Hi. It's Joe.
I was kind of bummed about how piano practice went last Sunday. I know you were probably alarmed by this, readers.
But I did not get discouraged. I just took some time off from it (2 nights sans piano practice).
Tonight I sat down and practiced for an hour. I rocked. Hard. I think I just needed a break from it to let my brain absorb. I was pushing myself too hard.
I worked on a jazz standard called "At Long Last Love." Nothing too crazy, just some chords in the left hand and melody in the right.
I was keeping a Latin rhythm on the chords and trying to sequence out the melody rhythm against it.
It still needs work, but I was able to get the triplets in parts of the melody working with the straight chordal rhythm.
I thought you'd be pleased to know that all is well on the piano learning front. Been listening to a lot of Jazz Piano on Spotify at work too.
Tomorrow night I will probably do an hour of Welsh and get caught back up on that.
Time.
