Take pride in the fact that you have chosen to learn a skill and are willing to work to improve it. dk...I was in no way offended....I'm exactly 1 yr. into this and and well aware of my beginner status and loving every minute! I am teaching myself and therefore I only have y'all to ask my questions to and I appreciate any and all answers! Heck, I am still amazed that I can play anything at all on the piano....I don't give darn if its easy or not!!!  :::edit::: sorry, I hijacked this thread...now back to the regular programming!:::::
When I reach the place I'm going, I will surely know my way.

 OK...after reading this disturbing news...I will now just be picturing all of you in your underwear as I perform my piece. And then as I listen to each of you perform I will go ahead and picture you playing in your underwear......

How easy would you more experienced players say this is? I have no idea if I am playing like Grade 1 stuff or what... I just took a look at it. I don't know anything about Grade levels (I never worked with a formal curriculum), but I would call it advanced beginner, myself. It's definitely not early beginner, as it's got all those chords and not the most straightforward rhythm in the left hand. I want all of you to know that I will be playing my recital piece in a nun's habit.

Aw shucks...okay, I'll be doing my recital in full knight's armor.
Hey Bob...can you drop us any hints? About how many submissions have you gotten so far? [asks in a VERY casual tone of voice] Has anybody sent in the same piece, ha ha? [a tad less casually now] Er, nobody sent in the same thing as I did, did they?

I think there're about 30 so far and no, there are no duplicates.

In my part of the world, nuns don't look like little white donkeys (or even sound like them, except for that nun who brayed in my ear once). But it's all a matter of opinion!
