My forearms literally ache after I play/practice. I gotta think I'm doing something wrong. I'm thinking a teacher could help me. Ragtime takes a Chopin technique. I'm convinced Scott Joplin had a teacher who understood arm weight. _________________________ snobbyish, yet maybe helpful. http://keyboardclass.blogspot.com/

I was just curious as to your post in this thread.... I'm not really clear as to your point...and I'm not being rude here. Are you saying that it is important to have a tutor? I assume from your earlier post that maybe I misunderstood what you were saying. _________________________ Behind every successful woman is some twit who's lost the remote....

And how important to you is playing well? ...for which most would also need a tutor. _________________________ snobbyish, yet maybe helpful. http://keyboardclass.blogspot.com/

koolaws Junior Member Registered: 08/18/09 Posts: 2 Loc: Philippines	For poor guys like me who cannot afford to hire a teacher, I rely on ebooks and video lessons on utube. I found a great free ebook on www.pianoencyclopedia.com. I also have a few 2nd hand books on piano. I is really hard to learn piano without out a teacher. Nobody can identify and correct the weaknesses and strengths of your playing. _________________________ koolaws
