A really soothing piece. I can imaging getting warm just listening to the notes. Don't know about classes. I don't own a keyboard so that will have wait. However, I like the angle to watch your playstyle.

No lessons ? Oh... :D

Anyway, you rock on that mandolin and maracas, so no need to an additional instrument :)

Hey, the piano lessons would be great. But I can't practice so it wouldn't work :P

I needed those back when I used to go as choir conductor. I certainly was a mess trying to get rehearsals with a piano.

Ay, ay 😁

But as a conductor, you needed to play difficult accompaniment part? The choir conductor here for example doesn't play. When the singers warm up they warm up acapella, with his given intonation. And when they already practise the songs, his wife plays the piano part.

Sometimes when she sings as well as there are no enough members now coming to rehearsal (cov.reason) then they ask me to come and play.

You don't conduct anymore?

I did give notes to the voices one at a time. It was slow but I managed. Most of the repertoire was acapella but some other things needed rhythmical harmony so a cuatro did the trick. I don't do it anymore because I got onto jobs and traveled and also because choirs don't have any kind of support from the orchestra, so there's not a lot to do. Also the University was ransacked and that was the end of the University's choir. At some point, I was going to be given a choir in some school and that never happened. Thus I slowly stepped away from my duties in the choirs.

Oh, that is a pity there is no support for choirs. And that you have never be given the school choir. Although, children are amazing but in schools, not every child is interested in singing...so maybe it is better for you! Now you only have to conduct your twins when recording a music video 😁

Ha, ha, ha. I leave that part to the metronome. Well, I wasn't exactly jumping on one foot over the idea of conducting a choir of children.
