Ha! Are you me? I'm also learning to play the piano for the last 2 years. I play almost the easiest pieces of J.S.B like minuets or simpler arias and sarabande.

Ha! Are you me? I'm also learning to play the piano for the last 2 years. I play almost the easiest pieces of J.S.B like minuets or simpler arias and sarabande. Just like you, I printed the sheets out and annotate the heck out of it: notes, fingering. And just like you, every new piece is a relearn from scratch!. I think I can live with it. I am happy with what I could do now. It's better than the Synthesis (Guitar Hero of pianos) where I didn't know the notes at all.
I'm forcing myself to read sheet now and it could be taking longer since I am not practicing hours a day. I find myself often phrase (F-A-C-E or All-Good-Boys-Deserved-Fudge).
Overall, learning this new hobby is a changing my life. I just discovered the entire new universe of language that has been used for hundreds of years. The down side now is that it is pretty depressing to listen to any of the current pop culture music again.
- Waterluvian 5y agoOne thing that’s helping me a lot is spending five minutes many times a day with a $2 app called Piano Tutor. It’s a game simply presents a note on a staff and you need to press the right key. About an hour of it so far and I’m way way faster at reading music.
