I am Aries, yes...and my birthday is on the 4th of April, so a day before yours, ladymacbeth...

I think the piano is a wonderful instrument, just like the voice.

I got my keyboard last night and have been sat at it playing random tunes all day...it is awesome! i love it! I cant wait until i am able to play professional, i really cant! Maybe you could give me some pointers some time.

I too have recently began exercises...mainly to bulk up a little as i am very thin and it will help me feel more confident about myself too which will help with my music.

I gather 2 octaves is a good starting range then...i didnt know anything about octaves until i began lessons, and she told me i have a 2 octave range and said that its really good...and i was like "is it, i wouldnt know" lol...

So did you play publicly often then, ladymacbeth...?
