    Hi, I'm new here - still not sure where to start with the courses.....

    I'm from Vienna / Austria and a hobby - musician. I play the e-bass and a bit guitar. (all of that definitely not on a professional level) I started to play piano again roughly 7 years ago. Originally I got lessons from the age of 7 to 11.

    Due to my job, I have not that much time to practice. 🙁.

    Hi—

    I’m Mardi and I haven’t played the piano in about 66 years.  I’ve been playing the fiddle until recently and because of some issues with my health (arthritis and Parkinson’s) I’ve decided to return to the piano and try my hand at playing the blues.  I happened on Jonny’s blues challenge and think that he’s a great teacher so I decided to try his lessons.

    One of the most appealing aspects of his approach is the effort he makes to have his students become members of a piano playing community.  So I am joining this community in the hope that it will provide inspiration and support as well as a chance to contribute something of my own to others.

    My mind isn't old just my body.

    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
