Actually I thought the Gb would be the note you would end up on, :smile: silly me. But, I figured it out.

I'm 63 and disabled along with being a beginner so I won't have a lot to report on for awhile. I don't have a stand to put my key board on yet so I'm a couple of days away from doing and practicing. I have an old Yamaha Keyboard, I give $50 for at a pon shop 10 years ago. It stay in my basement for 6 or 7 years when my Grandson found it and wanted to play with so I cleaned it up bought a power converter wit cord plug in and gave it to him. He took Piano Lessons during Vacation Bible School from the Preacher's teenage daughter and learned how to play. He is 14years old now and has been playing Trombone in school band for 2 years now. He still plays piano at home. Some one gave him and old one full size at that so he is Happy as a pig in a muddle hole! I just got the keyboard back from him not to long ago and I trying to get everything setup to start my Piano Lessons. I have to depend on others to do certain things for me due to pain and stiffness prevents me from sitting ,standing and walking for very long distances or periods of time. I have been trying to learn how to read music best I can and to learn about the chords. The notes above and below the lines still escape my learning their meaning and how to read or play them. I am in no hurry I read study and practice on an online keyboard that I found last Friday. I'm not out to break and speed records for learning I just want to enjoy my learning experience and play the best I can with what I have. If I die before I learn all there is to know about music I figure its a win win for me cause I'm a born again Christian and Death i just a door I have to go thru to Glory and to be with my Savior Jesus Christ who died for my sins so I could have eternal life be part of The Greatest Family that has ever existed. Upon my Death The Bible (KJV) TELLS US WE CHRISTIANS that we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye and we'll receive an corruptible body and we'll never die! I guess I got a a little long winded, so I apologize and I'll close. Thank and keep up the good work and God Bless You.

I love music and have attempted to learn the piano quite a few times. But have given up because of all the practice required to learn scales and chords. I quit attempting to learn about 10 years ago and settled playing CDs. That I learned pretty easy :lol: I can't beleive how much I undestand now working thru the report. I know I still need a lot of practice but I think I am going to enjoy practicing because in the past it was just praticing things by rote and that bored me. Now using intervals and lisening for building tension and then releif it is going to be more fun. I still have a lot more practicing to do but I think I am going to enjoy it a lot more. Thank You for the report lesson. Hi Rod,

I am eager to study, learn absorb and MASTER the essence of music with the light of your guiding principles. Thanks agaain. Abel Hi Rod,

The first Lesson was excellent! I want more so i can learn more. I'm straight up beginner piano player. I play guitar so I got some experience with music and I was able to pick up most, if not, all the information in the first lesson. I would like to learn more especially on what to do with the right hand which from what I think is used for melody and your left hand is for chords. But Im not completely sure. Anyways the next thing I want to learn is how to use both hands and what to play with each, etc. Free stuff like the first lesson would be so great!! Thank you again and God bless Hello everyone.

I must say i am quite relieved. I started learning Piano around 6 months ago and i was finding it quite tough, i really have no clue where I am going. Its so difficult to memmorize the notes and reading from a music sheet. Yes, i want to learn how to read it, but the process seems so long and demotivating. This lesson of yoursis a life saver. I can put things into perspective. I am now not shocked to see the chords and scales in funny names. I am gonna buy that "Logic Behind Music" soon, May be in a month or two.(Pretty hard times- too many bills to pay .lol) . I believe its gonna do justince to the Piano I just bought last month! Thanks for your works Rod, Cheers Joe Hi Rod,
