Slow Progress

Started playing Cockles and Mussles, a sing I've never heard before. I'm really proud of myself because I can play the right hand without looking down at the keyboard. I've pretty much memorized all the notes for the right hand. I've about halfway memorized the left hand. I find that I know the notes that I'm supposed to hit with my left hand but its harder for me to move my fingers smoothly. I guess this is because I'm right handed.

Happy Birthday

Worked on Happy Birthday this week. Trying real hard to look at the sheet music and play note by note. I hate it though because it's harder, I can play it better just by memorizing which key to hit versus actually knowing which key I'm playing. But I guess that's not really learning.

Jingle Bells

Working on learning jingle bells. Got the right hand down, and the left, playing them both at the same time has proved to be a challenge.
