It's not the great thing but I wanted to try and play with my right hand (I'm too discoordinated to play with both hands, I just learned this in half and hour)
gotta be serious with my practice like i am on @studentbyday if i want to improve enough to take lessons again 😤 sight-reading starts tmr... 🙈 i'm tired (note to self to practice first thing when i'm most awake next time).
🎹 technique (30 mins):
f#m scales (natural/harmonic/melodic) (16ths at quarter note = 60-76 bpm, but at 76 it sometimes gets sloppy)
played around w the beginning of chopin's andante spianato bc i couldn't get it out of my head all day (just the very beginning...which i can barely manage to play passably well 🙃). also barely practiced the next line of nocturne op. 55 no. 2 (i didn't even read the whole line).
so this is my pooky head a week ago monday on the pooky detuned piano which the pedal doesn't work that nobody uses in the auditorium of the engineering college of my uni
ehhh
based on the piano arrangement by aivi (formerly aivitran)
lowkey wanna write a story where Toji,having the crazy body that he has (heavenly restriction,all that) doesn't actually die but ends up in a different universe (multiverse ftw), y/n's universe where there are no jujutsu sorcerers,no curses but other supernatural stuff exists
perhaps I can finally write smth with decent relatable y/n who doesn't stammer or lose her head when faced with a (hot traumatized) man,is basically a tired-af level-headed woman who acts like a stressed out fifty y.o. (she's in her late twenties lol.)
There’s something incredibly intimate about having the inner workings of your favorite instrument sitting in your lap, which is part of why I love this instrument so much - she’s delicate enough that she needs constant care, and playing her means knowing how to tune and maintain her, and therefore how to hold the keyboard in your lap and fix little problems like (in this case) a couple stuck hammers. Purely modern pianists don’t have to understand their instruments the way I do this one, and I love how much she’s taught me <3
well that escalated quickly... i'm not used to baroque music structure at all - melody switches to the left hand at bar 7 and whenever i wanna ornament a note (even if in the left hand), my brain automatically thinks right hand AND THEN in bar 9 (too soon imo 😭) the melody starts switching between left and right and left and right and my brain has to keep switching modes and there's like, different phrasings going on in each hand (which can ALSO be confusing to figure out when there's no phrase lines) and do you feel my confusion? 😂 it's pretty tho, once i figure out how to coordinate my hands 👐 (i'm not there yet tho XD there's soooooo many levels of coordinated and i'm at level 1 XD)
the menu for today: study physics, do math homework, maybe also some notes for history (i may have missed a class or two)
on the other hand, i have to memorise the other half of debussy’s ballade and fix up some technical difficulties (page 8, iykyk), do some well needed work on my sonata and also the etude (liszt is nOT liszting atm).
a little thought: how tf am i supposed to practice all of my repertoire every day? i am playing five pieces (aside from the ones above i am also banging my head at the wall that is bach’s wtk, and trying to not bang my head at the wall that is an expressionist composer from my country). i practiced for four hours, i repeat, FOUR hours yesterday (i normally do 2-3, but that’s just because i genuinely don’t have the time), and only managed to do technical exercises (hanon is… something else), the etude, some debussy and the third movement of the sonata. what about bach? and the expressionist dude? and the other two movements of my sonata??
