abc123 Member Registered: 07/12/02 Posts: 81 Loc: -	Hello, Im seeking advice on building musical abilites like mozart or those famous guys. I was thinking of starting to play the piano(i know they say you gotta start young but that doesnt bother me) and i do have the Genius code with me, annd i was wondering if the Genius code could help me become like one of them. Or if it cant, could anyone give me a book on which i could improve my musical abilites? Thanks alot.

He recommends doing the BG exersise followed by actually trying the skill you want to produce, then do more BG, then 5-10 minutes of more physical activity on the instrument. After about 90 minutes of doing this something inside you just flips over towards mastery. I've tried this with martial arts training with great success.

Music theory will help you build chords, harmonies, melodies and stuff that will help you understand the music instead of mindlessly following what is written on the page.
