I have signed up for a month of Smart music, so we'll see how that goes. I have only spent a few minutes working at it, but it appears it is exercises more than pieces, but as I said I haven't investigated enough to know for sure. Unfortunately, I signed up before seeing the posts here, so I think it's too late for the start up disk - they are sending me one of those in the mail, though along with an instrument mic.

As it turns out, there are not many groups near me on the list posted here. That is the bad thing about living in rural NC, I guess. I will definitely have to settle for playing alone for now. I am going to make a point to visit the only group I was able to find within an hour of me for their performance next month.

I do not have any music notation software, and I'm afraid I am way over my budget for music expenses this year, with just getting started again, so I'll have to wait on that. I have used 8notes.com off and on this year, which has free registration, but their selection is pretty limited. They use midi as well. I do have the same problem as JNK with hearing the accompaniment - but mine comes more from the screaming kids running through the room! Headphones work pretty well for that, but then I can't hear myself as well to judge tone, etc.

Oh well, I guess the ideal is to play with real people and to replace that with technology will cause one problem or another.....
