Thanks for including me in the group.
I'm an old retiree (79) who recently decided to take up the Keyboard. As far as prior musical abilities/training...I have very little. I spent 6 months in my High School band attempting to play the clarinet. That was it!
I did take a short adult piano course about 45 years ago...but...guess what...I've forgotten much of what I learned there. Ha ha
6 months ago I bought a PSR363/YPT150. I hired an instructor for a few months. She was very helpful in getting me started, but she didn't know much about making my YPT150 work. She was primarily a piano teacher, though she did say she owned a Yamaha keyboard. It must have been a higher-end model as my rudimentary setup puzzled her. I know that I have a low-end machine and I am OK with that for now.
I can read music and, albeit, with some issues with arthritis, I can play the right-hand notes of simple music easily enough. The left-hand one-finger chords are coming on fine, though co-ordinating my timing could be better.
I am hoping to learn as much as I can about the mechanics of finding Styles and accompaniments that fit; downloading more Styles if that is the solution, and enjoying playing.
Presently, I can muddle through a half-dozen songs. I know all of them could be improved if I knew better how to control, amend and add in the various Styles and accompaniment(s) available to me.
I am sorry if I will be asking some dumb questions along the way. I will do some searches and read all that I can before I bother any of you.
regards, from Houston, Texas
