    Practice log question.  I am finding it better if I not directly onto the practice log as I practice.  Is there a way to save this draft without posting it if I have to stop and answer the door like I did today? When I came back my page was gone and when I went back to it, I had to start all over.  If I need to post and edit when I’m done that’s fine, just wondered if I missed a save button. Thanks

    Hi. 
    I joined PWJ a couple of weeks ago. I watched the introductory videos and believe I am around level two… Beginner/intermediate. I also took part in the first session of Go Tell It On the Mountain. .. which I truly enjoyed. 
    I though that would be a good place to begin.

    I have listened to Jonny’s lessons about practice... and think I am on the correct track. 
    First I do technique and theory (Scales, 7th chords & extension),
    Then, the piece I chose to work on: Go Tell It On The Mountain using the live lesson presentation... Lessons 1-8

    My problem or question:🤔
    When I sign on, I get this message in the bottom right hand corner

    “It looks like you have no open course activity. Start a new course today”.   it also says I have not completed any lessons or exercises etc...


    I’m obviously not doing something I should be doing.
    I’m not the most tech-savvy person.


    Any ideas/suggestions? I always feel that I’m starting from scratch and there is no record of my work or progress except in my own mind and notes I take. 


    Thank you, Pete

    Hi Everyone, I am thrilled to be here. My goal is to accompany my blues and jazz singing in performances.

    I am singer-songwriter and I play piano, electric bass and flute. I have performed professionally as a singer in blues, rock and jazz bands. Currently I've been learning home recording and creating a body of work in GarageBand.

    My previous releases are at www.laurecewest.bandcamp.com.

    I make my living as a voice coach for singers and speakers www.laureceweststudios.com and a business consultant www.easilycreative.com.

    Looking forward to supporting each other and getting better together. To your amazing playing!!

    I have finally got my stuff together and am going through the process and have decided to start at the very beginning. So far I am very impressed with your teaching program. I started the beginner program and am going through it and enjoying everything so far. I never did learn to read music but can play things by ear and do have  good timing skills and dexterity. Any way I ma happy with what I am learning  and am actually practicing quite a bit more.

    Hi, Katie -- 

    I just got an email about a Holiday Special, which said 

    For annual members that have signed up in the last 5 months, please contact us if you want to extend your plan.
    This offer lasts until Nov. 30th at 11:59 PST.
     
    I tried clicking on contact us, but didn't seem to get anywhere. Would someone please email  or chat, because I'm probably in that category, having gotten the annual membership in July for $260.88.
     
    What's the new Holiday Special rate, and can I get in on it?
     
    Thanks!
     
    Rich Mansfield
     
    PS -- I've been learning Jonny's Summertime arrangement. Love it.

    Hi!

    Not sure I'm in the right place but looking for comments about headphones for digital piano.. I read some prior comments  that Sennheiser HD599 are good. Has anyone tried Meze  99 Audio Classics?  I currently use Bose that I originally bought for airline travel. I have a Yamaha Clavinova CVP 809 - Also interested in knowing if anybody else out there using a Clavinova CVP that wants to share some knowledge.

    Any thoughts/experience appreciated.

    Student Recital

    Chuck G commented on Katie Rushing's calendar event in Community Calendar

    Hi Katie, I know this is late notice seeing that the program is published already, but since there are still two open slots, would it be possible for me to participate in Tuesday's student recital? I have a song with a track at performance level, and all my video and audio equipment is set. All I need to do is check out the Zoom tutorials and tips and I'll be good to go. Please let me know if it's not too late as soon as you can. Thanks, Chuck
