 RE: Tone and technique

I think tone and technique and musicianship and expression and all these things are one. If you listen to yourself, just simply listen with a clear mind, things will come together. I would encourage you to learn by ear some of your favorite melodies. If you know some major scales you can play Somewhere Over the Rainbow in all of them. This piece is good for understanding intervals, and fits right in your ear. I was surprised to find how much this exercise built up my playing. I really found a new pleasure in playing. Finding a good teacher is tough, in my opinion, but important, like Debbie said, in avoiding the formation of bad habbits.

Good luck and don't lose sight of the joy of a melody!

PS: I got so hooked on this I started singing Karaoke with my friends. Then even alone! Now I Karaoke in the morning, sometimes during work...
