If you are a midi player one way to make it sound good is to run it through an electronic
keyboard.  If you are playing it from a computer you will need an MIDI USB cable
connecting from the computer to the keyboard. I would recommend using Cake Walk to play the midi.
You could control the playing from this software.
Also, Check out these Lao marlum midi files – they are fmarlum lovers. Great
way to learn how to play Lao marlum styles.

I think we spend too much money on getting a Lao keyboard instrument.  An average people spend anywhere from $700-$1000  on it just because it’s their passion. Here is the deal, if you want a keyboard and you are just using it to entertain your friends at home.I would suggest going for an older model because you will save so much money.

The first thing I would do is go on Ebay and do a search for the keyboard by typing in the name for example “Yamaha PSR 520″ you will be amazed at the price.  And learn how to load the styles yourself.  This will save you even more. I got my first Yamaha from Ebay for $100 and it was great!

Good luck in finding your next keyboard!

First, learn how to play the chords. You could download the keyboard chord chart from this post and start practice playing them. I would suggest you start out with learning these chords first – Dm F Gm Am C Bb – When you learn these five chords you could play just about all Lao country songs out there because with the keyboard you could use the transpose button for scaling the notes.

Second, learn the melody. For me I used a program call Vanbaso. I just load in the midi file of a song that I want to learn. Mute all the channels except for the melody and a play along with it. And if I want to get the chords for the song I would mute all the channels except for the guitar chord. You could also lower the tempo if it is too fast for you. Pretty cool program to get the chord and the melody part.

If you are not a visual person then I would suggest this program Midi2Notation. Just get the player version it is free! With this program you could print out the melody part of a song or just the guitar chord. Check it out!

The key here is to learn the chord of a song, the melody and then bringing them together. Have fun!

Download these programs, a free midi and test them out. This is how I learn! If you like to share with us how you learn your keyboard lessons please post it here.
