Elssa 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 01/15/05 Posts: 1382 Loc: NY	Does anyone here play Kitten on the Keys by any chance? I'm struggling along trying to learn it, and any advice would be much appreciated $\:\)$ _________________________ MY YOU-TUBE CHANNEL LEARN COCKTAIL PIANO STYLINGS & TECHNIQUES ELSSA'S FORUM: http://LearnPianoWithElssa.com/forum

BDB Yikes! 10000 Post Club Member Registered: 06/07/03 Posts: 18707 Loc: Oakland	Novelty piano, of which Zez Confrey was a practitioner, is meant to be a difficult genre, and Kitten on the Keys is one of his more difficult pieces. You should have a background in ragtime and early jazz when you tackle it. Learn the rhythmic and harmonic structure, and practice, practice, practice. _________________________ Semipro Tech

Elssa 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 01/15/05 Posts: 1382 Loc: NY	I do play a lot of ragtime, boogie, stride, etc., but this novelty stuff is a "different animal", as you say - a reach challenge. Well, I guess to start I shouldn't expect to sound like Claude Bolling, right? $;\)$ Thanks for your reply. $\:\)$ _________________________ MY YOU-TUBE CHANNEL LEARN COCKTAIL PIANO STYLINGS & TECHNIQUES ELSSA'S FORUM: http://LearnPianoWithElssa.com/forum

Sweep88 Full Member Registered: 02/27/05 Posts: 190 Loc: Ohio	ditto BDB.. In all honesty I'd suggest staying away from that stuff. May I suggest Fats Waller? _________________________ I try to live, love and laugh as much as I can every day, because every day may be my last
