Piano

I have a tutor who I see every two weeks or so. I'm doing approximately 30 mins a day and more at the weekend - nothing like enough for what I'm playing really but I don't have any time.

It can be very exhausting and frustrating - I'm sure I've lost a bit of sanity on my current work piece - a Beethoven sonata, the ubiquitous Tempest. I'm going through phases of liking and hating it but at least it's always a good prelude (npi) to jumping on the exercise bike as I'm then warmed up and ready

Piano can be so rewarding but sometimes it's just about gritting your teeth and working through a piece, hoping that the results will justify the means.

Other than that, just reading really.
