good morning everyone
i am oscar
in life I work mainly as a professional technician, I studied music when I was little when they put a sax in my hands and made me absorb the "good stuff" through IV drips and blows to the head; the teacher had given me the nickname O-scarso [O-mediocre], after a long and troubled agony they finally let me into the collective, "a village band" poorly assorted consisting of 55 members of whom you couldn't have asked to sight-read a triplet because they would have given you the recipe for "Ricciola with potatoes".
I played the Saxophone with this "Battleship Potemkin" until the age of 18, then I went to university, burning every bridge to the past.
ave I had forgotten played music, save for the guitar jamming on the beach with friends and live concerts.
Returning to the sad little village, after exhausting and inconclusive days where I saw even the beautiful notions learned at university fading away, I thought of spending my after-dinner evenings dusting off an acoustic guitar that I had jealously preserved, placing my fingers on the keyboard "as God commanded", since the goal was and would be to reset the brain from the frustrations of the day passed. So! between a group of sixteenth notes and a triplet, I slowly return in my mind to the sight-reading so hated in the past; the sounds became clean and crystalline as time passed over the tedious exercises that had now become a mantra. I began to discover the relationship between sounds, interval distances, the geometry of the keyboard, scales, modes, and although I am not a great performer since only 5 years and a daughter in the middle have passed from that moment until today, today I can articulate a discourse that is already understandable on a harmonic framework that I can finally Comprehend.
Today I have reached a standstill, because self-taught adventures are paced by periods in which you must find the direction to take, and so I found you talking about modes and the conceptual difference between tonal and modal.
even if I am not a pianist, I hope to settle in well, and to be welcomed nonetheless

P.s. I am self-taught because in the surrounding area I did not find a teacher who satisfied my expectations, so at this point, long live the internet.
