1,000 Days of Piano - Day 1

I just spent an hour plowing through select pieces from the Suzuki piano repertoire. If I’m going to learn how to teach the music, first I must learn the music itself. I didn’t play much that was familiar to me from my childhood of taking piano lessons. It was lots of reading—slow reading. I felt as though I was at a buffet full of very rich food, and all I could do was nibble.
I ended up with more Bartok than I’m accustomed to playing, using my piano as a portal to Hungary and Romania.

It’s more than a musical journey through time and place. In the end, on this first day, it will have taken me nearly two hours to practice and post a video of my playing. I could more easily race across a zip line. And I’m supposed to do this daily for a thousand days? It will be a giant exercise in non-judgment.
