Now, you’re probably what’s interesting about that. Yes Wendy, we know you play the piano. You play for a choir, you teach the piano, you accompany students for exams. Blah blah blah.

Today I actually played for myself. I pulled some music out of the cupboard that I used to play a lot. Classical music. And I read through it. I never do this anymore. It is a habit that became lost in the last few years. If I couldn’t sight read something I didn’t have time for it. It was only after the wonderful Miriam at Saskia’s asked if I would record some music for her that I “made” time today to play.

Here’s what I discovered though. I need to do some proper practice. Pieces that I could rip through without any trouble were a little bit less than wonderful. But I did record a few things. The recorder’s settings were a little out of whack so there’s some static.

Mendelssohn

Satie

And I have set myself some goals for the week with piano.
