resp:2 How about playing and singing at the same time?  I acquired that 
during my years of accompaning for church services and education 
classes.

resp:1 E key a little loud?  Playing that key too hard?  Unless your 
keyboard has touch sensitivity, I doubt it.

Beware that the action of electronic pianos and acoustic ones tend to 
be very different.  Electronic piano keys generally respond to a fairly 
light touch; you will be in for a surprise should you play on an 
acoustic, more so because the action of the keys might vary with its 
age.  I remember at least one concert I did where the piano keys were 
really stiff.

Beginning piano books for adults are available-- Alfred has one.  It 
moves through concepts a bit more quickly, and addresses the concept of 
chord positions when simple fingering sufficed for children.

Glad to hear you're getting piano lessons.  Having a teacher is 
invaluable even when you've got skills-- everyone can use a coach and a 
mentor.  If you can find one, get a teacher who can arrange and compose-
- they can specifically address problems with your skills by writing if 
they can't find existing exercises or repetoire.

My roomie wants to learn but hasn't been very diligent in asking for my 
instruction.  I explained the clefs to her so she could better 
understand how to read standard notation.
