Re: Am I the only one who is having a heart attack at rookie session 8?!

Hi David, As feedback, I really appreciate the extra lessons in the "Reading Music - Staff Notation (Rookie)" Course. There are a lot of hours of lessons there, and I'm alternating between the bootcamp lessons and this course, that is, I do the bootcamp lessons and then the course lessons that are a...

Re: Am I the only one who is having a heart attack at rookie session 8?!

I've just started Playground Sessions and am at the same stage as you, I get the theory but the fingers don't yet know which keys to press when looking at the staff. I just unlocked the "Reading Music - Staff Notation (Rookie)" Course and have started doing that, it is a lot more practice on being a...

Re: Hello from the Blue Mountains in Australia

Thanks John, I had a look at the mixers you referenced plus a few others as well, but for simplicity I will probably settle for a dual input PC speaker set. While the ones I looked at cannot adjust individual input levels, they do mix the audio, and in reality the input volumes can be adjusted separ...

Re: Hello from the Blue Mountains in Australia

Thanks Andrew and JBS. I must admit I bought Piano Discovery by Jump Music in the late 1990s for my children to learn piano on a Technics keyboard, but they never persisted with it. I also tried it while setting it up for my children, but didn't get past the first few lessons due to time constraints...

Hi All, I was given an upright piano that was a family heirloom, but at 58 years old I have never played music. I started researching how best to learn the piano, and Playground Sessions got some great writeups, but doesn't work with an acoustic piano. To cut a long story short, I purchased a Roland...
