I did it! I thought I played it at a good tempo but everyone was singing so slowly, that I had to slow it down considerably. But, I don't feel bad... small success one at a time!

Congratulations piano4!

Actually, I can probably say that better


CONGRATULATIONS PIANO4!

I'm late, I know...still going, at least an hour a day.

I just "celebrated" my 1 year aniversary with a piano teacher. I'm impress that she's put up with me for a whole year. Hopefully, I'll be doubly impressed next year.

Bloody good job mate, I bet you've improved SO much and are enjoying it even more. Congrats!

Thank You Ivory Dreams! It's a good feeling. And Congratulations l'dad! That is also an awesome good feeling! Keep it going1

Still going strong despite starting late in the year. Have the following "work" travel booked so I'll need to be excluded from those days..

October
20th, 21st & 22nd

November
3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th

Going strong here, too, even though I haven't had time to update my log. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with a very squeaky sustain pedal right now, which is a little annoying! But my technician is coming out ASAP to fix it. I just try to ignore it while I'm practicing!

i'm keeping on also. Work and grad course are keeping me a bit busy, but I will have time this evening. Beth K my sustain pedal squeaked on my clavinova and the dealer told me to use some WD 40. It worked...no more squeak! Take care everyone:-)

You can drop me off the list...lately too preoccupied with other things and have even suspended lessons for the short term...still tryin to pick myself up by my boots...lol

thanks for takin the time....

Ok....hang in there...

Take care MonsterMH!

Dang it! I forgot to practice Saturday. I'm out, but I'm still pretending I'm in because the change in my life has been amazing since I've been practicing every single day. Looking forward to next year's list.

I'm still iin so far! Especially since I am learning some pieces to play for various programs. Have some time this evening!

I'm out.....
Please take me off, Mark.....

However, look out....2009 is right around the corner!

Ok...see you in 2009!

Hey Mark,

So far so good. Still practicing. It's taken all year (I started lessons back in Oct 07), but I think I'm finally getting the hang of this hobby.



Back in January, I'm sure I didn't really know what it would take to practice every day for a year.

Man, it's been a real journey, at times elated by achieving a goal, at times wondering if my fingers had minds of their own, at times sitting on the piano bench, staring at the keys and wondering...why?

Of course, we all know why...

Any who, the year is not over yet and there are a lot of potential distractions during the upcoming holiday season.

I'll keep plunking away.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Way to go LD, I know how much it takes to get that playing in each and everyday. But it really helps you reach you playing goals in the long term.

...before you know we will be signing up for 2009 MOYD...

Amen to that. I know I'm later to the game in 2008 than most of you but man, ensuring I cram in daily practice has really helped a lot.

Of course I'm looking forward to 2009 also and the only reason this is possible for me is to be allowed exclusions for work/personal travel. Every other day = fair game

I love the MOYD idea. I'm still in. I probably would have practiced ALMOST every day....... But this is solid motivation.
