“ I came to this meetup after I'd been playing for 3 months and could only sightread in first position, and slowly at that. It was a struggle to keep up, but there were parts that I could play, and the group made me feel welcome. Now I've been playing for two years, and I've made it to most of the meetups. This group has been instrumental (heh) in nurturing my ability and motivation. Everyone I've met here is warm, forgiving, helpful, and enthusiastic. The pieces are arranged such that a wide range of skill levels can find a pleasant challenge. Highly recommended! ”

“ A fabulous evening of people with common interests, skills and dreams coming together to share in the joy of music making. I am trying to figure out how this works without participants making a modest financial contribution to this worthy effort. Surely people interested in serious attempts to make music with others would not take issue with this? I very much look forward to future PLAYINS! Muchisimas gracias to all who make this happen (not an effort to be taken for granted). Molly ”

“ I good way to sample playing in an ensemble, reading a part without benefit of all other parts (like SATB choral music). I sight read my music. I will practice prior to December play-in to make things easier for myself. ”
