Hello from Long Island New York

[gmizrahi]

I'm 50 and I am so excited to learn music again and use my new Gino's keyboard. I've tried to play the guitar for many years but never got to the point where I considered myself good enough.  I think I went a bit over my head with the purchase of such a complicated keyboardt since I never really owned one and feel now overwhelmed. But I do like challenges and I do love how the instrument sound and all of the different options available. I'm learning how to play the piano in general using two software's piano marvel and simply piano which I both started a couple of weeks ago.  I was thinking about taking lessons with a teacher but there are so many resources on the Internet and I like to figure things out on myself.
I look forward to participating in this form and meet new people and learn from you guys.

Thanks

Gabi

Welcome Gabi! Congratulations with your Genos! Take things slowly, step by step. And have fun! Music is about having fun.

Hi Gabi, wellcome to the forum! 
I have tried to learn music on my own at a big age and I think the most important thing for me was to let my fingers learn the Musical Scales.
I believe you are saving time when you are reducing the keys from 12 keys to 7 or 9 keys before you even start to play a melody.

Hi Gabi!

Shalom !

All my family is from Long Island. Are you from Great Neck too? LOL

It's very admirable that you start learning music. It's such a great dimension to have in your life. Owning a Genos? More like a whole new Planet to explore. Good Luck
