One of my early goals with piano was to be good enough to play for family at Christmas. So I ordered a Christmas songbook. It arrived Tuesday. I started learning "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" the same day.
I learned the right-hand part within an hour or so. Had most of the left-hand part within another day. Putting the two hands together took until today, and now I can play the whole song.
There are 30 songs in the book. I don't plan to learn them all by Christmas, but at least I can have several ready to play.
I relearned the major scales this week. I'm practicing them in the order of the Circle of Fifths to help connect the dots (and for memory recall). I practice them forward and backward with my eyes closed. I also practice finding the first note of the scales with my eyes closed. I have a theory that I can train my piano skills like I trained my computer keyboarding skills as a kid. So far, it seems like it's working.
Overall, I increased my hours of practice from like 1-2 per week back up to 2 hours per day minimum. Most days were 3 - 4.5 hours.
My daughter starts pre-school Monday, so I'll have 3 hours of completely uninterrupted practice time in the afternoons.
