so…i’ve never taken any formal lessons before but i’m working on learning. i’m using books, websites (youtube), and anything else i can to help. right now i’m working on the song comptine d’un autre ete l’apres midi by Yann Tiersen. it’s my favorite song on the piano and so far i’ve learned the first part. not much progress but i just started two days ago.

beginning my lessons soon 1 month ago

Over the past year or so, I’ve gotten it into my head that playing piano would be fun. I’ve always sort of wished that I could play. I don’t have any music background, so this may be a steep hill for me to climb, but I’m pretty excited at the prospect of learning to play. I will start lessons later this month.



Still working on Serenade 1 month ago

I am working on the dynamics today. I like this piece. I looked it up on the internet and found a cool Japanese? video that is set to this piece. I also looked at other people at various levels of mastery playing this piece. You can learn what to keep and what not to do by listening to others. I love music today.

I spent a lot of time on Schubert’s Serenade. It is now my friend. :)

Took a college class on it 2 months ago

Though, I’m about to have finals on it…I prolly won’t do well on the written test. It confuses me a bit.
I also can’t sight read. I have to look at the notes on the music sheet and then fill it in.
I’m practicing though. Trying to get it down. I’m hoping that I’ll learn how to sight read someday…
Hopefully after this course, I’ll continue to play
=)



First step 3 months ago

I’ve bought some music – now I need to sit down and play! I also need to get my piano tuned.



This site intrigues me. 4 months ago

So I made an account. I read a series of posts by someone named Kel when I was searching for ways to quiet my mind in my insomniac late nights. I like the idea of a collection of things people want to do. It helps put me in perspective. And place.



Sam Johnson is trying to stay happy

Untitled 4 months ago

I am a musician with very low piano skills and it makes it almost impossible to succeed in this world without them.
