Me and My Music

Piano

Back to piano. Music (for me) is difficult (at least on instruments other than the guitar).

Worked on Here, There, and Everywhere tonight, using the Sudnow Method.

Piano

Been continuing off and on with the piano. Looks like I need to learn song after song using what I know.

Here’s the scoop. Could get a new guitar, but surprise....don’t really want one. Made a deal with an old friend from my PhD days at Florida State University. He wants to learn violin, and I want to learn piano. So that’s what we will work on, encouraging each other if it gets tough. It’s good for me to have an “accountability buddy” with this.

Guitar? Still technically with the trio, but we haven’t done anything in awhile since COVID-19. Gypsy guitar? Sounds interesting, but not sure I “want it” enough to keep my interest, and I tried it before and lost interest. Soprano sax? Maybe. But I think piano is the Mt Everest for me.

Going back to my piano teacher this Saturday.

Here, There, and Everywhere

Working hard on my first piano lesson. Finding it very difficult. Those inversions are quite difficult for me. But this may be the first or second time that I’ve worked hard on them.

Piano

Starting new piano lessons this Saturday, January 8. Haven’t posted in awhile. My dad died December 18. It hit hard, but I’m doing better. Still in the trio band, but we haven’t played out or practiced in awhile. I haven’t played the guitar in sometime. Trying again to lose weight and eat better.
