Fundamentals of Piano Practice
on: September 12, 2004, 06:26:35 PM
Sorry it took me this long to find you fellows, but one of your members suggested that I joing PF.  Many of you already know me by my web page:

https://members.aol.com/chang8828/contents.htm

Am I allowed to put this URL with my signature below? That might save me some typing, since I am so busy answering emails from all over the world.

Initial quick look indicates that this is a really good forum, but  fragmented into several groups, which makes it difficult to decide which forum to post into, since there is so much overlap.  I might prefer a format in which there is a large general forum with smaller specialized forums.   ::)  After all, RMMP does fine with just one forum.

Welcome to the forum!

Your website comes up in discussion here with a fair degree of regularity.  I can imagine you will be getting lots of questions!

I am one of these people. Thankyou cc!

p.s. Before you now decide to change your name to C.hrist, I hasten to add that I use all bibles the same way: they contain lots of wisdom, but not EVERYTHING has to be taken literally. ;)
p.p.s. do you ever receive carbon-copies of mails? ;D
tell me why I only practice on days I eat

Welcome, Mr. Chang, I'm glad you could join! I found this place and joined last week, myself.

And Liszmaninopin is right - already, I've been seeing your book mentioned in some different threads, so it has at least come into the consideration of many people here.

Thank you again for all of your work thus far...

I thk you.

Probably not, but they LOOK like carbon copies because they mostly say essentially the SAME thing, over and over.  Still, every one counts and really lifts my spirits.  One major problem I am having is that I get many volunteers to translate my book, but then, when they start, they find that they can't -- the subject matter is too broad and complicated.  For example, many statements have numerous qualifications and purposely imprecise descriptions in order to avoid fragrant errors.

And hello! Mark!  Many of the posts I see here are top notch.
