Hi there Carly’s Crew!

This week I began learning how to play the keyboard! I have never played an instrument in my whole life so this should be an entertaining journey for all of you. I will be blogging every other week to document my progress. I will be sharing both my successes and my struggles…hopefully I will be able to play some songs by the end of the semester! If you are interested in my specific goals, please check out my growth plan!

So far, I have spent lots of time watching Youtube videos in order to get inspired. I’m having some troubles because I keep getting carried away and watching the advanced piano songs and I want to try to learn how to play them…I need to remind myself that I am a beginner and I don’t even know how to play “Happy Birthday”yet! I am very excited to learn and practice the piano and I believe getting motivated is the first step towards mastering something. I definitely won’t be a master by the end of this semester but let’s just say I’m on the right track!

My friend was kind enough to let me borrow her keyboard for the semester. She just dropped it off the other night and I have already began playing around on it. My mom told me she is excited for me to learn an actual song! Here is a picture of my keyboard, her name is Liesl! (named after the Sound of Music)

I’m gonna go start practicing now but I will keep you updated on my progress and hopefully by next week I will be on my way to becoming the next Beethoven!
