I realized that practicing piano is very different when you have a kid. You have to find a time that he will only "accompany" you, not doing any damages while you're playing piano. So, the perfect time to play is pretty much... the weekend.
I think I should've put some more posts, despite the progress. :P
How am I doing in term of progress? I'm in a pretty good shape for Mozart K332 for the first 2 movements. They were too bad to begin with anyway. While my fingers can barely move fast, I should focus more on the 3rd movement. :)
Chopin Op 18 is a nice piece. Still working on it. But I started to appreciate the different variation in this piece of music.

First set of pieces to play
I figured it doesn't help if I randomly select music pieces to play, so as the first round, I picked 3.
1. Mozart K332 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn45vo56NcM)
What can I say about this one? I like Mozart's composition in general. I particularly picked this one because it's one of my Grade 8 exam piece. For those who've prepared piano exam, you know how many times you had to practice before going into an exam. But after all this, I still like this one.
Where I'm at? I think for all 3 movements, it's generally ok. There are few places that I made mistakes easily continue to have this problem. I played the 1st movement the most, so I guess it's better among the 3 movements.
2. Chopin Op. 18 Grande Valse Brillante (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG-E4PVGQSI)
This one might be an easier start to get into the Chopin pieces. It's pretty much the first Chopin waltz that I've played many many years ago. :)
3. Bach Prelude and Fugue XI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0X9KVlbMEc)
This one again is another exam pieces. All I remember is page 90!!

Welcome to my blog
Haven't really played piano for so many years, I recently got a piano and would like to get back to the state where I used to be. Therefore, this blog is here... to track my progress, and hopefully get some peer support. :)
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
