Welcome back!

This week, I was a lot better at practicing the keyboard consistently. It definitely helped that I had less homework in my other courses this week.

For the song I looked at this week, I chose “Mia and Sebastian’s Theme” from one of my favourite movies, La La Land. I wanted to learn a song that had no lyrics and was only piano, so I chose this one!

I had to use the playback speed feature on YouTube to slow it down to 0.5 and then after some practice, I was able to move up to 0.75. The playback speed feature has been really helpful in my journey of speeding up my ability to identify keys. It is just really nice to be able to slow the song down and make my own pace.

Here is the link to the song:

Unlike previous weeks, this upcoming week, I want to keep practicing this song until I can play it at its normal speed. I often get bored of songs quickly, but I want to stick this one out to better my learning.

Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!
