As an offshoot from Aaaagh thread, I have always liked the challenge for playing in 5,6,7 sharps/flat keys.
Once you do sort out the notes, its no different from any other key, but some people just shy away from those keys. Having said that I always have some trouble with G#minor for some reason , the others dont faze me. What does everone else think ? |

Yep, thanks from me too - never seen that before. It's actually quite fun (in a twisted sort of way). I have one very maths-y 15 year-old who'll proabably quite like that. |

It's actually quite a good piece to show eo explain why we might say Ab sometimes and G# at others - the tune in seen to go up when actually it goes down, and vice versa! |
