a couple of times this week 5 months ago

i’ve been terrible about making time for music in the past month, but did sit down at the piano a couple of times this week. i always forget what good exercise it is for my fingers. i can feel them get stronger and less likely to be injured by typing at the computer.

I can play the piano..but I don’t think I have accomplished this goal because I can’t read sheet music lol :P I just watch youtube videos and learn to play from there :) I’ve drastically improved in my opinion :D

i put in some good piano and score reading time during my two weeks off (the christmas oratorio is terrific!). i need to keep it going as i slip back into my usual routine and todo lists.

i only managed to be at the piano about every third day this week instead of every other day. the time i spent there was wonderful, though it was starting to overload my arm muscles. i need to keep spreading it out to a little each day instead of a lot two or three times a week.

i only got in my piano time about every other day this week. need to keep trimming the fat from my todo list and making music a higher priority.



getting back in the swing 9 months ago

i’ve been pretty good about putting in an hour each day this week. i’ve started a routine of a 1/2 hour at the keyboard, a 1/2 hour of listening to music while reading the score (this and this make a great combination), a 1/2 hour of reading about music (music history, theory, etc.), and a 1/2 hour back at the piano. it’s fun! i need to keep reducing other unnecessary commitments to make time for it.



Get it finished 9 months ago

Have been dawdling on piano for a year now. Know rudimentary chords, but want to get serious practice in.

WillDante asks, “Hi I'm Will (16). I recently bought myself a keyboard, and bought a book to start learning. It's been about 6 months, and I still have difficulty reading sheet music well. I don't have the time/money for lessons, so do you have any suggestions?”
