About a year and a half ago when I started my private lessons, Dave and I had weekly "arguments" due to the fact that he wanted me to stop thinking in terms of "do re mi" and start thinking in terms of "c d e". I learned piano with do re mi...But I must say, I have given in to him and after all this time I can almost think freely in the "c d e" mode. Now last week at my lesson he switches on me and now HE wants me to start thinking in terms of "1 2 3" and stop thinking in terms of "c d e".....When will this all end???? What's next??? What other code is there???? Will we be using a computer lingo???? AYYYYYYYY!!!!!

No computers. Ken Perlman (BNL) suggested it is no accident that calculations using the circle of fifths can be done using the fingers of one hand.

Ken Perlman???? Is he in our class???

Sylvia, this could almost be classified as neurotic whining....

What do you mean "almost"?

Next it going to be "I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and VII" Because we are "Nashville Cats" ya know
