Hi Phil Good going,when you are as old as I am you will be able to really swing,Im 83,started at 75.Did not get a teacher, dumb.taught myself even dumber,bought all kind of books,thinking this will make me really good,wrong.It took me way to long to realize that practice is the only way to go.Well n...

Here are the notes,if you recognize it,you will know the tempo,slow & gentle.

Yes,I must admit it does sound far out,there is a relative new science gaining poplarity called neuroplasticity, if your interested

My level is very low,I only play for fun and am not too serious about my progress.

In pianists who play many arpeggios, for instance, brain regions that control the index finger and middle finger become fused, apparently because when one finger hits a key in one of these fast-tempo movements, the other does so almost simultaneously, fooling the brain into thinking the two fingers ...

Not enough fingers to do an extended chord and if I use the right hand to add notes,how do I play the melody,bear with me please,I sound mixed up even to me.

Thank you markymark for your quick response and you are probably right. But so far I find the 235 more natural and have the thumb ready and waiting for 7th chords.

I use 2 3 5 L.H. for triads and 1 2 3 for R.H. triads,a little stretch there but it gives me extra fingers for larger chords,am I wrong?

There are 2 treble cleffs in a beginners Czerny exercise book,Do I play both staffs with the right hand separately? Thank you.
