So on vacation I’m in Santa Barbara, with no keyboard or piano with me. Last few days have been playing Pianoteq with my thumb.
Had to keep it simple, and focus more on notes and ear training (since I play 100% by ear). Since playing on a phone is hard to do much, I challenged myself with playing the following basic songs, in all 12 keys: Fur Elise; Bach Prelude; Autumn Leaves. Doing what I can with two fingers.
Obviously I’ll lose some dexterity muscle memory in playing a piano, but I’m keeping my relative pitch, and ear, sharp. Also, whatever I’m hearing playing on the radio, at stores etc I’m playing along to it as well.
I’m glad that I’m still keeping my piano brain sharp! 🙂
