I guess no one said learning this thing was going to be easy. Interesting, how I sit down and expect to play from the written music and have it sound great without working on the pieces!
Today, I worked on a couple of things:
1) "Love Me Tender" in the songbook. Great to find out I didn't know the bass cleff like I thought I did. I thought I'd play it quickly, but its going to take time, with all the correct fingerings and all.
2) Hanon #1.
3) Bartok Book: I'm up to #2.
4) Method Book: Up to page 63.
Its difficult for me to comprehend how folks can actually play the treble and bass cleffs at the same time when the notes are different. The material I'm using now has been merciful in utilizing the same notes on both staffs.
