are these photos how the sx900 is standard

[hans1966]

Hi Heidrun, thanks for the detailed explanation of your work, I have seen your videos on YouTube and I liked them. I'd like to ask you something if you don't mind. I have an SX900, and I have noticed sometimes that when I try to combine the three right voices (strings R1, chelosR2, and violin1R3) only the two pimeras are heard. what am I doing wrong?

looks like it is piano lesson rather than keyboard lesson.
with the split keyboard.

thanks

Hi guys,

let me explain what was the motivation for my "Steps Piano Project".

As you know keyboard (= arranger) players play chords with their left hand and the melody with the right.
I often was told that they are unhappy sitting one day at an acoustic piano to only be able to play chords.
So the idea of the "Steps" was born.

It starts at the point the arranger players are comfortable:
Playing chords with their left hand.

But now I teach them step by step how to play a wellsounding and EASY!! piano accompaniment instead of chords.
That this lessons are not so boring I record an playback as a substitute for a background band or an classical orchestra.

And because I want also to give sheet music to those who want to learn the songs I compose own songs.
So I don't hurt copyrights.
Here I go in different music genres: Classic, Pop, Rock, Folk, Blues, Ballads, ...

So you learn how to expand your actual musical abilities.

One really great point:

You also get those playbacks in mp3 format.
So you can play them also with smartphones ect.

And you can always take the orchestra backing with you and need only a piano to play with.
Acoustic or digital - only a piano (a keyboard with 5 octaves also work).

I personally love that - it is a feeling like Richard Clayderman playing with his orchestra!
And it is also wonderful if you play for an audience - family, friends or much more - to be the piano player with his orchestra.

Ok, if you want to take a closer look at my special "baby", which will be continued:

@ Hans:

I am quite sure that the split point of the Right3 voice has the wrong position so that you have 3 split zones on your keyboard.
Press Direct Acces + the ACMP button to check that.

Kind regards, Heidrun

@ again Rikki:

I am sure that your piano experiences will also help you playing an arranger.
Because your left hand will learn also to play melodies.
And that might be helpful to play such songs:

... by the way - do you guess all the songs here?
When musicians get older they maybe forget their songs or parts of them:

You are welcome! :-)

Hi Heidrun, thank you very much for your time. I'm going to try it this afternoon on my keyboard. And I'll let you know the result. regards. Hans

[Heidrun]

Oh yes, Hans - I am very interested about that! Thanks! ;-)

Kind regards, Heidrun

Hi Heidrun,
Thank you for the links. Initially I bought p121 to help me strengthen fingers, and more inclined to go back to learning scales etc on a piano, so thought it might help with playing keyboard.

It's been over 20 years since I tried playing piano. Never got around to combining both arranger and piano. My beautiful baby grand had to be sold due to downsizing home and it put me off playing.
Got involved in keyboard technology instead, not much playing really.

Anyway, found your Steps course, and I've decided to try and go back to what I intended to do over 20 years ago, play piano and just use the keyboard for backing. That was my intention all those years ago.

It's a wonderful hobby.

So thank you.

P.s. the videos are also helping me relearn a bit of the German language. My husband just laughs and asks if I can understand any of it. Haha

[Heidrun]

Whow Rikky, both is really great:

That you go back to a thing you wanted to do for such a long time - and to relearn Germany is surely not bad.

I hope that you can understand me, because my German is a bit "colored":
Because... I speak the "Schwäbisch" dialect you can find around Stuttgart in Southwest Germany - you know, where Daimler Benz, Jürgen Klinsmann and Joachim Löw are coming from (that was for your husband!) ?!

;-)

Kind regards, Heidrun

[rcpilot]

Heidrun, I think you are brilliant!
Thanks for all the products/sharing you have put together...for us all.
Lee

[Heidrun]

I've done that because I know the needs of the keyboard players.

And I am happy if I can help.

Kind regards, Heidrun

Heidrun  You will always be part of my music life   From the very beginning with the Tyros  to today's Genos etc  I have learnt from you and benefited from your downloads  (in addition to your spoken German which as an Englishman is easy to understand) So when you ask if your work is worth a few euros you totally underestimate your value  Please continue your super work
Thanks
Chris

Hi Heidrun,


Your feedback is very much appreciated. Wonderful ! Many thanks.

Best regards, Babette

Whow Chris and Babette...

Thank you for these kind words!

Hi Heindrun,
Youtube English subtitles love your "colored" accent too.
Is it a "caught"?
Is it a "courts"?
Noooooo it is a "choooord" 

Time 11:13  (enable the auto subtitles)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIFuR8OYVJc&list=PL7RKP3gUtidqKcN8Icrfh9-Q4oL-exInU

It's all in the "Harmony" after all 

By the way thanks for your free lessons.

[Heidrun]

It is really really hard for a Swebian to speak a correct English... 

https://youtu.be/jIFuR8OYVJc?list=PL7RKP3gUtidqKcN8Icrfh9-Q4oL-exInU&t=619

Sometimes I have to record such a scene about 30 times until I am satisfied.
Poor Charly has to hear me shouting then ...   *bigsmile*

Yes - all the additional work for the non-German-speaking folks...

Hi Heidrun
I was actually born in Austria, haven't spoken the language in 40 years.  My parents always spoke in English to us children, but they did speak in Austrian to each other.
So I was really surprised I could understand a lot of what you say. I thought maybe Schwäbisch was a bit like Austrian, but when I played some of the utube clip to mum, she understood less than me. Haha.

[Heidrun]

Hello Rikki,

very interesting... :-)

I don't think that my dialect is too strong to understand.
It is more the intonation, the melody that tells in my videos about my origin.

Schwäbisch, Bavarian, Austrian... that is all related a bit.
And it is based on the German Language.

Kind regards, Heidrun
