Hello..My name is Elaine (Motekmusic).
A Minneapolis,
Minnesota (USA) native, currently residing in Copenhagen, Denmark since 1987
with my very
supportive and encouraging husband Raphael. It
is our second marriage and we have 6 grandchildren in all , who are pretty much
all spread out. At the age of 8, I was presented with a gift from
my grandma. A glorious Baldwin blond mahogany Acrosonic, which is still with
me.
After about 3 years of general lessons, I was
accepted into Adult Fake courses, from a cocktail lounge piano player, who
basically taught how to improvise and arrange music (lead sheets) by
learning chords. He also gave organ lessons, so tried that also and found that
quite fascinating. Much later in the mid 80*s.. I acquired the old
Yamaha clapboard style electronic keyboard as was traveling and did not have
access to a piano. My interest continued to be perked by the "new"
models and decided to go out and look for one. Well, in early 90's,, I walked
into a musicstore and was blown away by a 530 keyboard, couldn't leave
without it, so put down a payment and walked out with it. Big surprise at
home.
From then on, was basically hooked into the sounds,
styles,, etc. of what a keyboard could provide. I also acquired a Technics
UB60 organ, but that was dispatched a few years ago.
I have
played semi-professionally at parties, senior homes and Gym Classes. Am now a
proud owner of the s910, the Tyros 3 and the psr640 (in the
corner) 'Just sold that 1st 530 to a promising keyboard player.'
