasons to put some down and not bother with them. (This is why yours hopefully aren't in the first few pages. They are more likely to overlook them and keep reading if they are already hooked a little bit). Go ahead and clean them up for the next round of submissions, though, should they be necessary.
If you are serious about publishing, the best thing you can do is hire a proof-reader (and maybe an editor...the two are different despite what some people on these forums seem to think) to go over the manuscript in advance next time. For a single chapter, the fee is usually small and it could well make the difference in getting published and being tossed aside without any more than a skimming of the first paragraph.
Also, what kind of grammatical mistakes?
If it really is only 1 or 2, it's neither here nor there. Even published books have occasional typos.
But they aren't looking at your manuscript with regard to how hard you tried. They are looking at it for how good it is.
FIX IT
RESEND IT
GET AN EDITOR
You need to think about how many manuscripts these people get in a week. If they notice just one error... que the doubts
Good luck!
if the manuscript is really good i doubt if those few errors will make adifference.
Don't worry so much about it. That's why they have editors.
An agent might overlook the problem, he or she might not notice it.
But when you say that there are only 1 or two, then I suggest you proofread it again as I am expecting more to come up.
For publishers (those who publish your book without you shouldering a dime), a well written story and a flawless command of the language is needed.
If, and only if the manuscript contains excellent story line and technical aspects of it (such as grammar) are all well written, one or two errors MIGHT be overlook. Specially if the problems only arises at the middle... because at least then, they'll either be hook or not to your story.
Effort in writing the manuscript does not count.. at all. Publishers, except Vanity presses, are quite strict. They spend money to publish you so they will choose the manuscript that will sell the most.
EDIT: OMG, why are people thinking that editors are hired to fix grammar errors?
Editors are people who specialize in improving a work, not fix its problems. A publisher will not spend a dime on an editor to edit a manuscript that they do not like...

What is a secret a teen girl wouldn
I'm writing a fantasy YA book and I'm stuck! I need my protagonist to discover (through her mind-reading abilities) a secret about the antagonist (both are 17).
She'll spread the secret around-- and reap the consequences (remorse, guilt, etc) - thus helping her to make better choices in the future. It's a set-up to a larger scene.
I need something for her to spread...something that would really hurt the antagonist. It should be something that would crush the antagonist if it was exposed. Also, I need it to be verifiable by others...otherwise the antagonist could just deny it
SICKNESS?
THAT SHE HAS CANCER.
and her hair falls out.
pregnancy, rape, a parent/close relative gone to jail but everyone thinks they're dead/gone away to study, abortion, killed someone by accident?, lesbian, on drugs, can't have babies? (it's not really what some teens would care about though), raped someone?, got someone sent to the hospital, prostitution, etc.
hope that's alright. x
It could be that the other girl is a lesbian or has a huge heroine/ecstasy addiction. The girl may have an STD such as gential herpes or the girl may have screwed most of the football team.
pregnancy
drugs
alcohol abuse
failing grades
witch craft
lesbianism
gang violence
prostitution
anorexia
bulimia
sexually transmitted disease
to name a few.....
If it's verifiable by others, how is it a secret?
pregnant? something like that woudl be good...
The question
What would a teen girl not want her peers to know? Just about everything. Remember everything is about secrets and gossip when you are teen.
That she got reconstructive surgery when she was very young due to a birth defect.
That her parents are actually her older sister and her husband because her parents abandoned her.
That she thinks she is mixed raced. or one of her parents were.
That her mother is really a famous stripper.
that her father is doing 30 years in prison for 2nd degree murder --he shot a guy during an armed robbery.
That is she POOR. And shoplifts
That she already has an extensive juvenile record.
That she has an STD--she got at the age of 13 when she was raped by her brother's best friend.
That she was an Olympic hopeful in running until she hurt her legs.
She killed another teen in a auto accident.
Her mother wants to "turn her out" to help the family income.

How come yahoo is hiding my question?
Have I done something to offend the Yahoo gods? The last two questions I asked in PHILOSOPHY do not appear on the philosophy page? I would link you to them but THAT would be against Yahoo guidelines, but they DO appear in my profile!
I think when someone decided that being a Feminist meant I was breaking Yahoo guidelines and Yahoo SUPPORTED that asinine decision I think that I became persona non-grata in YA.
Have any of your experienced this before?
Yes. they a lot of times go in and out of existence, except in your profile.
I saw both of those questions, so I don't think they are being hidden. In fact, I'm pretty sure that I answered one of them. Also, you could try taking up your violation with customer service, I got a answer violation and I appealed it and they still said it was in violation, so I wrote customer service and they restored the question and apologized. They don't actually read the question, just the tag line I believe. They probably get 1000s of violations a day, I'm sure it has nothing to do with you personally.
Same thing here. Many of my questions did not go through to the main page and only received one answer much later. In other cases, you are rewarded with a nice violation, which means you lose fifteen points!
Yes, I answered it. If you have notifications on, you should be getting a message in your mail telling you your question is going to expire, would you like to extend it.
I suggest you delete the questions in your profile, BEFORE you get a violation.
Maybe they are afraid you will take all your "fans" and form a better answers, lol!
I have had this crazy thing happen before for the ways of the gods is not known to mortal men.. Yahoo is very strange when they censor a question when it hasn't been violated out right. The censors seem to be very literal and not that bright. Anyways, why not write your questions in the details so we cut and paste them to find them or barring that open up your profile so we can find the questions that way.
Add: LOL. Live and let live. I never violate anyone since I'm not for censorship.
Found one question but not the book one. However, the answer is no book deal at least that I know of. I personally know Morpheus and he's never been offered one. But I am sure with the fine quality of that writing that the two of us display I'm sure it's any day now that we will offered one, LOL.
