Today is the first day I’ve put my fingers onto my keyboard since a month and a half. Indeed, the last time I played the piano was right before heading to Australia. Will it help me improve my skills ? I doubt it, but I must say that it did not prevent me from learning a few more things since September 2011. More importantly, it was not my first break of the year. Indeed, I almost did not play the piano for 5 or 6 weeks around December and January. Perhaps I need these little breaks. I remember that I improved a lot after that in February and March, learning \u00ab\u00a0Comptine d’un autre \u00e9t\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb by Yann Tiersen. And now that the piano year is close to its end (piano year being the 10 months where I’ve got kind of a teacher to help me), I’ve got to motivate myself in order to finish learning the piece of music I’ve been working on for two or three lessons. The song ? \u00ab\u00a0La valse d’Am\u00e9lie\u00a0\u00bb, again by Yann Tiersen. Yeah, I love his compositions and they are perfect for a beginner like me. But don’t worry. I am not playing only Tiersen’s songs. I learnt also this year a very nice composition by Bach (who is this guy ? \ud83d\ude09 ) called \u00ab\u00a0Prelude n\u00b01 in C-major\u00a0\u00bb from the \u00ab\u00a0Well-tempered Clavier\u00a0\u00bb. By the way, I learnt a few amazing things about Bach musical skills in Hofstadters book, \u00ab\u00a0Godel, Escher, Bach\u00a0\u00bb<\/a> which is worth reading for everyone ! Next piece of music for the summer ? Adele’s song \u00ab\u00a0Someone like you\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
