This week has been okay, I caught a few mistakes I made while teaching myself this song, which was a bit of a setback, however, I am really proud of myself for getting the left and right hand down. I head home for reading break this weekend, and am excited to play on a something other than a keyboard, I plan to submit a video of the songs progression so far while I am home. I have also attached a picture of the sheet music I am learning. It is weird because I would have played this so easily when I was younger, but since it thas been so many years I am struggling a bit, but I have to give myself grace because I don’t have an instructor helping me and it has been so many years.

I had a huge push back the last week. My piano I rented completely broke, so I was in a hurry to find a new one. I found one on facebook marketplace which I picked up during the weekend, however, I realized I needed an adapter for it so I ordered one on Amazon and now I am ready to go! After the set back, I was feeling unmotivated and struggled to get back into playing again. However, I sat down on Monday night and found a song I was interested in learning. It is a french song called Je te Laisserai des mots. I wrote down the cords and so far have majority of the right hand figured out. This will be a tricky song to learn, since there is a lot of hand position changes, but I am determined to get it down!

I played a lot of piano growing up in elementary school, I stopped in highschool because I was getting overwhelmed with school work. Since recently getting back into it, I have rented a piano from the UVic music room in which I brought home and started playing around with the keys. I looked up some basic songs in which I praciticed writing out the notes and beats to get familiar with the music before I start playing again. My current goal is to learn the right hand of a song by next week, however, the first step is to figure out which song that will be.
