Eynsham Red Dec 2021 4:56pm, 28 Dec 2021 8,347 posts	0 Eynsham Red I’ve just started to learn to play the bass guitar. My daughter has one which she’d not used for ages, and my wife suggested that I might borrow it to learn, as apparently I often hum along to the bass line on a tune when played on the radio. I’ve got an 8 week course book to get me started. I’m very used to standard electric and acoustic guitars, but the fret spacing and neck length will need a good deal of practise to adjust to. It’s a nice light instrument so hopefully won’t cause me any back problems. Nice to have a new challenge.

Lizzie Whizz Dec 2021 7:11pm, 28 Dec 2021 25,973 posts	0 Lizzie Whizz I had fun playing the melody line of Kate Rusby Christmas songs on the piano yesterday: listened to get the first note, then fiddled around. She sings in some tricky keys! T10 passed his Grade 1 Cornet and enjoyed performing I need to think up some music playlists for him to listen to.
Alice Navidad Dec 2021 7:48pm, 28 Dec 2021 9,202 posts	0 Alice Navidad A query that maybe someone on here can help with! I play with a symphonic windband and am thinking about digitalising my many pieces of sheet music and using my iPad for rehearsals. At the moment, music is sent out via OneDrive which I download and print off. Do I need an app to store music or will DropBox do? Would a pedal page turner work with DropBox? Any help/advice much appreciated! Thank you.

Alice Navidad Dec 2021 8:36am, 29 Dec 2021 9,210 posts	0 Alice Navidad Pothunter Thanks, I’ve heard of ForScore. I don’t know anyone who uses it though so was hoping for some advice before I spend money
