Daisy Ash has been playing piano/keyboards
her whole life.  She owns a Yamaha DX7IIFD
and has access to Roland keyboards too.  Daisy
plays mostly by ear or with chord charts but
can read music as well.  Her specialty is rich
chords.  She can improvise, transpose, and
solo.  Daisy took six years of piano lessons
which included classical, jazz, contemporary,
reading, and ear training.  She has played in
various bands including
 Category Five, The
O.T. Dirt Band, Diamond Daze, and
Letters
from Home (formerly the Piranha Brothers).  
Daisy is familiar with the pop music of many
eras, especially the mid-to-late seventies.

Daisy is a singer who specializes in harmony.  
She has a great ear and is an unobtrusive but
effective background vocalist.  She can find
harmonies that are not in an original recording
but enrich a sound geometrically.  She can also
sing lead if necessary, in the alto or contralto
range.  She was once hired to compose new
lyrics to a popular song and perform it as a sort
of “singing telegram” for a gentleman who
wanted to propose to his girlfriend.

Daisy loves to arrange music most
of all.  In every band in which she
plays, she solidly contributes to
the arrangements of the songs
performed.  Also, she can study a
recording and transcribe each part
for the different musicians in a
band.  She uses the Cakewalk
Home Studio/Sonar program to
transcribe parts.  Daisy’s
understanding of music theory
helps insure that each part works
with the next.
