I love the piano and would love to play it more often. I went from 4 hours a day to once a month. How sad! 4 days ago

I found the instructions to the keyboard and figured out what probably 60% of the buttons on the instrument do. Of course, I don’t see myself using most of them… but I figured out how to use the lessons on the keyboard.

This dang thing has an entire section of Fur Elise that I’ve never attempted (and I got a “Very Good” on it the first time around!) so I should get some good use out of playing around with the lessons.

It felt good to be at the keyboard again. It really is like riding a bicycle. I just hope that most of the things I learned in piano class haven’t been shoved out of my mind for other things… 16 months ago

Last night, New Years Eve, I sat with my boyfriend and nephew at my piano and looked over some sheet music that my boyfriend had printed out for me for my birthday.

I hadn’t looked at it since I got it, which was back in August.

Part of the issue here is lack of privacy to study songs. I need to move my keyboard to somewhere where I can practice without someone hovering over me. 17 months ago

I created a piano playlist on my youtube! And I’ve practiced a couple of times this week. It hasn’t been much. I’ve forgotten a whole section of Fur Elise (my former teacher would at this point give me a big dramatic gasp if he heard this) and I don’t even want to see if I remember how to read anything…

It’s almost mind-blowing to me. I started playing about 2006. That’s already 5 years ago. I stopped playing seriously in 2009. I was doing piano steadily, crazily for 3 years. Sheesh… 20 months ago
