The trick to getting the hands working independently, and still together (they do their independent things at the right times relative to each other) is to practice really slowly when you first combine your hands for each of the lessons. It is the fastest way to playing together at full tempo.

There is no prescribed method. You do what is best for you. My thoughts, though far from Expert, are: 1- Start with Boot Camp, as you have already done. 2- When courses open, have a look at them, if they look interesting, take a break from the Boot Camp and work on the Course. They open, generally, ...

I don't know if you can add files to the Clavinova pianos. Some of the lower end pianos have 5 slots for your songs.

It's a weir...

I've only been on for a few weeks or so and have only noticed a few annoying things so far that I have worked through. The software crashes if you have another program open that is using the midi. There should be an error message that states another program is using it. Not a big deal once you disc...

oh - and Wetsman77 - nice avatar icon.

Don't feel useless Westman77. It takes time and practice. It is easy for people to forget that. The only person you are racing is yourself, and even that isn't necessary. You do want to push yourself to do something you haven't be able to before, but you don't have to be able to immediately. So, one...
