There was a similar thread on That Other Forum...it was started in 2010 and has almost 11k posts! I thought it would be nice to have something like that here...

Great to hear you found a teacher that works for you! I'm sure your progress will greatly speed up under this teacher.

Pallas

BartK She seemed shocked at my current speed, so I'm honestly not sure if I'll be speeding up, or how I'll even tell if I've sped up! Perhaps if I'm able to make it through Alfred 2 in 6 months instead of 11? I have no idea what it'll look like once we're working together, but I look forward to finding out.

Pallas adult learners are so much more disciplined and focused than children! Even if your progress doesn't speed up, at least you'll be learning everything with better technique which will serve you very well as you progress 🙂

Hi Pallas, how great that you found a teacher who seems to be a very good match for you!

I just finished Piano Adventures Level 4 (equivalent to RCM grade 2/3) and started on PA Level 5.

Between that and working on a bunch of RCM 3 repertoire pieces and etudes, I feel like I've learned a lot this year. I can't say exactly what I've learned, other than working on PA technique exercises with some impossibly fast tempos and pieces with an expanding range of key signatures. I've just noticed lately that that pieces are getting easier to learn.

This is the best feeling! 😃

JB_PT She needs to come up with a cool catch phrase for her practice army.

The Molybdenums.

Just very inspired by so many people sliding into this efficient way of learning😁

You guys are much more creative than I am. 🙂 I seem to have an odd mental block when it comes to making up names for anything.

Today I finally got a satisfactory recording of Aria (Theme from La Traviata). It is the last piece in the second section of Faber Adult Piano Adventures Classics Book 1. There are 12 short pieces in that section. In a little over one month, I have all of them learned and recorded. Yay!

Next up, section 3, 11 classic pieces in the key of G major.

Pallas

iternabe That was really pretty.
