I decided to try something outside of the book, so I chose a song that comes up on shuffle on my ipod all the time. Its called "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. I found the sheet music online from a piano blog and its surprisingly easy. Not easy enough that I'm fantastic at it already but I'm working on it! I think its a good piece to work on right now because most of the notes on the left hand are whole notes (yay! I'm still not fabulous at reading bass clef yet) and the right hand is mostly chords repeated as quarter notes that change with every measure. It actually resembles the last few things I was learning in the book, so its pretty convenient. Plus, I like the song and can sing along :). I practiced for about an hour last night in the music department and practiced probably about three hours last week (I'm determined..plus I don't have a lot of homework yet..). Hopefully I'll be able to play it for you on Thursday!

That's great that you're getting so much practice time in! And take it slow with the left hand- as you work more and more with it, it will all come together! See you this week.
