Week 4
Posted on
The real world is currently intruding on my time. Tia is in the hospital post heart surgery, her recovery is not going well. I'll be in Tampa for a week starting next Saturday.
One month in and I am still not a pianist, who could have expected it. My scales are slowly improving, but I find it takes a good bit of warmup to achieve what passes for my best play. I cannot walk up to the piano and start playing, I first have to 'get there'. I expect month after month of practice will reduce the warmup time, with a decent cold start indicating the requisite skills are baked in to my nervous system.
Have started working on major/minor/dim triads, but I have to think deliberately about the shapes, they are nowhere near automatic.
