Episode 9 - Making practice fun

Piano, finally

Welcome to Episode 9. Thanks for joining me this week. It has been busy; school is back for Term 3, which means this will be back into a normal rhythm but also much busier. My regular piano lessons will be starting back this coming week, and I’m looking forward to learning some new things over the coming term. Before the holidays, my piano teacher mentioned that she would be running a showcase concert in the middle of September. I don’t think I’m ready to perform in front of members of the public yet, even if those members are also piano learners. I’ll let you know my thoughts.
Piano practice is something that all piano learners have to do. Unfortunately, there is no instant way of going from not being able to play to giving Lang Lang a run for his money without many thousands of hours of practice. I would hope that for most players, practice is at least enjoyable, but once the initial thrill of starting is over, it probably can’t be described as fun. Except that this week, I discovered something that made my practice much more fun.
