Hi Gail,

I'm glad you like the you tube links and gives you ideas about these different genres.  It's quite a leap from Classical too but a very rewarding one. There are a lot of Classical pianists here freeing themselves from the music and opening new doors.

I have to confess, this is the first month that I have struggled to fulfill any posts and progress in this member challenge. Also, there has been a small uptake this month which is unusual. Last month was Cantaloupe Island which loads of people joined in and others really loved listening to the posts and how we all developed through each weeks progress.

This is not an easy challenge due to frequent chord changes applying to a bossa, but certainly is possible. I look to post once currently on this as I am unusually behind in starting this. No excuse, but we've had a socially better month and holidays have started..

If you need anything or help or chats, happy to help, discuss.

With thanks 😁🎹
