Dear Mihai
I understand and sympathise wholeheartedly with the problems you are outlining. Basically, there is a whole world of keyboard harmony out there that you need to nourish your inner musical awareness with. There is also a gradual build-up in awareness of finger patterns and chord progressions that you need to practice via guidance from a good musicianship teacher. This kind of work is essential, but with technique and interpretation always obviously essential in piano lesson time, there often is just not enough time for teachers to help students here. If you find it difficult to study separately from your piano studies with a musicianship tutor, then there are all kinds of books on the market that you can study to help. The course that I always recommend is quite old now, and was published by Forsyths in Manchester where I live by Dorothy Pilling: 'Harmonisation of melodies at the keyboard' in three volumes. As well as this, I recommend transposing all of the Hanon exercises in time into every major and minor jey, and using the 'transposing chart' that comes in the middle of Oscar Beringer's 'Daily technical exercises' to gain awareness of this sort of basic musical grammar. Good luck with your studies.
Murray McLachlan
