Thank you for this excellent community has a newcomer to a keyboard can anybody advise the the best styles for Never Enough, a Million Dreams,From now on and lastly I dreamed a dream thank you everyone.

[EileenL]

I usually listen to these songs on You Tune and then select the keyboard style that sounds nearest to it.

[Phil100956]

Thank you Eileen the problem I have is with being new to the keyboard non of the styles seem to sound like what I am trying to play along to so get frustrated.

[EileenL]

Epic Ballad in Easy listening goes well for I dreamed a Dream.

[Phil100956]

Thank you Eileen very much appreciated.

[EileenL]

Try Animation Ballad for Million Dreams but perhaps mute some of the tracks. You can hear Elaine playing it on the performers page.

[Phil100956]

Thank you Eileen I shall view it .

channels muted.   Would like to work on the other songs from the show,, Never Enough and This is Me..  Hope this helps

As a general method to find a style that works for a particular song -
- select a possible style
- Tap the tempo you want to play this song and start the style
- hum a few bars while playing the chord changes
- without stopping the style select a different style and repeat
Using this method you can audition a bunch of possible styles side by side in a minute or two and find the one you like best. With experience you will learn to narrow down style candidates so you don’t have to try too many

Remember there is also the 'style recommender' function. It's a bit limited, and only works on preset styles, but is sometimes useful to find a style with a particular beat.

[Phil100956]

Whereabouts is that function found please thank you.

[EileenL]

The Style recommend is on Tyros 5. Genos dose not have it.

[DerekA]

Sorry, I didn't realise this was removed on Genos.
