At my sprogs' (secondary) school, they had about three class music lessons involving pressing about four keys on electronic keyboards. Then they changed to drums because, "you've now learnt to play keyboard". Erm...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)


That is shocking, and a terrible indictment on music education in some schools.

Makes me sad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

So I've been playing for more than a year, well 30 years - does this mean I know everything?

PS Looking at the fact I've written a bit in captials (why didn't I just use bold or italic?), I think our friend BERNIE might find a course such as this of INTEREST.

####### - so why couldn't I work out 3 bars in my new piece this morning then? I was obviously using the wrong elementary finger patterns (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Gets slated reviews in here:

Looks like they DO give the money back if requested, but they probably base their "business model" around the fact that a certain percentage of people will not bother.

I'm sure that Tom the Cat did a much simpler course: Three lessons and only 6 notes in total - it took him about 5 seconds! Then he threw the book away and launched into (I think) a Chopin Waltz (from memory!)

After that when Tom played Jerry danced, until Tom stopped to try and catch Jerry, then Jerry ran for it!

I think the course as advertised in the link in the OP falls into the same category of fiction as Tom & Jerry's course.

I liked the Tom and Jerry Listz one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWGQaczNL5I here's the link for anyone who hasn't seen it, it's a must, honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

One of the keyboard's black keys is broken. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) BUT... if you click on the one without a label, you get $10 off! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/woot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I have to say though, I'm quite enjoying the whole-tone white notes. I think a redesign of the standard keyboard is called for. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

similar set of jokes, and a few new ones: bugs bunny doing battle with another mouse. Liberties with the actual structures of pianos taken in both cartoons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
