Piano

I found a killer deal on a refurbished Yamaha digital piano. Since I did not yet declare a resolution for 2008, I combined some retail therapy with what /sounds/ like a wonderful declaration. That is that I need to learn to play a musical instrument again.

The piano I purchased is a fully weighted hammer action 88-key keyboard by the name of DGX620.

If anyone has any advice on where to start, let me know. I played Piano somewhat proficiently as a child, but I have not touched one in nearly 20 years. It was a toss up between Piano and some sort of reed instrument, since I can play both, and a Violin - because I love the way they sound. The keyboard made the most sense. With the voice support I can pretty much synthesize any instrument on the planet. Some take to synthesis better than others, but you get my point. I can also play the keyboard with headphones so Sandy isn't forced to suffer with me during the first few weeks.

Wish me luck.

(My other resolution ended up being to learn French)
