....... can we practice the technique of playing whisper-quiet when we're doing a song?
I'm really pleased we're starting to rehearse songs. It'll all add to our eventual "act". But given we're complaining we can't hear the singer, can we do something positive and try playing so quietly that the song can actually be heard?
There's a tendency when playing softly to slow right down. It's a skill, playing softly but still fast. So can that be something we try next Thursday?

Thank you Patty. I couldn't agree more. Let's make the transition from being impressive by volume to being impressive by musicianship!
Getting that nice round sound out of surdos, and being able to hear the songs.....magic!
So let's first practice playing fast and softly, then do it in a song.
