Well the reason why I like electronic music goes back to an episode of Sesame Street. Where Steve Wonder was the Guest and was showing off his keyboards to Grover Monster. I was impressed by the sounds comming out of these insturments. They were not like traditional musical instruments. Also they were not the typical instuments found in rock music. Also listening to Switched on Bach got me more an more interseted, as well as a class in electronic music in high school, plus subscribeing to KEYBOARD magazine. This became a hobby to me. I also wanted to learn more about synths and electronic music.

The other reason was that I had always wanted a synthesizer. Becuse i never really saw them as musical instruments. SO-B changed all that for me. I thought that playing a synth would be more fun then playing the paino which I spent year playing. Actually I had learned to play keyboards or even th organ I would ahve kept up with my playing and been better now then I am. I remember my mother telling me I had to learn to play the piano, before playing the organ. Ans since the piano was all my parents had, that and the fact they were not going to spend the money to buy me a home organ, let alone a synthesizser.

Also the music I was learing to play was classical, BOREING!!! So I never really persude it. I even tried a vraity of learning techniques but nothing seemed to help. Even buying different keyboards did not help.

I even figured I would try and make my own experimental music. I like experimantal music. I have a CD on Experimental Musical Instruments called: Gravichords, Whrilies and Pyrophones.

Also when I frist laid eyes on a Minimoog that's what really got me too want to have my own synthesizer. Basiclly becuse of all those knobs.

Now that I have a synth, even though it's not the one that I wanted, I feel that I should be obligated to learn to play it. Evn my father said I should.

Trying not to get frustrated and dsicouraged is really hard for me.

You know I was just about to give up the whole thing and just say forget it, it's not worth it. Also since I never had much encouragement to continue to play I have not wanted to even bother trying. I figure since no one else cares why should I.
