Slowly working my way through practice pieces on the piano

[conuly]

just like when I was a kid, but systematically. It's all "ugh I hate this it's impossible" forever then suddenly "no, wait, it's doable" then "okay, time to move on".

One advantage I have over childhood is first, I took the time to get things in between "beginning material" and "yes, this is for the person who knows how to play piano!" but also I can go to Youtube if I have any doubts.

Mmm, a fair bit of my practice piano playing is very much at a far slower pace than it ought to be.

As always, thank you for the links! I forget to say it as often as I should.
