HI! I'm RoBdOg1231 :)
I am 16 years old, and I love to play the piano.
My grandpa (on my dad's side) played in a blues band called dangerous goods. I first started playing the keyboard in grade 5, and started playing the piano and learning how to read music in year 7. I started wanting to learn the piano when I found some keyboard teaching books in my grandpa's box in which he kept all his music. It taught me the basics, such as where middle C is, and it got me interested in playing the piano. So far I've learnt and made videos of Samson by Regina Spektor, A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton and Fur Elise by Beethoven.
I currently practise in a pretty off routine, practising whenever I feel like it, in blocks of about 20 minutes. I usually just practices pieces that I want to play, occasionally doing scales.
I am motivated by my grandparents, who encourage me and praise me when I play, as well as wanting to strive to do my personal best in music.
Hi RoBdOg1231,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you practice a bit, but I think we're going to have to get you into a bit more of a routine. Really, you'll need to be practicing about 5 days a week, an hour per day to get through all the music you'll be learning!
Thanks for linking to your Grandpa's band - they sound really cool!
