[musictlk] piano question

[Linda Mentink]

Yes. What you do is play the melody on top with harmony underneath, 
using all your fingers in the right hand rather than one or two 
simultaneously. I often play the melody in octaves with the rest of 
the chord in the middle, using four fingers at once. It is 
challenging, but will give you a full sound all the way around.

Blessings,

Linda
