Well... I had to put average as I am buggered when it comes to the more articulate playing of chords. I was really good when I was about 15, then I just stoppped practicing. Used to play the Clarinet and the Guitar as well. And contrary to what alot of people say, it has made writing music quite tricky for me. I now find it quite hard to stop bloody playing silly non-dance-style melodies. All I ever really learned was basic Jazz and old-Rock style playing. Useless really. The music theory is useful, but I have found that being able to play is quite detrimental to my progress while producing. But I am going to start Classical piano training, as some of the classical writers had some great ideas that can be transfered to alot of dance music. The Brandenburg 5 by Bach, for instance, has a really great way of building and breaking (very organic and epic), that would transfer to Progressive House really well.

Anyway, I am starting to rant.

Steve.

Steve, I don't see why jazz or old-rock could be incorporated into dance music. I especially think making an epic dance track using classical music is quite dull. I don't feel like they should be danced to. Too serious. Just my opinion.

I was just thinking how my grandfather used to play an organ doing be-bop rock type stuff from the 30s and 40s. I'd like to play like he did in the future. It's really fun sounding. I like the timing and rhythm too. I have programmed some of this into a sequencer and played the melody on top. I use a 12 bar blues book at times. I can read score. But very slowly at first.

I agree. The classical pieces really don't fit into dance music and with Bach's Fugas you get really cheesewhizz (a new word) atmosphere.

Classical music works better with ambient and classical piano concerts work well with jazz. Church organ fugas work best with church organ.

You get nice swing thing by that 12/4 timing.
A good technique practise when playing Cm7 (I'm not sure is it Cm7 scale, but anyway its the C,D#,F,F#,G,A#) scale with that timing. Add a innovative C,F,C,G,F chord progression and there you go.

Ah, like that one as well. And the 4th, especially the andante. Coming up on Orbits next 'Pieces' album i suppose.

I voted below average, although I had two years of electronic organ lessons (2 manuals + bass pedals). Now I can't understand why I did't like it. In the end it was a constant pressure to learn one song per week. I learned a lot of classical songs and theory, though.
But I didn't learn how to play with the touch sensitivity. When I play piano, almost nothing happens. I admire piano players because of this.

I have that problem too. With piano it's full force or nothing. I just can't get anything between those two when I play.
