Looking for style of music without Left Hand(two hand playing) on Keyboard.

I've been playing keyboard for a couple years and have gotton completed frustrated with two hand playing(playing the bass line accompanment as well as the melody in other hand). I started at a late age(22) and I find to a certain degree my brain is re-wiring it's coordination but if If ever have to perform what I play I end up cracking since i have to co-centrate so much(and mind you i'll play it fine alone in my bedroom)....

My main thing is producing my own music, as I mainly use my keyboard / synths to do my own songwriting (industrial, techno, house, r & b, hip hop, film music, video game music), but I have been playing Classical Music to 'challenge' myself and expand my skills and horizons as a keyboardist rather than being an electronic musician whom has no playing skills and only makes music. And it did improve my skills, problem is I still can't see myself performing this in front of anyone cuz I don't do it perfectly, and some of the electronic music I make is exactely that challenging or entertaining to play...

So what I need is.... an idea for a genre of music which doesn't include left hand playing but is still entertaining, fun and not repetitive, something performable, and just something to show off with to my friends. I'm pretty much open to anything as I love ALL music(except country), dance, retro, pop, jazz, 70's rock, salsa, new age, r & b, etc.

I tried playing some instruments such as the bass and guitar lines on some pop songs but quickly got bored since most of 'em are do darn repetitive and too easy....

any ideas would be appreciated?

Buy a Kurzweil Mark 10. It has a great rhythm/accompaniment feature. Play your right hand melodies, one finger changes the left hand harmonies. Also, buy Cakewalk Pro or Sibelius for your computer. They will transcribe what you play.

you play.

Mark, you are so nice to give him some *real* ideas. Very constructive ones. Useful.

And to think, I was just going to suggest: Play the radio. Tune it to a gospel station.

Mark, you became lately very supportive and nice to people (even to Sonarat). Not quite the type who would relentlessly recommend 'get a teacher, master the ineventions and cut the BS'. Very nice. What happened ?

Nostra, Years ago I got a teacher. Then I mastered the Inventions. Only recently have I learned to cut the BS. Hope this helps!

PS: Your syntax sounds very, very familiar to me. I feel like we are old friends.......

Well, he has uni-berlin.de and pop04-1-ras3-p160.barak.net.IL in his path, so you are probably right...

Damn, my hard disc will bust if I have to save more Raduliases

Hi, Bach wrote some partitas for violin that would use one hand on the keyboard if you set the keyboard for strings.

Hi, Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson has composed some one-handed pieces.

He's Canadian? I thought he was from New York.

Basie often times was almost one-handed, or at least the right hand was the essential part of what he played.

Depends on how strong your pinky is, and what sort of reach you have between it and the ring finger.

<< He's Canadian? I thought he was from New York. >>

There's the public education system fer ya.

I'm just kidding you, Adam. I had to look it up myself. I did not realize (or at least remember) that Oscar Peterson was Canadian. 'Oh Canada' indeed.

Basie was a master at the 'unspoken'
