  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Private lessons?

'll guess I'll start about me. I played keyboard and baritone through middle school and high school for 8 years. I took private lesson for the keyboard for at least 8 years from the classical style and did both symphonic and marching band. In my freshman and sophomore years through college, I was just too busy to do anything and stopped playing. In my Junior year, I decided to go out and actually buy a new keyboard, and I've been just messing around chords and playing by ear. In my senor year I picked guitar and just been messing around with it.

I tried to take lesson again in my junior year, but the teacher only taught me techniques on classical piano. I specifically told her, I want to learn to play by ear and chords. I wasn't against classical at all, but I just didn't have fun with it. I took a music theory class and liked it. Now I'm about a year out of college. One of my friend just introduced me to speech level singing, and I've been messing around that with scales vocal wise. I've also done a little relative and absolute pitch training.

I want to get better though I don't want the complete stress behind of it. Music is kind of my little sanctuary. I'm taking classes and working in the field of engineering and quite busy sometime. I figure the best way to get better is private lessons, but I don't know what to do look for.

I still play around with my guitar, keyboard, and some vocals pretty every night. I have limited time and energy to spend on it. What kind of lessons of some kind but don't know what to look for.
