starting over, again!
Sep. 19th, 2006 01:33 pmOK so just as I'm waiting for the update page to load (it's taking a while with LJ today for some reason) I am trying to count how many times I have said in here that I will get back into my piano practice, and then .. say it together .. contact B for some more lessons!
Well, I guess I had forgotten about it again, but, quite coincidentally, J and I saw B on the train on Saturday. It's totally weird bumping into ppl out of the blu like that!
anyway as I told J later, i felt like saying "I'll give you a call" before she left, but then thought better of that. in case I don't, I don't have to feel guilty.
so this morning, or maybe afternoon by that time, I went to the piano and tried to play some random music in my head! upon realizing how I'd never get to playing the fancy things that were floating around in me little head for the moment, I picked up the sheet of Beethoven - sympthony 7 that B had brailled out. I played a bar or two from memory then looked at it and decided to take action from there. Will I just call B and ask if I could start coming back? yes, I'll do that. .. read and played a litttle more .. I may as well relearn this since I only remember how to play the start. .. No, I won't call B just yet. .. I might start myself off easy and learn one line a day (that is one line of right hand and the left hand). .. yes, that's what I'll do! .. but I ended up playing 2. I was a bit rustier with the music but as it was a familiar piece, I soon was able to pick up the few signs that had slipped my mind.
So, with learning one or two lines a day at the most, i would finished that again by no time, then I'll start on the other books. then I will get in contact with B. It was certainly so awesome of her to give me that time a while ago and I am greatful! I just wish I would damn well stick to things and stay committed.
I do wanna get there. I'm just certainly not as flexible as I use to be when I was young. I still get totally confused with fingering if it's not there on paper. can't seem to work it out by myself! *grr
Also I remember last time, B had tried to teach me how to use the peddals (for that song mainly). I found it tricky and still don't think I could do it. but peddals certainly sound better, so no doubt I'll get there if I actually keep at it this time!
Anyway, yes, how many times? hmm!
It's 28 degrese today. that's just like unheard of in Melbourne before summer! Lol but it's windy as and will be raining tonight.
