Maybe it was good to take a break!

I sat down and played today and it felt good—Dr. Parnassum is laying nicely on the fingers! I sat down and played through the first two pages of the piece without stopping- a few minor booboos and unevenness here and there, but for having stepped away for a few days, I actually felt I made progress with the way the finger memory was going on certain sections! I am excited!

Also, I have noticed my sight reading ability is coming back nicely to me as well. Sat down and played “Christmas Time is Here” from the Charley Brown special and was actually able to sight read it smoothly, unlike my fake pianist extraordinare husband who can play beautifully with chords alone but can’t sight read worth beans. That was a big big step for me. I really CAN play- I just need to practice and play more!

The healing process has begun!
