Piano

Usually I would painstakingly learn one song at a time on the piano. And then promptly forget it. 

Learning a new way, trying to learn a bunch. Using a step by step process and I’m finding it actually *enjoyable.* It’s a process described by Willie Myette, in which the student learns standards by learning first the right hand  melodies, and then other parts step by step. I find it refreshing in that he talks about getting the steps down *on a number of songs* rather than mastering one song at a time. Today worked on “Autumn Leaves,” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” getting my feet wet with his system. If you are reading this, Willie, thanks!
The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why.
