I’m learning to play the piano.

I took lessons as a child and again as an adult, but I haven’t retained much. So it’s like starting all over again.

I’m using the Sudnow Method. I took lessons from David Sudnow in the early 80s in NYC and really enjoyed learning. He was a unique guy with a unique talent. His method is to play the piano without learning to read music.

I’ll try some other methods later, but will stick with this one for awhile as I tackle scales, chords, and basic theories.

Right now I’m practicing and relearning the scales. Things I learned previously are coming back, but my fingers fumble like a beginner. Though, I’m quite enjoying it and am not rushing through it.

One of the things I love about the Sudnow Method is I get to study the great jazz pianists and am encouraged to learn jazz standards.

The first song in the lessons to learn is Misty. I may start playing that in the next week or so with a goal to finish it in 3 to 6 months, but for now I’m focused on practicing my scales.
