Q2. How are you with chords? *

Tick any that apply. Any additional detail add in the box below.

Pretty good!

Triads and 7ths are no problem - but anything more 'jazzy' I need to work on.

I can make my way through most song sheets - I just wish I knew how to make it sound better.

If it's notated I'm fine - chord symbols are a mystery.

Completely lost!

Q3. How does it sound when you play? *

Tick any that apply. Any additional detail add in the box below.

I studied classically - so I can make a decent sound and play fairly complex pieces.

I'm self taught - sometimes it sound a bit plonky.

Everything sounds the same!

I'm experienced at playing with a rhythm section - I can play with good time and groove.

I play other instruments so I understand shape and tone.

I feel like I can be creative on the piano, and it allows me to express myself in a different way to my singing.

I love it, but it's messy!
