Q: So, there's a chance for me to audition for my school's jazz band, but there's an issue: the keyboard they provide has weighted keys, while I'm incredibly accustomed to unweighted keys (and I've been told it probably wouldn't work to bring my own keyboard) Besides the obvious "how the hell do you do an audition" worries, now I have this to worry about. There *is* an acoustic piano somewhat nearby to me, so should I just practice like crazy on that, or will it be fine? I know you play with unweighted keys, so I figure that you might have come across this situation before
A: meh ............ yeah it's different but not really worth worrying about. it's like about the same as the difference between an american english dialect and an australian english dialect. the amount of trouble you may have playing a weighted keyboard might be about the same level of difficulty that an australian person and a usa person would have, understanding each other in conversation. which i estimate is not very much trouble
