[musictlk] Piano/keyboard playing tips

[Louise May Fami]

Hi Sandra,

I guess you're right. I enjoyed our last rehearsal and I think when I'm already use to doing this, I will be able to enjoy playing without thinking about how to do stuff.

Thanks and wellcome to the list

 Hello  Joshua,
 I've been on this list for a while but I guess I haven't
 said very
 much. Thanks for the welcome.
 
 May, perhapsyou need to have more fun with your band
 members. I
 remember when I was in a similar group and improvising,
 sensing what
 the others were going to do before they did it, kept things
 exciting!
 
 Very best wishes,
 Sandra.
