I came to music over a different long way. As a child we had to play flutes on Cristmas Eve first – in order to get our presents afterwards. This was nice but not when my brother and I got older.<\/p>\n

I still was fascinated in a certain way, especially by a Hammond Organ. I loved the sound so very much. Beeing an Electronic Engineer I decided to build up an electronic organ myself. I even designed it myself by a modification of an organ kit from a german company called „Dr. Boehm“.
\nThat was a success, even my parents played on it i a self-learning manner.<\/p>\n

Later I moved to the city of Berlin having my own flat. Just two rooms, toilet half a stairway down, heating with coal.
\nThe organ did not go with me, so I made another one, with two manuals and about 30 chorus‘ . The problem was still the same: I could not really play it, just childrens tunes.<\/p>\n

So many Notes in the books always distracted me. As in the movie AMADEUS, where the the conductor of the Royal Court said to Mozart: „To many notes in Your play“. Summarizing it, the too many bbbs and ###s where dreadful to learn. No success. There is NOT at all a connection to Mozart but I liked the words from the movie. My opinion was: This stuff is not intelligible at all.<\/p>\n

Apart from very primitive musik – no success. Then a piano from my mother in love came to my house. Beeing an opera singer she practised her singing having Rudi playing the tunes for her performance training.<\/p>\n

I felt guilty whenever I saw the two instruments – not beeing able to use them properly. At that time I received an recommendation by a young lady to try Duncans Seminar which was held just this weekend in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Duncan Lorien is something like an „Enfant Terrible“ — No hold on: He is an gifted didactical master in the area of music. He lights the fire in men and women who love music. Together with the organizer Bernd we learned on a single weekend. Alexander was translating the english words into german simultaneously.<\/p>\n
