It would take me a year to learn the pieces some of you post and I’d be lucky to sound half as good even given a year. So, my hat is off to all the quality players who post recordings. I enjoy listening to your recordings as I play fetch with the dog at night or am just relaxing by the fire. I recently began to tune into the Piano Bar thread and that is fantastic also. Since we get to make our own rules for the challenge I’m going to attempt to avoid counting anything I learn in the Faber method books. I’m using supplemental pieces I can learn and play (in time, at tempo, sound decent) in about a week. However, I reserve the right to bend my own self imposed rule if I fall behind. January 2019 1. Come, Thou Almighty King (Religious Favorites - Bastien) 2. My Faith Looks Up To Thee (Religious Favorites - Bastien) 3. Morning Mood (Classic Themes by the Masters - Bastien) 4. Jesus Shall Reign (Religious Favorites - Bastien) 5. Ode to Joy (Classic Themes by the Masters - Bastien) In process but it’s going to take more than a week… Here comes the Sun (The Beatles Best: Easy Piano Dan Fox arranger). I look forward to the day when "easy piano" books become easy for me.

I really liked "Sad Autumn". All of the new pieces that you posted were beautiful, but I am drawn to the sad, haunting sound of this one. Nice playing!

It's been one of my favourites for a long time; took me 1.5 years to get to this point. It really was way too hard when I first learned it, but it's really nice to experience growing into a piece like that.

1. Milne, Elissa - Sqaure-O 2. Bartok, Bela - Mikrokosmos #23 3. Norton, Christopher - Driving Range
I've decided not to list "lesson" pieces from Faber as originally planned. Frankly Cherny and Mikrokosmos exercises are more deserving of the effort.
but think how good I could be in five years...

Facdo you make it look so easy! Well done. Thank you, I'm happy I finally found a way to record from that angle. Now I just need to not film it at a slight angle.

Thank you, I am practicing a lot to handle learning one short piece per week. I hope I can keep up with this progress for the entire year.
