This blog is about me and my music. My current focus is on learning piano using the Sudnow Method and guitar improvisation. I currently play guitar in a band that concentrates on playing the early rock and roll of the 50’s and 60’s. I also play guitar in a trio setting that focuses more on the jazzy side. Seemingly irrelevant posts on this blog reflect topics that are probably expressed in my music somewhere.

Piano
A little practice today in day 3. Added a new song, worked a little on that and “Embraceable You.” Scales, major, minor, augmented, diminished triads. Must keep momentum!

Piano Practice 2
Day 2 of piano practice. Did my chords, scales, and continue to work on “Embraceable You.” I like how it was relaxing yet challenging. Thinking that if I just put in the time, then the results will come in time. It’s not my job to race ahead… my job is to Put In The Time.
PUT IN THE TIME
Put in the time focused on quality, and the results will come in time.

P I A N O 2023
Ok so I guess I’m full circle here. Can’t get the piano out of my system yet. Started lessons (again). Started yesterday with an excellent teacher! Started yesterday, and had my first practice session this evening. Working on a song (Embraceable You), working on triads (major, minor, augmented, sus4, diminished), to work on some major scale fingerings (forward and back), learning how to use diatonic harmony to help remember songs, etc.
IM BACK !!
