Members pink floyd cramer Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 I don't think someone's "feel" is set in stone when they are only about 10 yrs old (and probably only exposed to classical). She has plenty of time to get soul, feel, swing, all that good stuff. It would help if she moved to Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Outkaster Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yeah, hormones. Give her a chance to turn teen and feel some blues first. Why I myself was a classical nerd until I turned 14, but see how I turned out! I don't know about that. I used to see people in Eastman school watching our Gospel class. Kids from Korean and Japan that could play some really hard {censored} classically speaking. Conservatory based musicians just do different things, not bad or anything it is just a different thing. I was talking to the horn players in my band about it Sat night. They have a lot of students that are like that in the high schools they teach at. When I saw that video above I could tell immediatley something was not quite right by looking at her hands and her approach to the keyboard. Sorry you guys don't agree I just call it like I see it.

Members soundwave106 Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 I remember seeing this. My first wonder was how much of this was her work and how much was her parents. Arranger keyboards can do a lot of prep-work. From what I can tell she was doing a good job, pretty advanced for that age, but grainy Youtube videos are a poor judge of that.

All I'm saying is that a classical background does not preclude you from developing feel. A great deal of classically trained musicians can never make the leap, but others can. The fact that she is even interested in that type of music is a hopeful sign for her. There is no way to know at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pink floyd cramer Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yeah Outkaster, why go around categorizing musicians? I don't think its that cut-and-dried. As a music major I saw that some of the most talented and accomplished classical players could play by ear, could improv, swing, etc. I for one don't think my music education (half-assed though it might be) has kept me from having a decent "feel". Its a gas watching that little girl rock out on "Wayward Son" in a formal recital, IMO. Could it be we're over-analyzing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Outkaster Posted January 29, 2008 Members Share Posted January 29, 2008 No I call it as I see it. Music education did not keep me from having a good feel. You never loose it but it is not something that can be learned. I have been playing long enough to see certain stuff. I know at a young age I was not conservatory material because I was taught by a philarmonic pianist. He did not want to be mean but said I could still be a good musician in my own right and not have to be a 16 year old genious to be groomed to play in conservatory type places. I don't think certain {censored} in music can be learned. All I am saying is I was not that impressed by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members O.K. Johnson Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 I liked it. It was refreshing to see somebody using two hands and both feet. And...suit and tie guy, thanks for the link to Virgil. That man could play not only with impeccable technique, but style and soul. Only got a chance to see him play live once but it's something I'll never forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stikygum Posted February 3, 2008 Members Share Posted February 3, 2008 I can't believe anyone would knock this girl. Holy mackerel, pompous people is right for this thread's posters. I'm just wondering, did she set up the drums in that machine and set up the whole song. I dang impressive to do what she did, but even more so if she set it up. Someone probably helped with sequencing the drums, but it doesn't affect the fact she's a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
