Hi kids!

I've decided to start a regular little segment on my blog called Ask A Busker!

I started it this evening after discussing the topic of "frequent questions people ask" me as a street performer. I figured I might as well answer those questions people seem to fire off at me all the time. Since it's the winter time and I'm not busking that much, I figured, now's the time to compile a list of those annoying/thought-provoking questions and start answering them!

Coincidentally, the first post is about why I don't street perform in the winter!

Please read it! Please send in your questions!

Much like the art of busking, it has the potential to be a lot of fun pending on how many people interact with it. So, please contribute!

Subject:	Melody in the left hand

I was wondering if any of you had any tips for how to practice a piece where the melody is in the left hand. I've played piano for many years, but this is something I still struggle with. I'm so accustomed to trying to bring out the melody in the right hand that it becomes a huge problem for me when the music calls for the reverse. Short of playing right hand over left hand, what can I do to improve this skill?

I've recorded myself playing this piece and you can hear the melody a little, but you have to really be listening for it. It's not nearly as clear as it needs to be.

Thanks for any help!
