Re: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS! @Leah Olson Yes, I liked the advice to play tunes by ear as well. II've done it before, but never with the left index finger - that really changes things up!!

Re: Week 3-4: Playing Comfortable for someone! @Michael yes, this would be great if the time works out. I played for my son, but I play for him every day so I don't think it counts. :-) I'll send a PM.
