YIPPEEE a long while ago i printed out the sheet music for solfegietto but i lost motivation to learn it but i picked it back up about a week ago and im well over halfway through!! and i feel so awesome thats all 👍🏻👍🏻

#literally not to ventpost but piano has been such a difficult thing for me not because its hard in itself but rather because i took piano #lessons for 7 years and i never seemed to make any progress and my piano teacher would make me do the same pieces for months on end #so i ended up doing my grade 1 exam (which i hated) and then when i got a new teacher he skipped me to grade 2-3 without the exam #the entire time i got SO bored of piano like i really hated it for a long time and thought i was musically illiterate #but then i picked up guitar and realised im actually shithot at it and i learn really really quickly when i enjoy what im doing #so after FOREVER of not touching the piano i decided to take it up again and play my own stuff etc etc and im honestly so much happier #if you had told 15 y/o me that i'd be ENJOYING playing classical piano AND SIGHT READING SHEET MUSIC i wouldve mauled you then and there #like do i regret taking lessons? not really! i probably wouldnt be able to read sheet music this well if i hadnt taken them #but i do wish i had A) found a better teacher B) commit to it more and not be so stroppy about it and C) actually realised that progress is #not a number and cant be measured with grades and exams #anyway. yeah #thank you peter tork and bob dylan amen....#emi's meandering jotts
