3 piano plays

 Had a little fun today, messing around with chords and interval jumps. 

Mad World

 It is a mad world out there... 

And I'm a bit rusty

Back on the piano

 Thought I'd give it a try today. See if I could manage it. It went well but I'm terribly rusty. 

Guter Mond

 I took a recorder piece and played it on piano, working out my own LH part.

German Dance

A Schubert piece in The Classic Piano Course book 1

Piano times 2

 A hand independence exercise, played with my eyes shut, and a bit of piano fun that I came up with.

World Piano Day

 Happy World Piano Day 2026!

"Albinoni Adagio"

 A snippet of the misnamed Albinoni Adagio, actually written by musicologist Remo Giazotto in 1954. I need to find the sheet for it so I can play the rest of it.

Czerny op.599 no.1

 Played at speed, with the metronome, and with repeats. Was a bit of a workout!

Working on a Schubert piece

 A piece in the Carol Barrat book I've been working on, a German Dance by Franz Schubert. A lot of work and practise needed.

A snippet of My Life

 Probably my favourite song by Billy Joel. I don't have sheet music for it so I had to figure it out myself.

Czerny study

 Settled on learning the first Czerny study, op 599 no.1. Even if I go no further I have a nice piece I can use as a warm up!

Lean on Me

 I was messing around playing melody in the left hand over RH chords, and I ended up playing a part of Lean On Me by Bill Withers.

Serenade

 A guitar piece called Serenade I magically transferred to piano.

Donna Donna Donna

 This one took a while. Those octave jumps in the left hand are tough!

Oktober

 A little something for spooky season, pedal held down throughout 

Carnival

 A piece from The Guitarist's Way played on piano with my own middle section.

Jazzy skit

 A little something I came up with

Cradle Song

Another piece from the Carol Barratt book. Learned and recorded in one sitting.

Scarborough Fair

 Scarborough Fair from Carol Barratt classic piano course book 1. Learned to play it in 2 days, the shortest time to learn a piece from this book!
