I belong to a group that meets weekly to each play a song, via zoom. We play solo and each choose our own thing to sing or play. Though a few people are skilled and former semi-pro, most are not. Most are playing guitar or ukulele, but there's the occasional keyboard.
The group is meant to be extremely supportive and I often find the approving comments are over-the-top. Frankly, I feel a bit uncomfortable with that (like any autistic might) but I'm new so I don't make the rules. I used to teach ESL to adults for several years, so I do have some idea how to be supportive in a group of learners doing a functional skill!
But what are your best tips and thoughts for how to run such a group? Or any comments on the group as I've described it. Oh, and it's not always the same 12 people, though there are regulars. Every week is slightly different, often with new people trying it out.
