Sing without accompaniment.  I do that all the time.  I can't memorize all
the verses each week and I'm not about to try.

Hello,

My wife got a job for a local Catholic church. She has to both play the
piano and sing. But, it's a lot to memorize every week. She's fine with the
piano part since she just does the basic chords and improvises, but the
lyrics are hard for her to memorize each week, and stressful as well.

Any recommendations for what she might be able to do that would make this
easier, or some alternative? She has a braille note, but her hands are busy
playing the piano so not much time to flip to the next line.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Brandon

I've had a few situations like that.  She might be able to play chords along
with some runs or notes with the right hand, while reading the Braille words
with the left hand while she sings.
Just a thought,
Anne
