We all thoroughly enjoyed the meeting at Kay’s house in March, with a choice of two pianos and a wonderful selection of music played by our members.
Thank you very much to Kay for hosting the meeting and for everyone’s musical and culinary contributions.
Our next meeting will be held at the home of Chris in Saltford.
Best wishes to all.
Leonora.

I started playing musical instruments at a very young age of 10 years (2009). Initially I was into Indian instruments but as I explored other instruments I started playing piano in the year 2012. I have been exploring other instruments but piano is something that just matched with my fingers. I have never been to any institute to learn but I had Mr. Krishna Kant sir – my music teacher in school – who guided me during my early learning period. Unfortunately I lost touch with him after a few years but today I hope if he sees me and my piano skills he would be proud of me.
