I teach music : piano, guitar, and singing. My teaching website is http://www.gopherp.com/MusicLessons.htmLately, I've been performing mostly on a ukulele, both acoustically, and plugged into an amp. I've recently started to teach that as well.For 20 years, I've worked, at various times, as an actor, musician, and writer in film, tv, and theatre. If you're curious about film credits, you can see a partial list at:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0740104/I love music. I couldn't live without it. I've been playing music for many years. When I started this channel, I was quite technologically limited in what I could do. I've been working on that and I'm quite happy with the results.I just started to learn how to make multi-track, multi-view videos. I'm currently working my way through Final Cut Express. It's opening up a whole new world for me. I wish I had Youtube around when I first started out in the arts. It's a perfect canvas for self-expression (if you can manage the technology and the legal minefield). Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ronin-Wong/210508260522?ref=tsTwitter:http://twitter.com/MusicMonsterWSo, this channel represents a second beginning for me in music. Despite pulling many of my hairs out over computer crashes, it's still more fun than the first time around. It's largely the comments and support of the lovely people I've interacted with here that make it so. :-)

This is an original blues improvisation I recorded last Sunday evening, July 18. It starts out as a mid-tempo blues but gradually goes nuts. Hope you enjoy it! I did it to test out ways of recording my keyboard, a Roland HP 1500. I found it very tricky. The piano kept overpowering my shotgun mic....
