There is something different about the second beat that I haven't quite internalized. It is important to make the melody sing and the bass notes guide the song on the first beat. Then there is the second beat. It can be the filler notes and color that lead to the next chord or fill out the present chord. I was taught a measure where the second beat is a single 7th note in the left hand. I need to apply this more.
The first beat isn't always the most important beat. The second beat is needed to support the team effort.
I hope you continue to share your journey on the keyboards with us. I haven't played since I was a little girl and was self-taught, anyway. Someday, to have real lessons... :)
