Day 2

Today I only did a 3-minute finger exercise in G Major. That was before I shower and realised I haven't done my practice for today. I ended up playing Minecraft instead. Should I feel bad about it? No, feeling bad won't help at all. Although having a learning goal would help. The reason I fell for Minecraft was because I have some goals I want to achieve in the game. I didn't set any goals for piano, on the other hand. I was just aimlessly following through the adult piano book. There are some song books I want to go through, plus a weekly Reddit piano challenge on r/piano. Perhaps from tomorrow I should start tackling those, since I usually find lesson books boring.

Day 1

I resumed where I left off with "Adult Piano Adventures" by Nancy and Randall Faber, and dubiously played some American fiddle tune, a Musette and a simplified theme by Mozart in G Major. At first I was going to video record every single day as my daily progress entry to the project, but I haven't even gotten my camera properly set up. I don't have a camera stand to face my piano seat properly, nor do I have any plans for any post-editing the video recordings. Plus, doing that every single day seems nasty. I imagine I'll spend more time reporting my progress instead of the actual piano practice itself. So I'll fall back to this humble text post as my form of daily update, and only post videos every weekend.
