Online resources!

have been going thru music instructional videos, listening to some piano music on this website

http://www.baypianist.com/

by a talented pianist Alan, tt plays in US (i think) for functions, cocktail events! his piano styles has a lot of classy feel in it... there is a lot of rhythmic 'space' in between his melodies... thus allowing ppl to easily feel relaxed listening to it..

piano music was an indispensable component which aid me during exams prep in apr... haha wondered if it made me too relax~

looking music instructional videos?

guitar
http://www.fenderplayersclub.com/woodshed/lessons_by_style/lessons_by_style.htm
some very clear explanations about theory... if u cant be bothered with theory like me... can jump into listening to the audio examples and videos...
although they only give a glimpse of their respective books... i think the introduction can really set ppl in the right directions.... otherwise, u may end up like me playing for many years on guitar but still havent grasp the fundamentals well.... forming bad habits...

piano

i tried searching ard for "piano lessons", piano techniques".... usually contains only v basic stuff and not in the right chinese pop music styles tt i wan to learn....

oh another website is
http://www.playpianotoday.com
quite inspirational and makes everything seem like easy.... concept of playing piano by mastering rhythmic patterns is unprecedented!

after looking ard.... i guess the take away for today is....

its all about practicing in the right direction!
