Pratice makes perfect

When it comes to learning to play the piano, it all comes down to, practice, practice and MORE PRACTICE. As a (late) beginner, with my rusty fingers to boot, I never knew it can be quite confusing at first to remember all the keys and I’m still struggling to memorize some notes.

But I’m having lotsa fun with my new found past time . The feeling is wonderful. Instead of watching longingly all this while at people playing classics like Pachelbel’s Canon (my absolute favorite!), wistfully wishing that I can play that piece myself too, it’s like a dream comes true. Although I’m starting with the easy version for now.

I’ve been practicing the beginner version of Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer lately, with diligence . I just love its rhythm, the tune and the playfulness of it, the song is simply awesome.

I’ve noticed one thing however that I have problems falling asleep when I practiced too long at night or shortly before bedtime. I wonder whether practicing piano can hyper activate the brain, eh?

One thing for sure, my fingers have never felt like they’ve been torn apart and s.. t.. r.. e…. t…. c…….h… e… d like this  before.
