What music are you listening to? I’m learning the keyboards, so that’s what I’m listening to, and the rest of my household. I played the piano for years, but we don’t have one anymore. People told me once you switch to the keyboards, you won’t go back, and it’s true. I play jazz and swing, like ‘I’ve got rhythm’.
