be a better pianist

I’m realy not a good pianist, but I’ve had classes for a few years and then droped out of it because I was realy slacking and wasn’t making any progress. However, last summer I decided to start playing again on my own, and now every time I find a nice and not impossible song I try to learn it. It’s neat, I play when I feel like it, and latly it seems it is all I ever do.

Right now I’m concentrating on Beethoven’s “Moonlight” Sonata, which is realy one of my favourites. It’s actually easier than I thought it would be… I’m happy ^^

i decided that be a concert pianist would be my life goal when i was 14. ever since then i have been working toward that goal. lately i have faltered and i want to get back to be a good student. i want to stop procrastinating! i know i can do this, i know i can get into music and play the music i love. i can resist the distractions the life throws at me. tomorrow i will be the better pianist.

i can only play 2 songs

I’ve been looking at taking piano lessons from one of the professors at the local college as a “special student”

I am playing again so by the very nature that I am playing more often I am improving. I might even take a lesson or two.

My chorus teacher helped start me off with wanting to learn how to play the piano, he showed me where middle c on the piano was, and then I had to figure it out from there. I don’t want to be a master pianist but I love to sing and I can already read music a lot better than I could before and I’ve improved a whole lot. I took my first year of chorus at my highschool this year, the last time I took a chorus class was centuries ago, and he boosted me up from the beginning class to the most advanced they have because of my determination. I have trouble playing with two hands but I just learned a song where I was able to use both of them successfully. I mainly want to get better so I can read the music very easily and be able to give myself vocal notes. I love musical theatre and chorus so it really helps to have this skill.

I’ve started practicing again… Like crazy really… I’ve found a new and intense inspiration and it drives me to practice any time I pass the piano really. I want to be back up to my old tricks in less than a year, and really I’ve been slacking for the last 5 years. Looking back, I wish I had just made myself play. I’m by no means bad, but when you’ve been winning contests since you were 6, and now the notes don’t come as easily, it get as bit frustrating. You know?!
It’s just getting the dexterity back under my hands, and making sure my brain is on board with the whole operation. YAY!

I played well. This is going to sound completely backwards, so I’m just warning you now…. I went to a college of music and stopped playing, slowly, over time… It’s very different living in a place with a piano then having to book time in a practice room. I used to just walk by the piano and sit down for a while and play, but I only had a key board… I’m fairly snotty when it comes to unweighted keys and can’t stand the way it feels beneath my fingers. I am going to make a VERY concerted effort to change this horrible chain of events. I’m moving back home for a while and have a full grand at my disposal. I figure I will be playing out near the end of this year if I’m diligent… I’m completely capable. I’ve been doing it for years… I started playing when I was 5, and now that I’m 24 I’m realizing that it’s been missing these past couple of years.

It’s probably all my doing…but I’m hoping that if I’m able to stay in the city in which I live presently that I’ll be able to take this free piano class some person is offering for FREE!!!! Yep, free for a month! She (I’m assuming “she” by the name) is offering playing by ear techniques, improvisation…all the things that I’d like to become better at doing. I’m excited…I’ve got to find a job soon!!!!

Everytime I see a piano I have to touch it…I’m going back for lessos!!
