Can't do it, cherub; I haven't the facilities. What about Joseph or Openwood - a scary man-teacher might do it (What KEY are you in, boy????)! Or praps Moonlight could pretend to be scary....?:)

I can't bear hearing my voice on tape. I like to think I have a warm, manly baritone speaking voice but whenever I hear it played back I sound less like James Mason and more like Graham Norton on helium; a most unsettling experience.

Are you calling me a Widdecombe looky likey?? If so I'm coming to get you...
The Christopher Lee warning might work...scary!
I'm disappointed at Openwood...I was envisaging a Jimmy Edwards Whacko! bellow....not Charlie Drake (she said, showing her age...)!

Nah, Dave needs someone with an authoritative voice and has years of piano playing experience! I couldn’t ask a question like ‘What key are you playing in?' as I probably wouldn’t know myself!

Hi Dave

You could print out a sign and put it near your piano? WHAT KEY AM I PLAYING IN? maybe? I have one I did recently in pencil saying: 'Signt read something everyday ( or else!

)'

I will send over that sight reading stuff you asked for a little later!

No I don't teach, Dave; I don't like brats particularly, and I have no patience.
And you would be horrified if you knew how many parents say 'O that doesn't matter' when I've told them WHY I can't teach their little b....abies.
