??? Frequently Asked Questions ???
Where do you get your music sheets?
New print music is available from music & piano stores, even in some bookstores. I do support the song writers & the music industry by buying the print music.
Can You Do A Tutorial ?
The objective is to demo a varied repertoire. There will be videos showing just the hands only.
What model keyboards do you use ?
The model is a Technics SX-PR604. One of the last models produced by Technics /Japan. Absolutely magnificent digital piano.
in the older videos a Technics KN1600 Keyboard was used for Orchestration & sequencing with a "slave" 88 note Roland (means the sounds are MIDI patched from another keyboard).
How do you learn the music & get the feel ?
Listen to the music several times..put it in your mp3 player & listen while you work, drive or go for a walk.
How do you improvise and enhance the song ?
This is an evolving process as you become a better musician. It's important to know your scales, arpeggios & chord inversions. Practice playing some melodies in octaves and add harmonies to complement it.
How do you get the background sounds ?
On high end keyboards, 16 track sequencer is built in. This provides the accompaniment on most of the videos.
They are either MIDI or technics format.
How do you play well ?
Lots of practice, keep a positive attitude & focus on doing well. If you make mistakes (as we all do). just smile & carry on.
Most of all Love and enjoy what you're doing.
Why do you change styles of music in your repertoire ?
A good musician/entertainer must be able to do a range of styles and genres of music.
Too many pianists only do classical. There are pianist who only do Jazz and there are pianist that play the same way in every song. It is a challenge and a lot of work to do different styles. It is more enjoyable to do a varied repertoire and you are in demand as a versatile piano player. You get the best playing engagements, because you can entertain all age groups.
Are You a Filipino ? Question I get asked a lot. Heritage comes from (Filipino / Spanish). Grew up in Australia.
A fine blend of Cultures & history that makes my life so full of vitality. ^_^
