Hi,

This may sound funny to you but I've been playing, arranging and gigging for years now.. Being a self learnt player, I knew little about music theory and basics until now that I feel the need to learn the right way, get my grades done.

I just wanted to be guided in the right direction in terms of books, exercises and techniques I should use. Due to financial constraints, I've booked a Clavinova CLP-440 instead of an upright acoustic that's arriving tomorrow..

Cheers,
Gaggy
