#5 Practice Makes Patience
When I think about this piano journal, I think about capturing every facet of it. I want to capture the moments of flow, the moments of polished composition, and even more, the moments of practice.
When I was first learning how to play the piano, I would refuse to watch any YouTube video; I would refuse piano lessons; I would refuse music books. My thinking was: If a child can sit and absorb and learn an instrument, then so could I.
So that’s how I practiced. Day after day, I sat in front of a piano hitting buttons until something sounded good. Then I’d more of that, then I’d try something new, then I’d do more of that.
First it was one finger at a time, then one hand, then a couple fingers on each hand, and so on. Whatever sounds good, I keep playing; whatever doesn’t, I try to learn from it.
It’s been a wonderful journey, and I still enjoy just sitting down with no agenda—one question in mind: what sounds good?
