relearning the piano
Got home a little while ago from week 1 of Emu Music’s contemporary piano for church course. It was quite awesome! I went not really knowing what to expect, but found it to be quite awesome. As I was driving home, I was thinking that this is going to be really hard, and require a lot of work… but you know, that’s a great thing. It’s going to bring me out of some musical theory complacency that I’m in at the moment, and make me really think about what I’m playing in church, and not just play it as I know it.
What was cool was that it was held at the Emu Studios in Annandale. Those studio’s used to be called Trafalgar Studios, and was where some very awesome bands recorded music - one of them being Cold Chisel (Khe Sanh was recorded there!). More recently, Revive recorded their most recent album there.
I have never seen inside a recording studio before, so it was quite awesome. It’s a very small studio really, but looks fantastic. And Emu don’t have a big mixing desk or anything… just a beautiful Mac G5 with Pro Tools :) *sigh*
