I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

    I never made it too far myself. Started with the Alfred’s teach yourself adult book and then just picked up sheet music for songs I wanted to learn.

    My goal was to be the guy at the party who played a song that people sang along to. Got that to happen at family Christmas with Don’t Stop Believin’ and then kind of stopped playing.

    Don’t know if you can search by octave requirements or anything, but easier songs and pop songs tend not to use the whole keyboard.

      Thanks for the suggestion!

      I never remember names of songs or artists, so I find it difficult to find some nice song to play and sing to. I vaguely remember wanting to play rocket man because it would be nice to be able to play and sing at the same time.

      Amazing that you managed to play for your family and got people to sing with you, that’s already much further than I ever got.
