Would you now like an example of how to improvise? Say, in a very simple form and being explained so in written word?

YES!! What has taken you so long?? (You can use big "music" words.)

Hi, Wondergirl!

How much do you know how to play on the piano? Please list some pieces that you play, if you do play?

I'm at 46 Private Messages by-the-way. I like to save some in draft folders. It takes me time to do that. Just a hint... ;)

Also, when typing by-the-way as I do, should I or should I not be hyphenating? Or, does it not matter?

[Clough]

I am still waiting for an answer. :) If I can manage three threads at the same time, I am sure that you can, because you have super powers! That's why they call you "Wondergirl!"

[Wondergirl]

Lolololol I just had to clean out my message folders to make room for new messages.

I don't own a piano (or a horse) so I don't play much anymore. I got into etudes and other nasty stuff when I used to play. I understand music theory. I used to be good enough to play the organ as an occasional sub for church services. I can play anything out of the Lutheran Hymnal!

Hyphens are not needed.

No, I'm Wondergirl because I wonder a lot.

Finally, an answer! Gosh darn it! Can't take you anywhere! :p

What etudes, please? The composers? I'm trying to get a feel as to what you know.

Did you play the pedals on the organ? Which Lutheran Hymnal? There's at least three ones that have been published fairly recently in currect use. Did you play the pedal clavier on the hymns using the bass line as written for the hymns? Not really a repeat about the pedals. I had learned how to "chord" on the hymns when I first started playing for churches.

[Wondergirl]

Etudes - Chopin. I hated him.

Yes, I played the pedals on the organ, but barely. No, I didn't "chord" with the pedals. I played out of the 1941 Lutheran Hymnal that used to be used by the Missouri-Synod gang.

I may go insane tonight. I'm too old for this hyper activity.

Am going to work on mailbox for about two minutes here...

Why did you hate Chopin? He's one of my favorites!

[Wondergirl]

Oh noooooooooooooom another place I have to post!!

[Wondergirl]

Probably hated him because I hated my piano teacher.

[Clough]

I am sorry to hear that! The teacher does make a great difference in how you feel and think! If you ever do call me, I will play you some Chopin. But, lets get on with the improvisation side of things first, since that is what this thread is about.

You seem to be doing just fine with the YM post and very intertwined with it. MC appears to be gone.

I'm getting 8 million PMs too from him. Good thing I have nimble fingers and am a fantastically fast typist...

Good thing for you! Why don't you just give him your real email address as well! ;) :) :eek:

[Wondergirl]

I'm thinking about it, but not yet. He seems like a really nice guy, but you never know. Those axe murderers lurk in the most unexpected places.

[Wondergirl]

Things are calming down now. I did my wonderful Wondergirl thing. Ha ha.

So do you have a sense of me and music? Or are you totally lost?

I know what a descant is and a riff.

[Clough]

Do you know what jamming is compared to improv?

[Clough]

And no, I'm not totally lost. Just trying to find where you are. You are somewhere out there. I am here. So, who is lost?

[Clough]

OMG! You're still private messaging! What did they do? Give you a limit of 500 PM's to be stored here?
