Someone asked me if I liked practicing the piano, and I had to think about the answer. I do and I don't. I like to practice in a way, because it's fun to be able to play something, even if it's slower than it should be played, because I have to play slowly so I don't hit wrong notes.. On the other hand, I don't play well, and any improvement I make is so small as to be almost invisible, so it's frustrating.
I can play okay now to accompany the primary kids, if I only play with one hand. Even just playing the melody line can be tricky, because if I play a wrong note, I can't stop to correct it, I have to keep going because they're singing!
I would like to think that someday I will be able to just sit down and play effortlessly, at least when it comes to primary songs, but I kind of doubt it. I might be starting too old, and I don't have enough years ahead of me to learn to play well! Maybe I need to practice more!
