Daily Piano - Week 8

So I've reached the point where I'm re-playing Arashi stuff again (which I've done in January). Probably need to make my daily practice more varied or something now.

Adding music theory is nice too but I'm afraid that I'll use this as an easy-way-out kind of thing from the real practice lol... Should be implemented carefully, I guess.

Also interested in transcribing songs (I have a few in MuseScore which I never completed). This can easily take longer than an hour... but it's not practice IMO. Listening practice, maybe, but not real practice.

Daily Piano - Week 5

So, it finally happened. I missed a day. Just because I forgot about it! (*sigh*.. that's one of the dangers of "I'll do it later"... at night)

I make the rules so there's going to be a rest day every month. I can decide if it's no-practice rest day or yes-practice but yes... I just took a rest day yesterday, that's all!

I did doubled my practice time today.. just to make myself better. 

Not going to let this bother me.

I'm still doing it randomly. Pieces from here, songs from there. Not sure if I'm going to do it differently for next month.

Daily Piano - Week 3

Okay, on my third week of an-hour daily piano practice. Quite amazed that I'm still at it. It helps not making a big deal about it. "It's only 1 hour, do it!"

Still playing random stuff... lately into my Arashi songs files XD. 

Some days I played at night and... that always made me self-conscious. I'm afraid of playing the piano too loud so I avoid songs/pieces that has like large chords (haaaa). One of the days, I ended up only playing the LH part. Which was actually interesting. I'm aware of the fact but that really helped in playing a complete one especially the hard parts. LH parts just go smoothly.. or something. 

Ideas for future months:
- Scales and arpeggios 
- Tackle one difficult piece that I thought I'll never going to play it good enough
- Practice on controlling dynamics [not paying much attention to this as of now because I'm still trying to familiarise with the piano again ]
- Transcribe the BGMs from Voltage games that I'm playing [far, far future]

I'm trying to get over this wall kind of problems:
- Just keep playing, even though I played it wrong before
- Repeat a phrase until I'm satisfied
- Play the piece/song at least once or most of it

Daily Piano - Week 1

There's not going to be weekly updates on this. Only when I think I have something to say.

I want to play the piano daily (at least an hour). I seriously need the practice. - my blog, "2021 is..."

So.. Have been doing this daily so far but let me tell you... starting is as hard as maintaining/continuing. Just yesterday I already started being bored *sigh*.

For this month, I'm just going to jump in and play whatever I want. Randomly. For at least an hour everyday. I think that's important. Shouldn't decide to do hours of practice when I'm just trying to get back to this.

ただいま! and Happy New Year~

 I'm reviving this blog lol

Although it seems that I did want to post sth last year:

It was empty though...

I don't know how yet but I [kind of] want to make this year a year where I get back to playing piano regularly. I mentioned some of the things in my personal blog, ... I guess I want to gain (or regain) certain [new] skills this year. Yeah. This month, I'm going to start with at least an hour of piano-playing daily.
