I am just beginning to appreciate how difficult learning to play a paino , or any musical instrument can be. I have to hand it to youngsters who master their instrument, reading music etc, learning music theory etc., it really takes dedication and practicing all the time.
I started piano lessons a year ago and am a bit slow, some piece are easier than others, but now I hace reached lessons that are a bit more ambitious and really stretches me. I get so despondent If I am slow and can't play as I ought to. Last weeks lesson was a bit of a disaster, as no matter how I practiced I still was not playing fluently enough, It was a piece with double notes and flats, I'll be glad when Im finished that excercise. I have to learn two octave scales without looking! I thought, who are you kidding! But it is achievable going over it about a hundred bleeding times.
I've got a handle on the next piece I have to learn already so that has cheered me up a bit.
I was thinking of chucking it in, but my tutor encourages me to stick at it as I have made progress.
Though I haven't taken Grade 1.
