If Sergio Tiempo Wasn’t Almost My Parent’s Age I’d So Marry Him.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who congratulated me on my recent news :) And, yes, I know!! I STILL haven’t been regularly updating my blog. Well today I went out and did something so I could make a blog post.

As you may or may not know, I am a pianist. I took piano lessons when I was 5 and quit when I was 6. From then on I taught myself. I decided to pick up lessons again once I got to college because that was the only way to gain access in the practice rooms. Since then, I have improved exponentially. Lately I have been practicing for 5 or more hours every week. I haven’t posted a video of any progress in forever but here a quick blurb of my practice session from earlier on today:

I’ve been working on the song for a solid two weeks (Chopin’s Prelude No.16). This video is roughly 50% of the song and it’s not up to tempo as it needs to be about 1.5X faster as in the following video of Sergio Tiempo.

  • good luck with the piano learning! i have three older brothers and they were all fortunate enough to have piano lessons, however, when it got to me, my parents decided it wasn't worth it... :( i know how to play the recorder...and no one wants to hear that! congrats by the way on your relationship!

  • Beautiful music! I played the viola for a long time. I was never good at the piano. My hands don't like to move at separate speeds and do separate things. Haha. I have the same problem with dancing :)

    Wow, that is so amazing! I'm so impressed that you've gotten so good all on your own initiative during school. I've been wanting to learn guitar for quite awhile, but keep thinking I'm too "old" to start something new. You've given me inspiration to start some lessons!
