Hi Carly’s Crew!

These last few days have been crazy with the Coronavirus on the rise in Canada, classes have been cancelled so I have been stuck at home! The good news is, this has given me extra time to practice the piano. My family must be getting tired of hearing me play every day 😉

Like I said last week, this song has been a bit of a challenge for me. The more I practice in small sessions each week, the more I see myself improving. So far, I have learned the entire song with my right hand. The song repeats the chorus multiple times which makes it super easy to memorize the notes. Now that I have learned all of the notes I have been able to practice the whole song up to full speed.

At first, I felt that the song was too fast and tricky for me as a beginner. But now I’m having the opposite problem! I am beginning to rush through the song and having trouble keeping a steady beat. This was interesting to me because I didn’t even realize I was doing this until I watched a video of myself playing the song. The video recordings have been so helpful for me to see what parts of the song need extra work. But also it allows me to see the parts where I am having success…this acts as a huge confidence booster!

I have just over a week to learn my left hand and to perfect the song. I can’t wait for you to see the video of me playing!

Carly 🙂
