I haven’t posted in a while, but I’m continuing with my piano lessons. Things are going well and my teacher is fantastic. I plan to take the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) Level 5 test this spring, with the ultimate goal of Level 6 by the following spring.

Walked instead of driving

DoggyMommy, Laura, and I walked to Intermezzo on Tuesday instead of driving, which is good b/c short distance trips put out lots of pollution!
Going well!
2 years ago
I’ve now had three piano lessons and things are going really well. I love playing and practicing and my teacher has been very helpful in directing me. I keep my practice schedule offline in a notebook for my teacher so it’s not available here on 43things, but I’ve been trying to practice as much as possible. I probably have been averaging 5 hours per week. I wish I had time to do more, but I have at least been able to see steady improvement so that’s gratifying.
