Hello musicians!
After many years of regret for not learning any musical instrument I decided to learn to play keyboard.
So, one month ago, I bought CASIO CTK 4400 which I got information that it's good for beginners as it has touch sensitive keys.
I've learned notes, sheet reading (although still find some new marks from time to time), major chords, minor chords, augmented chords, diminished chords, SUS 2, SUS 4, and am still learning scales and chord progressions. I am only starting to grasp Circle of fifths/fourths..
What I am interested is the following: can you give me some tips for both hands usage? It has become boring using only one or two notes for bass (left hand) and I am still not good for harder pieces. :) Feel like I miss some crucial exercises or techniques to help me with this. I do not have a teacher, I learn by videos, tutorials and by trial and error, to some degree.
Besides playing and with time, I would also like to learn some basics of music composition so am also interested in music theory.
Btw, I am also learning a little bit how to play drums, although this happens once or twice a week, as I do not have them, but my friend does. Somehow think this helps me with rhythm knowledge for my keyboard playing.
Please feel free to give tips to anything you think is important, not just related to my question.
Thank you!
