bit.ly Stride piano technique is really useful for pianists who are playing quite traditional or mainstream jazz, blues, show music and other stuff from the middle of the twentieth century. It basically involves “striding” between a bass note and a chord, creating rhythm, bass line and harmony all in one. You can also incorporate scale runs, block chords and tremolos to add depth and character. One important thing to remember is not to play chunky left hand chords too far down during the stride sequence – or they’ll sound muddy. Also, stride doesn’t work very well for more modern piano styles (though it’s great for the styles I listed above) and you don’t want to get “trapped” into playing it and no other left hand style!

FROM – W. RANASINGHE Lata Mangeshkar was born in a Maharashtrian family in Sikh Mohalla, Indore, in the State of Madhya Pradesh. Her father, Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar who belonged to a Marathi speaking Kalavant Family from Goa, was a classical singer and theater actor. Her mother Shudhhamati, who was from Thalner, Maharashtra, was Deenanath’s second wife. The family’s last name used to be Hardikar; Deenanath changed it to Mangeshkar in order to identify his family with his native town, Mangeshi in Goa. Lata was named “Hridaya” at her birth. Her parents later renamed her Lata after a female character, Latika, in one of her father’s plays, BhaawBandhan. Lata is the eldest child of her parents. Asha, Hridayanath, Usha, and Meena are her siblings in sequence. Lata took her first music lessons from her father. At the age of five, she started to work as an actress in her father’s musical plays (sangeet naatak in Marathi). Her father’s recitals and lessons left a strong impression on her, as did the songs of KL Saigal, who was her favorite singer and idol. Her formal education was limited to one day in the school. On the first day in the school, she started teaching songs to other children. When the teacher stopped her, she was so angry that she stopped going to the school. Other sources cite that she left school because they would not allow her to bring Asha with her, as she would often bring her younger sister with her.
