Piano Answers

Ok, so I have a friend & she is pianist but she is 12 years old. And her teacher told her about a high school teacher that really needs accompaniment for piano but she is afraid if its too much pressure, she can play pretty high level music but never took piano lessons, & yes there will be rehearsals.
So what do you think should she?

from Alzheimers?

I play the piano pretty well, but i don’t know what I’m going to do to fill the half hour slot.

So, my piano is in need of a repair. It’s a Zender, I don’t really know how old, we didn’t buy it new & it’s been here all my life, so is definitely 16+.
I don’t know much about how pianos actually work (apart from the basics obviously) so was wondering if I could state the problems with it & then someone could advise me what repairs need doing & who might do them for me.
So, the problems:
It’s sound is too ‘bright’, to the extent that gradually it’s turning into a ‘honky-tonk’ piano. It lacks the softer, less overly-resonant sound of a good piano.
Sometimes the hammer bounces back on the string creating a ‘double note’ when I’ve only hit the key once.
It’s terrible at playing quietly & is very light to push the keys. (but perhaps this isn’t something repairable & is only becoming more of a problem as I become better & more aware of the sounds I making).
Ok thanks!
