I have been playing the piano for about 8 years. I love it! I finished 7 grades and I can play by notes well. I just have a somewhat heard time with rhythm and with accompanying a melody or someone singing. I usually end up playing the same type of accompaniment and it’s too boring. How can I learn to accompany on my own without taking more lessons, because I don’t have much money to take lessons. Also, how can I learn and be able to tell what rhythm to begin playing when I play by ear?

- higher grade books on electronic keyboards have accompaniment exercises (aka comping) in various styles. You can pick up some of those.
