Piano

It has now been 5 months since I began to use John Thompson's second level piano book, and I have been able to almost completely master about half of the pieces. This means that my goal is so far still on track, as I am aiming on mastering all the pieces in this book by the end of this school year. Over the past month, my piano teacher has been asking me to go back and re-practice even the first few pieces that I learned, and by doing this, he can be sure that my piano playing is actually improving and that I will actually be able to play the pieces at a professional level.
Although it can be tedious at times to have to play the same few pieces over and over again, it actually gives me satisfaction to hear that I have improved a lot in the past half a year, and I can feel that I am currently a much better pianist than I was half a year ago. I actually enjoy practicing the piano more now than I used to and I think this is because I am better at it. My piano instructor would actually like me to perform in public in the coming months, and I hope that I do get an opportunity to do this!
