I do not think they trill At first it seemed like c terrible nightmare, our fingers just wouldn't stay on the guide keys, and they erc too stiff with fright to acquire the coxTect positions. But that .rasn - the worst; to our horror and amazement t:c discovered that there uorc no keys on the keyboard. but blank spaces instead- And from then on we knww it would be a case of 'hit' or 'miss' and it was usually ■che latter for us. J rhen vro ucnt through some exercises which when completed (even though t?c wore all told the srmo) it was found that very feu if any ■ere alike.
