I've got a keyboard at home. Actually it's a "family" keyboard.
I dabbled with playing keyboard, but never really got anywhere beyond basic chords.
Well, we primarily use it for my son, as he likes music. I play guitar. So I'm not good at keyboard at all, but I'm trying to find a good way to encourage and/or help him learn.
He learned to play the Tetris theme on it. I want him to improvise, ad-lib, and learn to play more than just the Tetris theme. He knows what it means, but I can't demonstrate because I suck at keyboard. I can't really read much more than basic music, either.
He almost seems to have a natural "ear" for it (since he figured out the Tetris theme I think this).
So aside from paying for "school marm/grandma" piano lessons, how can I help him learn and get better, since I don't play keys myself? Although I suppose I could learn along with him to kind of supplement my guitar playing...
