Where am i going and what should i do?

I have been playing piano for about a year with lessons, they were fun, but i moved and got a new teacher who tells me my old teacher taught me it wrong, so i have to learn all over again…
Honsetly, my father dosent want that bcz well im not like super serious about piano, i do it for fun+pleasure. not bcz i want to major in music or play for church or anything.
I would love to continue doing piano but my father is seeing about me to stop playing piano bcz he says i need a goal or something to work towards. (to get better at).
What should i do? Quit lessons? What kind of goal could i have?
Also where can i find some free sheet music online? Maybe i could try doing some of that by myself.?
Help me please.
im 13 btw.

Try www. 8notes.com for classical.
Try sheetmusicdirect if you want to learn the piano version of different english songs (slightly easier in my experience)
By the way, i dont think theres any worng wayto learn piano. Its just the way you play it. Its really difficult but like you said its really fun. No need to quit. Try this new teachers method. If you dont like the way he teaches, quit.

Recording artist Terrance Day is in the process of breaking a new record no pun intended. His goal is to sell 1,000,000 copies of the new independent CD A Simple Life. This is being done through his own popular web site MakeMusicHistory.com

He is offering free permanent web exposure to each Official Sponsor and Supporter. The site steadily receives more web site visitors each day. Terrance said, traffic is coming in from all over the world every hour.

Individuals, families, businesses owners, and organizations can be part of making music history Everyone who supports this effort with a CD purchase receives a permanent place on the web site. Their name and link are added to the Official Sponsor or Supporter page online. During the official launch this week, MakeMusicHistory.com has received more than 92,000 unique visitors.

The web site was developed over a period of a few months, said Terrance. He has been making his own web sites since 2000 after he left his last corporate job as a Tech Recruiter. This web site seems to be destined to be his most popular web site so far.

Clear Channel owns all the major radio stations and venues. Most musicians are not aware that few people control so much of what we hear says Susan Tedeschi, a Berklee College of Music graduate from Massachusetts. It may be true that most independent Artists like Terrance Day would not receive major airplay in the US. However, new emerging talent can still be heard through an online presence. This has been proven with independent music sales through CD Baby, iTunes, and other online music stores.

The CD A Simple Life can be previewed and ordered online for 4 and additional copies are only 99 cents plus shipping & handling at http www.makemusichistory.com Official Sponsors and Supporters also get a free digital copy of the CD, free ringtones featuring samples off the CD, plus more. A portion of sales will be donated to a non profit organization called Christian Childrens Fund.

Terrance wrote 10 songs in 10 days from Nov. 1 to Nov. 11 in 2003. Those songs are included on the CD A Simple Life. After 4 years of recording and music production, he hopes to make a healthy impact on his audience. Songs on this new CD feature original Rock and Country music, with Alternative and Pop influences. The lyrics share positive messages with colorful imagination, faith, and life experiences. The CD was released last month on his own independent record label called 3000 Records.

Previously, Terrance Day has toured around the USA several times since 1999. During the last tour in 2003 he drove a 1973 Plymouth Fury station wagon nicknamed the Superwagon from Michigan to Texas and many other states He likes to write music that inspires people and share the music with as many people as humanly possible He is available for booking at venues like coffee shops, churches, restaurants, bars, house concerts, or even as an opener for bigger acts. The next tour will begin this December, and continue well into 2008.

While selling 1,000,000 CDs is a major challenge, he remains focused on the goal. MakeMusicHistory.com was created so people who support independent music could help make music history He confidently shares his goal with just about everyone he connects with. Terrance smiled as he said, Even if I meet 1percentage of my goal, that would still be quite significant You never know til you try.

Emulated but never duplicated, Bob Dylan’s influence on popular music is truly incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-conscious narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notions that in order to perform, a singer had to have a conventionally good voice, thereby redefining the role of vocalist in popular music.

Bob Dylan began performing in coffeehouses, and his rough charisma won him a significant following. In April, he opened for John Lee Hooker at Gerde’s Folk City. Five months later, Dylan performed another concert at the venue, which was reviewed positively by Robert Shelton in the New York Times. Columbia A&R man John Hammond sought out Dylan on the strength of the review, and signed the songwriter in the fall of 1961. Hammond produced Dylan’s eponymous debut album (released in March 1962), a collection of folk and blues standards that boasted only two original songs.

Over the course of 1962, Bob Dylan began to write a large batch of original songs, many of which were political protest songs in the vein of his Greenwich contemporaries. These songs were showcased on his second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Before its release, Freewheelin’ went through several incarnations. Dylan had recorded a rock & roll single, “Mixed Up Confusion,” at the end of 1962, but his manager, Albert Grossman, made sure the record was deleted because he wanted to present Dylan as an acoustic folky.

The permissive and unrestrictive Bob Dylan made a huge impact in the U.S. folk community, and many performers began covering songs from the album. Of these, the most significant were Peter, Paul & Mary, who made “Blowin’ in the Wind” into a huge pop hit in the summer of 1963 and thereby made Bob Dylan into a recognizable household name. On the strength of Peter, Paul & Mary’s cover and his opening gigs for popular folky Joan Baez, Freewheelin’ became a hit in the fall of 1963, climbing to number 23 on the charts.

While Dylan’s 1969 album was a hit, spawning the Top Ten single “Lay Lady Lay,” it was criticized in some quarters for uneven material. The mixed reception was the beginning of a full-blown backlash that arrived with the double-album Self Portrait. Released early in June of 1970, the album was a hodgepodge of covers, live tracks, re-interpretations, and new songs greeted with negative reviews from all quarters of the press. Bob Dylan followed the album quickly with New Morning, which was hailed as a comeback.

Bob Dylan’s hugely successful 1974 Planet Waves world tour was the beginning of a comeback culminated by 1975′s Blood on the Tracks. Largely inspired by the disintegration of his marriage, Blood on the Tracks was hailed as a return to form by critics and it became his second number one album.

At the conclusion of his 1978 tour, Bob Dylan announced that he was a born-again Christian, and he launched a series of Christian albums that following summer with Slow Train Coming. Though the reviews were mixed, the album was a success, peaking at number three and going platinum.

In 1988, Bob Dylan embarked on what became known as “The Never-Ending Tour” — a constant stream of shows that ran on and off into the late ’90s. That same year, he released Down in the Groove, an album largely comprised of covers. The Never-Ending Tour received far stronger reviews than Down in the Groove, but 1989′s Oh Mercy was his most acclaimed album since 1974′s Blood on the Tracks. However, his 1990 follow-up, Under the Red Sky, was received poorly, especially when compared to the enthusiastic reception for the 1991 box set The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased), a collection of previously unreleased outtakes and rarities.

It was followed in 1993 by another folk album, World Gone Wrong, which won the Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album. After the release of World Gone Wrong, Bob Dylan released a greatest-hits album and a live record. Dylan released Time Out of Mind, his first album of original material in seven years, in the fall of 1997. Time Out of Mind received his strongest reviews in years and unexpectedly debuted in the Top Ten.

Another album of original material, Love and Theft, followed in 2001. Soon after its release, Bob Dylan announced that he was making his own film, to star Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, John Goodman, Val Kilmer, and many more. The accompanying soundtrack, Masked and Anonymous, was released in July 2003. Today, Dylan continues to define his legacy, proving that his tremendous talent, unwavering courage to be different, and extraordinary musical prowess will continue to challenge and change the face of the music industry for years to come.
