Playing the Piano - Part 10 - Everyone's a Critic

My worse critic is our dog bubbles. When I first started playing he’d start shaking and sat beside the front door, looking like any minute he was going to soil himself. This week, after playing since May… a breakthrough! He fell asleep while I was practicing. He’s an old guy now (10), and we rescued him from the spca when he was just a pup. He’s never snapped and is always happy (he's smiling in the photo).

I can play three or four songs and I am currently going through a piano instruction book “Learn to Play the Piano in 10 Easy Lessons” (sure you can). I guess the book wouldn’t sell if it was titled “You Might Learn to Play Piano with these 10 Complex Lessons and a lot of Practice Every Day for a Year!” I looked over some of my posts and realized how far I’ve come in the last month. I also realized my sheet music height needs to be lower… so I’m going to figure out some sort of attachment for my piano stand.
