This is the first week of my S.T.E.P. Project! Later tonight/tomorrow I will add a video of me playing the assigned pieces. Obviously with any first lesson on an instrument I learned some of the basics–finger positions, the treble and bass clefs, and well as the concepts of cords (base cord, 1st inversions, and second inversions). So far this has been a great experience and I am excited to continue forward! This coupled with my MGPI internship has been enough to keep me busy all summer. This week I got to play some easy tunes like Ode to Joy, and When the Saints Go Marching In. I still have to figure out how to upload videos, as my Aunt and Uncle do not have wifi, and the upload speeds at McDonalds are nothing short of painful, but I will keep you posted!
Here is the video! I took this two nights ago–I promise I have improved for my lesson tomorrow. It is surprising hard to record myself too! Playing for the camera is a little weird but I guess I will have to get used to it.
