Piano Lesson

The book I'm on now - filled with ridiculous monster creatures

Today Rachel and I covered the songs that I practiced for homework (Go For The Gold, Pirates Of The Sea, and Long, Long Ago) and did a little more review. We didn't learn any new notes today, but we've moved on to a harder book now (though still for beginners).

We focused mainly on keeping the beat and going quicker than normal. As we were playing I realised how lovely we sounded together, and I actually found myself humming the song for a while after the class ended. We also learnt briefly about quavers, as described below.

Through piano lessons I have found myself increasing my responsibility (as I have to use better time management in order to practice sufficiently), focus and concentration, and creativity. It's really a unique experience, so different from anything I've done before - of course, guitar was also challenging, but it didn't require the same absorption in the subject matter.
