My Testimony

"I have met over 700 buddies...

...And created Camp Grandma where over 400 musicians have joined and relationships continue to grow!" Hi, I'm LadyD... I was surfing the web one day and found Jermaine Grigg's website. I have enjoyed playing the piano since I was 8 years old! I read notes well and play keyboard on the worship team at my church. I have always longed to play without sheet music and to learn what it means to play by ear! I became a zone member in March of 2006. Since then, I've met over 700 buddies who share music tips, music files and songs they're working on. I started a group called Camp Grandma, a family atmosphere where over 400 musicians have joined and relationships continue to grow! I purchased the 300 page course book and enjoyed the theory immensely. Learning how to harmonize the melody and the basics in Gospel Keys101 increased my understanding greatly. Gospel Keys 202 & 300, with worship and praise songs, is a must to becoming a better musician for your church worship team. Playing music by ear is a very enjoyable experience for me and a dream come true! -LadyD http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/LadyD

Ballade Pour Adeline

I have always loved this song and the sound of the 6th interval. The Composer of Ballade Pour Adeline is Paul De Senneville. For those who read notes, I have posted them.
Enjoy the videos! (Richard Clayderman)

My First Ezine Article

I was so excited the day I found out that my article: "Can You Harmonize The Melody?" had been accepted and added to the EzineArticles.com directory.

Upon viewing my article, I had discovered that I was about to embark upon a new journey of HTML codes and typing drafts in Microsoft Word. So, this is my way of making the latter half of my first article make sense.
Determine chords to be used and analyze the melody notes. Follow chart to see which chord is used with each melody note of a major scale. Play these notes all at the same time: (melody note is on top)

C E + G + C
D F + A + D
E G + C + E
F A + C + F
G C + E + G
A C + F + A
B D + G + B
C E + G + C

Mary Had A Little Lamb

G+C+E (Ma)

F+A+D (ry)

E+G+C (had)

F+A+D (a)

G+C+E (lit)

G+C+E (tle)

G+C+E (lamb)

Welcome To Piano Diana!

This is my story:

I started taking piano music lessons when I was 8. I loved it so much that I decided when I grew up that one day I would like to be a piano instructor. I've been doing this now for over 10 years. I teach piano lessons for adults, for beginners and for children. I also have had some wonderful experiences playing with various worship teams for over 30 years. I have 2 keyboards. One is a Yamaha DGX-220 and the other is a Yamaha Motif ES8. I like the rhodes sound on Rolands and Korgs. But I absolutley love my motiffff! I love all music, especially jazz, blues, gospel, worship and Christmas music. In this video, I am playing my old upright piano that my Mom bought me to start out with. It's 110 years old and still working with not one broken string! Have fun learning the piano! ~ LadyD
