while it’s true that you CAN learn with JUST free internet lessons, with private lessons you will ALWAYS get better quicker, provided that you have a good teacher.

The Corpus Collosum …
The Corpus Collosum is the wiring between the left and right hemispheres of our brain. We have the capacity to create algorithms that ‘teach’ us to react independently between lobes. Try this: take a piece of paper and a pencil or pen. place the paper just outside of your view, but positioned so that you can draw. Now look at an object and draw it. You will feel the pull(or desire) to look at your work, but DON’T. That ‘pull’ is your dual brain. One side works, while the other critiques.Cool?

I wasnt saying that it has to be, I’m saying you should have mentioned that the 9th is also the second.

piano9899 September 24, 2009 at 9:53 pm

Hi EliKilby – …
Hi EliKilby – Thanks for your comment. Actually, the 9th doesn’t have to be positioned in any particular order in the chord stack. Typically it is, but when a chord is “voiced”, it can be played in absolutely any location. The qualifier that makes it the 9th (instead of the 2nd) is that the 7th is present. Best – David Sprunger
