mslulu1) It is now officially time for me to clean the pile of clothes off of the bench for my keyboard so I can practice. Class is finally starting to get to the point where I dropped last time, and I don't know all these new songs.
2) My mom taught me piano from the time I was 3, up until I lost interest around age 12. What I'm discovering now is one of three things: I was either too young to get it, too disinterested to get it, or mom just plain sucked at teaching theory. I keep coming across things in my class that are familiar to me, but all of a sudden they're making sense.

I've always known how to play those notes, but there was no coherency to it. It was just notes. Other things on the music that I've never really acknowledged (p, mf, crescendo, etc...) this is all stuff that I know mom taught me, but putting it all together and making it work, this part is all new and interesting, and dare I say, fun.
