I did my in-class presentation on Thursday and I think I did really well. I learned a lot from the Google Project. I learned how much I like the piano and how difficult it is to learn a new instrument. The hardest parts of this project for me were learning to read two lines at once, learning how to read bass clef, and playing a different rhythms on each hand at the same time. Even though it took me a while to learn how to do each of these things I finally did get it and it made me very proud of myself! I've gained a new respect for piano players as well. I really enjoyed doing this project and I plan on continuing with the piano. I like how I can play an entire song by myself and have it be a full song with the bass and the melody! I really enjoyed this project and I hope we continue the Google Project next semester as well!

I am still working up to a faster speed. The class presentations are next week on Tuesday and Thursday! I am really nervous! (but excited at the same time). Having the tape off does help me to play faster so I think that not relying on it is a good thing. I've started thinking about what music I can work on next semester as well, I think I should pick out only two though and just play whatever I feel like when I am not working on those two.
