- Watching BBC The Piano
- a local choir director KB who seems able to improvise anything
- Playing the songs I sing.
Then, when a choir member gave me details of a local piano teacher, I contacted her. I've had a couple of lessons and improved some scales and playing the first 30 bars of "Farewell to Stromness". I'll play during the summer while I have so little OU tutoring and marking to do, and should make some progress. I wonder if playing the piano could make me as happy as singing does.
