Piano Group
The Piano Group meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 10 to 11.30am, normally in the Methodist Church Side Room 1.
Our members have a very wide piano ability range. Some are beginners or recent 'restarters' and some are at about Intermediate level. One who is particularly good serves to inspire the rest of us. There are no show-offs; we talk about difficulties we're having with pieces and we all encourage one another.
We come each month with a piece we are practising and play it for the others: we do find this difficult - we can all play better on our own at home, of course. And it's good but salutary to use a different piano. No-one is obliged to play. We have a number of sight-reading books for those brave enough to try. We finish every meeting with a drink (bring your own flask) and biscuits.
There is usually a selection of Pianist Magazines which may be borrowed. These include tips on how to play better as well as 40 pages of sheet music for all levels and tastes.
