piano lessons

[hermione_jenz]

So ... I had my first piano lesson in what seems like eons (probably closer to a year or so). Nothing much happened but I feel that this is really the start of something interesting. I was really embarrassed not to have anything prepared except for a Brahms pieces that I had done so long ago (Intermezzo in A-Major??) and, of course, I sucked at it majorly because I did not practice conscientiously after my last lesson. It was also embarrassing not to be able to play scales properly. Seriously. I hated not being able to play another piece and it made me feel like a broken record (i.e., constantly playing the same thing over and over again). After playing for a bit, we decided to create a scale project starting from E major (please no laughing! I dunno why i couldn't get the fingering and the 4 sharps down correctly) -- scale, cadences, arpeggios and chords. Then we settled on a bit of Chopin (a waltz though I'm not sure which one yet), Bach (I believe it's a piece from the Well-Tempered Clavier) and Mozart (a sonata -- can't remember the KV number). Hopefully I'll be able to work in some practice time into my crazy schedule.
