The Piano Path

as far as the keys go

Take piano as far as deliberate practice allows โ€” technique, repertoire, and theory on a steady schedule, with recordings marking the distance covered.

A copy carries over only the public parts you see here โ€” the owners' private files never leave their own vaults.

๐Ÿšง Draft โ€” not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional โ€” someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.

Practice log

One entry per session. Date heading, then a line per thing worked on and what actually happened โ€” not "practiced scales" but "C and G clean, F still catches on the thumb-under". Short days count; skipping the log doesn't.

  • Warm-up โ€” C, G, D major scales, two octaves, hands separate. G is fluent; D's right-hand fingering still needs thought.
  • Technique โ€” C major arpeggio, hands together, slow. The wrist tightens by the fourth repeat โ€” stop before it does.
  • Current piece (learning) โ€” first eight bars, right hand only. Bars 5โ€“6 have the awkward stretch; isolated them, ten slow reps.
  • Sight-reading โ€” one easy new piece, once through, no stopping to fix. The point is reading ahead, not perfection.

Next time: left hand on those same eight bars; then try hands together at half speed.
