Really really far... Good luck then. Bak kut Teh for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Contacted the representative last week. They gave this answer. Today is 1st of April. I'm getting more excited.

Cannot. Will kena stroke and heart disease easily lol

yea...iirc they have quite a lot of reps in KL. All the best to you then... I am yet to take my piano diploma exam... feels really hard... still practicing my pathetic until so pathetic...fingers kept on crossing each other in some parts in 3rd movement. what songs do you choose? I am using Trinity.

I sat Trinity exam four years ago. In this year, I am going to try something new. That is sight reading My first piece will be Sonata in D K 576 ( Mozart ), followed by Barcarolle in F# Op.60 ( Chopin ) and the last is L'isle Joyeuse ( Debussy ). What I hate is I have short fingers which fit nicely for 8ve If not, I can reduce lot of mistake. What are the pieces that you play?

Omg... so pro one... I am doing pathetique (thats why I am so pathetic), Chopin's Nocturne in B flat minor Op9 no1, scarlatti sonata in B minor....its actually over time...lol... pathetique itself took up alot of time already. any 20th century song u can recommend...nice ones and not boring ones... heh.

got a video here, song is simple and nice type, abit like scarlatti sonata in B minor...

Not pro. Just average level. I know what is the first song that you are doing. Sonata in C minor no.8, Op. 13 All of my friend love this piece very much. I played this too in Dip. ATCL. For 20th century, I quite like Trios Novelettes especially the first novelette. The first one is quite simple and nice.

Thanks alot. Its really simple and nice type. Just the one I like. Thanks.

Thanks zzzxtreme, so sorry for the late post, damned I didn't checked this thread for so long.... BTW I already got myself Moog Moogerfooger MF-102 at JS Music. They're official Moog dealer in Malaysia. But too bad, the Moog products there are way too overpriced.
* And I saw a Voyager Old School there. Very NICE synth!!!! (and the price too)

Slim Phatty or Little Phatty is my next target....

Hope for more topics about synths/keyboards here....

Hi im interest learn piano but is expensive i dun haf money buy as i already save n buy a drum set. I have an organ in my house can i use that to substitute as a piano and play first while saving to get a keyboard in the future? Or are they diferent cannot learn from organ?

actually you can if you just want to learn for fun.

im learn for serious not fun. I mean not to be professional la but serious in learning. Just wanna play some good music and of course play it well la.

Just im worry maybe the key different or wat or wat. Cos i never own or play a piano b4 i dunno wat the neccesary in piano.

Can substitutre learn on organ first then next time transfer what i learn n practice to piano easily? I mean r, are they same in terms of using to learn?

tnx

DUnno much about organ.... But touch on it some times ago.... the octaves in organs are different from piano...higher iirc... and you can learn organ first then transfer to piano anytime.... more or less the same besides the touches are different & piano requires alot alot more technicalities imo. and I dont think you play melody and accompaniment in organ as well.... someone to very this?

touch as u mean the feel? the heavier key on piano? that 1 not importnt la since they cannot be 100% same right.

but if octaves different then totally cannot liao lo since if learn on organ cannot transfer to piano oso cos will be playng different thing right?

u assume it to be a lower octave.... no choice if you wanna substitute organ with piano what..

u mean as in the sound? So technique wise, if i ignore the octave sound I will learn the correct technique and able to transfer to a piano later?

Also i plan getting a keyboard. Keyboard is similar to piano right?

you can definitely start out with organ. what liez means it's the range of the keyboard. on piano, it's all standard, the "middle C" is there and it'll be always there. but on organ/keyboard, you can transpose so that same key but everything shifted an octave up/down.

what you'll never learn on organ is sustain pedal. as far as i know there's little point to plug in sustain pedal (if there's any port for you to plug in). but fingerings and size of the keys are more or less same, and as mentioned, piano keys are weighted due to lifting the hammer to hit the strings. It's not like digital stuffs, different players can sound different on the same piano due to different force/speed/touch hit on the keys by different players.

k thnx i will start practice broken chords

Hey guys,i am self taught, neva been to any class and am currently learning rachmaninoff's prelude op. 23 no 5 in G minor using synthesia played back in 50% speed..

I'd like to ask sifus over here if u hv any useful tips for me in learning dis song. It might sound too general but anything will do.

Thank you so much

p.s. so far i'm able to play the first and 2nd section, marches and arpeggios.

Yes, you could say that a keyboard is SIMILAR to a piano but it is important to note that they are NOT THE SAME.
Just ensure that you get a good quality keyboard with weighted keys, touch response with the appropriate number of keys.
