Usually being a beginner to the world of blogging, I bypass the daily prompts.
Today the suggested prompt word ‘harmonize’ sparked interest. It’s a word I’ve become used to hearing the past few months since resuming piano lessons two months ago.
Although away from the music instrumental world for a period of time, I returned with a passion fueled with desire to learn more and complete both of my Adult All-In-One Course Level 1 books.
Previously I had gone off course when I requested to learn certain artists’ tunes and of course I can’t forget those beautiful Christmas carols.
I chose without the instructor’s request to review the manual page by page starting with Page 1. This extra-curricular activity already paid off in the short term when this past week I mastered quite a difficult piece over a two-week period.
The instructor’s smile and input were a most heartwarming reward for all the effort I’d put into self-discipline practice.
Harmony in piano is defined as playing notes together. It accompanies melody which is made up of notes played separately. I attained my goal to play both hands together in perfect harmony.
This senior citizen is quite pleased with herself and looking forward to the next challenge amidst the 30 pages shy of completion of that first level book.
In life one is never too old to learn.
So glad to hear you’re doing this! I took piano lessons as an adult too. I don’t play much anymore, but I passed my love for piano onto my daughter who plays everyday. She is quite good even though she doesn’t read music. It’s always good to learn new things and certainly never too late!
