May a truly newbie beginner say something here?

I am learning to play the piano, my lesson started sept. of 2007 and the very first key I learned was the key of C.  It was very simple no flats and no sharps it was easy for me to learn the half and whole steps. The melodic & harmonic intervals, the major, minor and tetra chords were easy.  Learning the correct fingering was easy.  The key of A minor was easy to learn.  I learned most of theory that I know in the key of C first than moved to the key of G with one # next the key of F with one b. it was easy for me to learn in this order now I am learning the other keys by adding one # or b to the previous key.  In addition, as I learn a new key I learn each relative minor key.  Therefore, my experience has been that the key of C was the easiest to start with and continue to add on to the other keys .  Now that is my .02 worth.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;  Colossians 3:23

This post is very interesting to me.  When I first started learning how to play I learned Ab first.....but without the key of C i would have been set back a looonnnnnnnggggggg way.  C is all white notes.....so when it came to making my "sweet" chords I was able to SEE the difference when adding a black note.....so it became easier to be able to make my chords in all keys by simply refering back to C.  BTW, I absolutely hate playing in C..dont like the way it sounds or nothin.....but i will kill in it IF necessary lol

I just wonder what's wrong with C.  It almost seems off limits for gospel. I played keys for for over 15 years before I learned to play gospel so I guess I don't have that bias.   ;)

I also started off in C so i see absolutely no issue with playing in C. In fact C is my reference key for any funny chord i come across.

With all the modulations in gospel, wouldn't it make sense to know all those "other" keys as well.  I'm just sayin...   ;D

I've noticed that a lot of Gospel musicians will skip keys so that they can avoid playing in something like C or G etc. I also noticed in some songs that modulate and go into certain keys, that the musician will play a lot simpler in certain keys, and more advanced in other keys. Listen to "The Presence of the Lord is here" by Byron cage and let me know if you hear it too.

gigging with guitar players can be cool.  Oh wait, I don't gig anymore.  You don't even have to know the song and they'll call out the chords to you.  ;D
