Work Less, Get More Done
Cal Newport's Slow Productivity argues that doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality can make you more productive, with less work. I think he's mostly right!

    I just left a friend’s house after a get together where I found she played and two of my favorite songs to boot! Yiruma’s River Flows In You and Ludovico Einuadi’s Nuvole Bianche. Seeing them played in front of me was inspiring and I wondered, could I do that? Seeing your video shows me that with work, I could learn to play those songs at 45. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Very interesting channel. I am pretty much like you, without the success you had mastering many interests. I am on my way though. Out of curiosity. So you learn piano just 25 mins per day? I started learning bass, and devote more or less 30 mins per day splitting my studies in 10 minute bouts. I wonder if this is enough? I have people telling me that 15 mins is enough and nother people telling me that I should do 4 hours a days s:.

    Awesome dude. There’s a few issues though. You need to approach this the way you would bjj or chess. You don’t do the next move without setting up the first. Learning the nuances to these pieces is vital to truly playing them. Every annotation and dynamic is important. Practicing without them is a detriment to how they sound. You develope inconsistent rhythm and timing and dynamics. Learning to read and understand is a major role in this. Otherwise you are relying on your ear to decode what is intended to be played. I believe few people have that ability, although many say they do and their playing says otherwise. It’s far more than copying note for note. It’s very important to slowly go measure by measure slowly and play it perfectly slow making sure to absorb the staccatos etc, then add 1 note/beat. Keep at it because you are doing well. Just keep this in mind. It will bring a ton of life to your playing.

    Reading sheet music was always a problem for me. Read music at a 3rd grade level at best. Even with 7 years of band orchestra and marching band experience as a drummer. Never had a problem keeping tempo. Taught myself piano during lunch time my senior year in high school. 45 minutes a day for 5 days a week for almost a year. Even 7 years later I could go through a music sheet in 2 hours and memorize it & perform it. I got up to 38 songs memorized in my head. This time I will pay more attention to learning to read better up to an acceptable level. 2nd time around at keyboards.

    I prefer Reading Books rather than on E-Books. Ah yes, I did look through comment and mostly people prefer e-books. But I can't really focus. I prefer physically reading books because I had a hard time, Focusing. Like its the same experience with the pandemic covid where I have to study online, i was struggling really bad, my grade went so bad and fail. I can't focus. Everyone has their own way to read books as long as we read and enjoy that just it.

    I've been in awe of piano players since i was a child. Always had a keyboard and went through phases of learning a few pieces of music to memory, then life gets in the way, and the keyboard gets put away for a few months. I've finally decided to get it out again now, and my children are interested in it and love hitting the keys, too. I've started to learn to read music and learn new pieces that are at my level rather than attempting something way too hard like I usually do, and im having a lot of fun with it I have to admit. My biggest fear is hand independence, I can play simple stuff with both hands, but I'll be damned if i can ever get them to play together, lol.
