Hi everyone,

Here is Part 1 of a lesson that I'm doing on spicing up intros. Enjoy!

Posting this for Mike Pinto. It's my first arrangement of a Sci-Fi tune!

I'm writing out variations on a Japanese Folk song for a student with Finale PrintMusic 2010. Problem: the notes I enter via midi appear in the treble staff only (of the double piano staff), while I'd like to split/divide the notes between bass- & treble staff in a way to show what's supposed to be played with the left & right hand (bass clef for left, treble for right).
I'm aware of the possibility of splitting through Hyperscribe, but that would only split at a certain point...

A reminder about our great upcoming workshop at the Peter Dee Academy in Limerick this coming July runs fro 19 to 24th with a performance at our Jazz club on Sun 24th at 9pm. Anyone who would like to participate should contact Tony or myself either through the site or my email jonndal@gmail.com. And of course you all get to experience our Irish hospitality and Guinness!!

Here Etude N°3. A little bit distortion on accentuated notes, I still didn't find the right setting or place in my music room for my Zoom Q3, but the work goes on... ! :o)

This a free improvisation at the Paris Conservatory during a workshop by David Friedman and Peter Weniger on the art of duo playing. It was filmed on an Iphone by Patrick Moutal, professor of Indian music.
