I have started learning keyboard! Last weekend, we had Kevin start his keyboard lessons, and I also succumbed to my long time craving for learning music. And, 2-3 hrs/wk was all I had to spend on it. Sounds too good isn’t it!
Today was the first class. I used to play by hearing, but always wanted to be able to read notes and play in a formal way, especially to play the hymnals.
The 1 hour session was very interesting. The tutor was very knowledgeable and professional. She quickly understood where I stand and taught me the basics. I did some fingering practices for G and F clefs. Getting the keypress synchronized with the beat was tricky, but it came to me after several tries. Reading music and playing seems to be a mechanical activity. Atleast that is my initial observation. Let’s see how it goes!
I am surprised that you are managing to do this inspite of your ‘busy’ schedule. – Priya :-)
