Performing Arts

Well, the only person I know with a piano is my grandmother and it's more of an organ than a piano. She's a really crappy teacher too. I've tried to learn from her and it didn't work.

I have very little money. I make maybe $20-$30 a month. Is there a way I could learn? I love the way a piano sounds and just think it'd be so cool to play it.

So, long story short: I'm low on cash, have no possible teachers and want to know if there's a way to learn.

I have no problem hitting inhumane notes in my head voice lol, but i can only hit a C (the one after middle C) in my chest voice. how do i expand my chest voice range. i've also heard that some singers such as idina menzel from Wicked hits those high notes in her head voice, but she has trained her voice to sound like her chest voice. is this true, and if so, how is it accomplished?

Band camp starts soon (high school) and im a senior. Im an all-state caliber player (Tuba, trombone, and baritone) and i really hate being in our (high school) marching band because we suck so bad, we get last place in every festivle and we are pretty much the laughing stock of the county. I really like playing, but only with skilled musicians,.....well heres what im getting at, should i just skip marching band this year and try out for college band next year (next spring)?

I'm trying to play songs like Free Bird and Hotel California on my 12-string acoustic.

On my electric guitar, I can kinda play the barre chords, but on this I can't at all.

It's not so much that my fingers are too weak, but rather that they are not long enough to hit the notes properly. To put it simply, my hands are about the size of a petite 12-year-old girl's. It makes some stuff kinda difficult.

Basically, I'm looking for some tips on playing them (I don't have the cash to get a new guitar or modify this one.)

Or some other ways to play an F, F#, and Bm.

Oh, and I'm not a newb asking a dumb question either. I've been play for a few years and I'm rather good, I just can't barre.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've curious as to part of the story in Rent. We learn that Mark, Roger, Maureen, Collins and Benny used to live together. If this is true then how was it unknown to Roger, Mark and Collins that Benny and Mimi had been together?? I know it's quite sad that I have read so much into the musical as to even ask this. But if anyone has a reasonable theory please share it.
