Piano Lessons and other things

I decided to upgrade my piano playing. Well since I am taking singing lessons, I cannot afford to take piano lessons so decided to do it on my own. Except that now my hand spread is not wide enough especially when trying jazz. You know, those seven chord notes.

Then there is keeping the piano in good condition. The humidity has to be right. You have to get it tuned, in some places you can get away with one year, others you have to get it down twice a year, and some places are so bad, it seems they have to have a piano tuner around all the time. Apparently here in Manitoba, you can get off with twice a year to once a year.  So have catching up to do.

Oh and the Hanon Exercises are very good and a must for classical piano playing.
That is all for now.
