Played for 11 years until the age of 19, now 41 and wondering if I’ve lost my sanity trying to relearn piano after a 20 year absence. I’m renting a piano because buying one is too expensive. As soon as I started, I developed tendonitis due to poor technique and posture. After 3 months of struggling with pain, it’s behind me but then lost momentum and didnt practice for a month or two. It’s 5 months along, just started again and wondering when am I going to sound good. I feel very clumsy and inadequate. My immediate ambition is to take my grade 8 exam but that seems so far away. one step at a time I guess, but why is progress so slow?? I havent really mastered anything although I can see I’ve improved. Better go practise now :-)
