First practice session

Along with the keyboard I bought three books:

ABRSM Grade 1 Piano Pieces
ABRSM Grade 1 Piano Scales & Broken Chords
ABRSM Grade 1 Piano Specimen Sight Reading Tests

Having set up my keyboard and played with sounds for a few seconds I started to start at the very beginning - C Major scale over two octaves, hands seperately. Right hand was fine and already up to speed (a moderate 60bpm) My left hand... I need to work on! I need to internalise the fingering and develop more control. At the moment there is too much variation in dynamic level when moving from one note to the next.

Having warmed up I started working on the first few bars of William Duncombe's Gavot. Reading the notes is fine, playing the notes is almost fine but I really need to focus on maintaining "correct" fingering so I don't tie myself in knots or worse still run out of fingers in the middle of a phrase. Hopefully this will work itself out.

I've done fifteen minutes and had a little rest - I'm heading back to it now!
