I want to be a competent musician (particularly on the piano) and singer. Unfortunately I have no real aptitude for either. But I'm not going to take this lying down!
We all start out possessing some aptitudes and lacking others, but most of those we lack, we can make up for - with the right teacher, materials, and incentives. I just never found these for music - and I think that's because a lot of what's available isn't very good.
However there's now so much out there on the web that I figure with a bit of persistence even I can use the best of it to acquire a basic level of musicianship. Being a skinflint though, I'm determined to only use free materials!

And though I'm doing this principally for my own interest and motivation, who knows, I might in some small way make things easier for someone else. Hence this blog.
