This semester I decided to take up a piano course and learn something new. It is very interesting so far and very challenging on one side as you have to keep up with all your lessons and other courses, but also to find time to practice which is not necessarily a small time period.
I have been learning a piece by Chopin called Nocturne Op. 9 which is one of the best classical pieces out there. I new a little part before starting the course, but today I can proudly say I know almost the whole thing and not only that. In few weeks I will have my second master class which is basically a group concert of the people in the piano course and you get to see how the others a going and what they are learning.
My parents managed to buy an electric piano this Winter so whenever I get back home I can practice and not lose shape as it is extremely easy to do so.
Here is the piece I am performing:
Check out the video it is really amazing.
Do you play any instrument or want to learn how to?

As someone who used to play a number of instruments, but no longer plays one; I am glad to have read this as a friend. Quite frequently I find myself wishing I had staying with piano for longer than I did, as my love for music has grown exponentially since I was a little boy trying to learn.
ReplyDeleteIt is good that your parents just bought a piano as well, if I understand correctly, practice is what separates good musicians from great musicians
