Hi Carly’s Crew!

I have been working on my piano lots the last couple of weeks and it is finally starting to become a habit that I fit into my everyday routine. I am feeling really proud of myself so far, however, there are definitely a few places where I am really struggling! To make it easy for you to understand where I am at with my practicing I will organize this post into two sections: apples and onions. Apples represent the things that I am doing well and onions will represent the areas where I am still having some troubles. 

Apples

  1. As of today I am able to play the whole song through with my right hand only! This means that I am right on track with where I need to be in terms of my growth plan. 
  2. I am able to play about 75% of the song from memory. This means I am not looking at sheet music or any videos. 

Onions

  1. In all honesty, I am very nervous to start using my left hand to play at the same time. I have spent some time trying to add it in slowly but I am finding it impossible to play two hands at the same time. 
  2. I keep rushing the timing of the song as I get more comfortable with it. I know that when I video myself I will be extra nervous, and rush even more than usual, so I need to practice and focus on the correct timing! 

That’s all for now! Fingers crossed I will have figured out how to get my left hand playing simultaneously with my right hand by the next time you hear from me 😉

See you then!
