Y02W27 Review 78 - Background to New Piece "Song of the Pine Tree"

[@airpac1873]

Hi Shane, I am curious. You mentioned that you had to stop on an earlier piece because of wrist issues (pain?) Anyway, If I got that correct... have you had a previous wrist injury? What kind of stretching exorcises are you doing before you practice? Have you allowed yourself ( or do you have enough time in your day-to-day schedule) for any unscheduled (Unplanned/Impromptu ) Practice sessions in your planning routine? Also, if I may ask, do you work from home (and/or, do you have access a keyboard throughout the day?)

Hi Robin - Thanks for your concern, but rest assured I have not got wrist issues. I probably wasn't particularly clear about the selection, so I've done another quick video which will hopefully clarify. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWxZZl-fbBll80 As for impromptu practicing etc., I use Jane's piano, and she has quite a lot of students, so there are I have to fit my practice around her busy teaching schedule, which actually works reasonably well. It does mean however that practices are reasonably structured, although being at home all day, I do have some flexibility, but just going in for 5m here and there wouldn't really work for me.

@ShanesPianoJourney I understand. You really don't need a piano to practice everything, in fact it is provent fact especially for adult learners that receiving information thru different sensory types, improves memory retention. Sence I've been working this way, I've noticed a significant improvement in my memory recollection, and that is saying a lot at 71...

@@airpac1873 Hi Robin, did you get cut off in your comment there? I'm not sure what you're trying to say
