Over the course of the nine weeks I have learned all of the notes and their places on the keyboard and I have learned some of the chords. I have also learned one song and I am in the middle of learning another song. It was hard to meet with my mentor sometimes because of our conflicting schedules but we worked it out to where we met for one to two hours a week. I was also practicing on a piano whenever I was at my church (Every Sunday evening and on Wednesday evenings). The song was a challenge to learn but I eventually got it and can now play it from memory.
I have finally learned all of the notes and chords to the song and have them all memorized. As heard and seen in the video I forgot a couple of the notes but I figured them out and successfully played the song. This is only part of the song but the rest of it is played the same way.I have made a lot of progress over the course of a few weeks. I have learned all the notes on the piano and I have learned some of the chords. I can also read the notes on the sheet music without needing guidance from letters or numbers above it. Right now I'm working on a the song Before the Throne of God Above. I have most of the song memorized and can play the chords to it as well. I have been practicing it a lot. I still need quite a bit more practice, but it's coming along fairly well.So far I have learned all the notes and all of their places on the piano. I have also learned how to read the notes off of the sheet music without the notes being labeled in any way, including numbers and letters. I'm beginning to learn the chords but it is harder than I expected it to be. Me and my mentor have been meeting up for about an hour and a half to two hours a week and practicing. I have also been practicing for an extra hour or two in between our practices. I also practice playing the notes without a piano or keyboard.Over the course of nine weeks I will learn all of the notes, chords and everything else that I need to know in order to learn how to play the piano. Today I wasn't able to meet with my mentor because some stuff popped up and we weren't able to meet due to our schedules. But we are going to meet this Saturday and get started.
