Piano Class [3-Oct-2010]

Saiaku da.

Kept playing the "Pump and Circumstance" song. Didn't practise much. & couldn't get it right at all. 

Grrrhrh.

Dispirited.

I tried on a very difficult piece (I think it's a greek song) yesterday. Chords-like, 3-in-1-press notes... My head spun like crazy. How could someone play this so expertly? How could I tackle this? It's the first time I heard of that song, so the melody was still unfamiliar to me thus making it harder to play. 

To be honest, I was a bit afraid that this is one of "those" pieces. You know, the pieces piano teachers ask you to play to see if you have improved or not. I think I had several of those pieces before, & unfortunately I didn't pass all of them. 

Haven't practice much since yesterday... I feel lost.

Sick.

Didn't do much practice these few days. Did some "Junior Hanon" (my sister's book) practice though. I find it helpful because I have a bad sense of piano fingering. It's like warm-ups one do before they start jogging or playing any sports.

Odd question but : Do you play the piano the piano when you have the flu? I think it's kind of unhygienic to play while you rub your nose or cover your mouth (cough, sneeze).... hehe. Same as you use the computer keyboard. 

One thing for sure, having hand sanitizer(s) around the house will help prevent the germs from spreading. 

[Note-to-self : Must buy more. Must wear more often.]


Tomorrow is another day for piano class. Sigh.
