have an idea.......need suggestions
on: March 29, 2005, 10:21:58 PM
At the very bottom step of intermediate.

Want to learn the keyboard by feel, i.e. not look at keys. But at same time read the music.

Some kind of a jury-rig, kinda like flip-down from the  top sunglasses that attach to regular eyeglasses but in this case would flip down and being blackened so I would not be able to see my hands. Come up with a solution, pattern it and make zillions.

Any suggestions please.

You can always attach a piece of cardboard on the piano so that your hands are under it.  ;D

Meanwhile have a look here:
