Greetings from New Zealand

[Mikk]

I have been a member for a while and have been pretty lax with you guys, sorry.
I just want to say that there has been a few times I have come to the forum and have found a lot of valuable information which has helped me.
I have just purchased a Tyros 4 which is like new and am slowly coming to grips with it.
I put the reference manual PDF onto my Ipad and spend about 1/2 hour every night studying it.

A few years ago I had this  idea that if I got a better keyboard, I would be able to play better. Don't work.
Only way for me to play better is to practice every day for at least 30 minutes plus watching others play the keys, mostly from Youtube.
I am now studying your questions that have had no replies to and hope I can help out with a sensible answer.
bye for now.

Welcome to the Forum Mikk.    I also live in New Zealand (Mosgiel, Otago).      Where are you?     I have been a member of the Forum for many years and have found it most informative and helpful.     I have a Tyros 5 which I am really thrilled with and I also still have a Tyros 1 which I use to play at one of our Dance Clubs.     I started a group a few years ago to try and help friends with the working of the Yamaha keyboards (not teaching music).      I still have a lot to learn myself and I find that belonging to Forums like this has been extremely helpful and I am sure you will find this also.

Kind regards

Hello Jewel,
I live in Martinborough.  A quiet little village  during the week except gets over run with tourists in the weekends and holidays.
thanks to Roger, Gloria and Panos.
Oh Roger, I would like to become a supporting member and also purchase any Material that relates to Tyros 4, Tyros 2, Kn7000. and PA4x keyboards. do I need to make a donation as well to become a supporting member?

Just been downloading a few tutorials for those keyboards from Youtube. I use "Aimersoft"   to do that. I also download some music from Youtube and get Aimersoft to convert it to mp3, which I can then run in "Riffstation". that gives me all the chords in real time. Very helpful for me.
all the best to you .
Mike.

Hi Mike,

You may purchase one or several of the website's resources or make a donation and you will then become a Supporting Member of the forum.  Even if you don't purchase anything and just make a donation, Joe Waters will still send you some of the website's resources.  If you know specifically what you would like to buy, then it's best to purchase those assets and that way you will get what you want.

Just look back at my original post and click on the links I provided for you.  Thank you for wanting to become a Supporting Member of this great forum and website.
