I do it all: piano, organ with a high music rack, computer, and keyboards.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I used to keep a separate pair of 4 diopter “drug store glasses” for all my close work to avoid all the bobbing, nodding and neck craning.  Peripheral vision is important to me for orienting me to the keyboard. When forced to tilt my head back for close work I lost that and it drove me crazy. (I know! It’s a short drive!)<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The last time I went to the optometrist for bifocals, I had the sudden inspiration to have them place the close work “sweet spot” a little higher in the lenses. It works like a charm and now I am back to using only one pair for everything. At nearly 67 it’s truly affirming. I don’t know if it would work for others, but I chanced it since LensCrafters will regrind your lenses if you don’t like them.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Hoping this might help someone,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=600 style='width:6.25in'> <tr> <td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=right width=600 style='width:6.25in'> <tr> <td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=600 style='width:6.25in;border:solid #666666 1.0pt'> <tr height=1 style='height:.75pt'> <td width="100%" height=1 bgcolor="#4E81C4" style='width:100.0%; border:none;background:#4E81C4;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt; height:.75pt'> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%'> <tr> <td style='padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt 3.75pt'> Gordy Wilson's Music Studio<o:p></o:p> </td> <td style='padding:.75pt 3.75pt .75pt .75pt'> To be where I am needed.<o:p></o:p> </td> </tr> </table> <o:p></o:p> </td> <td height=1 bgcolor="#4E81C4" style='border:none;background:#4E81C4; padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt;height:.75pt'> <o:p> </o:p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=2 style='border:none;padding:.75pt .75pt .75pt .75pt'> <table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellpadding=0 align=right width="100%" style='width:100.0%' height="100%"> <tr height=1 style='height:.75pt'> <td height=1 valign=top style='padding:.75pt .75pt 3.0pt 3.0pt; height:.75pt'> Gordy Wilson Director of Music and Communication <o:p></o:p> </td> <td height=1 valign=top style='padding:.75pt 3.0pt 3.0pt .75pt; height:.75pt'> Grace United <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Methodist</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Church</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> <a href="http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&addr=2004+S.+Philo+Road&csz=Urbana%2C+IL+61802&country=us" target="_blank">2004 S.
