I'm sorry if I came off as harsh. I was just trying to understand Paul's thinking. Getting involved with keyboards, synths and music in gereral has never been portrayed as easy in any places I've ever been. On the contrary .... it's a skill position that requires talent. It's not like typing .... anyone can learn that eventually, but to be a musician requires a gift before you get started. To recognize and accept that gift is the first step toward the journey of playing music. (not just notes) After that .... how far yoyu take it depends on how strong the gift is and how hard you work at perfecting the skill.

I've seen "how to" videos in the stores but I can't name a good one for you. Ask the music shop owner for a recomendation, or ask to speak to the keyboard teacher about ideas. Studying music is so much more rewarding than studying history or math. The fun factor is built right in, and the gains are instant in many cases.

One more thing ...... push yourself AWAY from the pc and get out and WATCH some performers at thier craft. That's a great way to get excited and learn ideas and tricks for your own performance. You got to SEE it to believe it. Get off line and get OUT in the world a bit. Music is meant to be shared. Now, go share some!!!!!
