Day 325

A Cool Piano Day.
Started out with the decision to not memorize. Relief!
Was frustrated starting on "Londenberry Air" again today as it sounded bad as i forgot it..... But then stuck with it, and its sounding better! I thought I didn't have to go through the chord constructions on p.21 anymore, but I was mistaken! I went back to them today, and realized that I better stick with them!

Day 321

Working on working out the chords on p.21, and working on "Londonberry Air" on p.25 in the first Swain book. Enjoying this process. I like the idea of combining the strategies of memorizing chords and learning how to make them. Its going quite well. I just hate memorizing tunes.
