Learning a song and having fun - 05/29/06 06:15 AM
Not for everyone ---, I put in some chord substitutions in the song
“All the things you are”. I wanted to memorize the song so after studying the structure the song I began to play it. The registration in my Kn7 was set to the factory “Tour of the KN7000”, the original settings, and in expanded mode.
As I started to play the song I pressed a registration and the rhythm changes, and so did the instrumentation. I did not realize it was in expanded mode. I played the song through 40 different registrations. Wow what a way to get to learn a song.
What the keyboard taught me;
1-That the song was not limited to the one jazz style I was used to.
2-As the style changed so did my interpretation of the song.
I played the song with a waltz style, Latin, ballad, rock and a fast 2step.
I improvised according to the feel of the style, each one led me to play the song differently.
The results;
1-I know the song well.
2-I found new ways to interpret the song.
3-The keyboard taught me things that I have never thought of, like playing “All the things” you are in a Waltz tempo. aaaaah.
The best part --- I enjoyed the Kn7 for 2 ˝ hours and walked away satisfied, I felt I was creative and there was no repetition
What an enjoyable way to open new doors.
