Keyboard to borrow

Katie from Takapuna

Kia ora neighbours!
I really want to get back in to playing the piano. I grew up learning to play until I was a teenager, then I stopped because a progressive vision impairment meant seeing the sheet music became impossible. I got sad and frustrated (as teenagers do) and gave it up, and I've barely touched a piano in fifteen years. Since then I've learned how to manage my vision loss and figure out work arounds, I really want to try pick it up again before the knowledge is totally gone. I am wondering if anyone might have a keyboard that isn't being used that I might can borrow for a short time (from a few weeks to a few months- anything!) so I can give it a good try to see if I can do this before buying one of my own. I will take excellent care of it. Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Katie

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
