Re: What About Playing 'Non-Music' ?

thanks guys.

bit of a worry perhaps..... '..tons of bad habits..' ?

Could you expand on that a bit so's I can perhaps watch out for them?

Not that it matters much in my case... I"m not a young man with a long career ahead of him so don't set off in the wrong direction..

So it doesn't much matter if I'm full of errors not going on display anyway... but errors that would cripple my own ability to amuse myself playing sheet music, well it'd be good to avoid them..

Right now I clearly see and feel the difference between my 'plinking' and 'proper' playing. I'm much, more more fluid. I can get notes i can't get when reading.. a world of difference.

And what I do is take the memory of that experience and try to take it over to the sheet music and play those pieces like that, with that kind of 'flair'.

So I think that much helps, at least.

But I must confess I really am very, very basic, very, very 'bad' even. I don't learn any music by heart at all. I know only one piece. I'm sure the more you know by heart the better. I'm sure that's true. But I don't do it.

I practice sporadically at best. I've had years - 5 years one time - when I do nothing at all. and when I am 'doing it' I pick it up for sort of a max of half an hour maybe twice or thrice a week.

I guess you could say I'm not really serious and not really trying. Fair enough. But I'm doing what I'm doing and I do like it. Is my excuse.

:)
