I'm real new to this too, as I've only been going a couple of weeks. I read music but a bit slow to be honest as it's been a long long time, but I've found if I don't try to practice too fast, I can slowly up the pace, and it seems to work. I can usually figure out the melody with the right hand pretty quick, but I'm finding the left hand more difficult, I just hope it comes with more practice. I think I need to look for a teacher, just to save time if I'm doing it all wrong.

Thanks for your help, I'll keep persevering and take on board what you say.

Hi all, I recently got myself a Lachanel 20 button anglo, and after a couple of weeks I am starting to play some nice tunes. It seemed pretty hard at first to start adding my left hand, but the penny started to drop yesterday, and it sounds so much better, although obviously I have a long way to go to become a decent player. My main concern is the air button, as I seem to struggle for air if there are a few repetertive pushes or pulls. My thumb seems to be in the correct position, but I don't have the strength to press it by pushing my thumb sideways. Will this come after a while of trying, as my thumb gets stronger or should I change my technique somehow, before it gets set in my memory, and becomes difficult if I leave it too late? Hope you understand, as I'm sure some beginners will have had the same problems, when they started out.
