Piano

I finally feel, that when I'm in my zone and not nervous, I have become a good piano player. Last week, I had a small epiphany of a walking baseline from the root down to the fifth. I tried the same pattern in all keys. Suddenly, I felt with practice I had a new tool to improvise. I thought I could learn more patterns like this to complete my skills and play more by ear. Essentially, I'm learning music and connecting the dots in my music theory and practice. Here at Asilomar, I enjoy playing the piano for 30-60 minutes each day. It's a refreshing break, a mental challenge, and an emotional joy when I feel I am playing well.
