How cool that you're working on learning those two things!
I'm learning to play the ukulele. Which means I'm now afflicted by UAS: Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome. Fortunately, they can be had for cheapish, compared to so many other instruments. There's also an electric bass here that a friend gave me many years ago, and I've noodled around on it a bit. When there was a piano in the house, it was a very useful thing for figuring out what the chords were to something I'd made up. (Making things without being able to notate them is kind of a theme around here.)
What kinds of things are you liking to play on the piano? Is it all sheet music, or do you also just sit there and noodle around and see what sounds happen and how they go together?
Your mention of singing software intrigues me. Can you say more? I'm trying to imagine what it would be like. (I totally agree that trying to sing in a key that hurts to attempt is definitely Not Helpful.)
