Moving on

Hands shaking, palms sweating he sits down, thinking to himself  'Fuck yeah'. That's how I felt after my 'performance' was over. Sure I was a nervous wreck minutes before but the feeling after surely can't be beaten. I had to play piano while a girl was singing along with the songs, 3 in total. It was all part of a project in which students at a course had to cook and serve a full meal for their parents and guardians. We had to play the songs during the main course, because nothing beats dining under the comfort of a soft piano melody. I believe some photo's were taken which I hope I'll recieve soon.

The songs didn't all go flawless however. During the second song I made some mistakes right at the start of the piano solo -.-, talk about timing. Also we had to stop midway during the 3rd song only to resume seconds later. Reason: the singer started laughing when someone started taking photo's of her. Was it terrible? Well no. Thankfully parents aren't the toughest audience to have and they loved us.

Overal I'm just happy that I said yes when I was asked to play and originally only had about 8 days to practice. It wouldn't have been strange to refuse in such a situation but I would've missed out on an amazing experience. Also I'll be having a lot of free time soon because my course ends in the coming days(more on that subject soon). This means I'll have a lot of time to improve my piano skills. I hope I'll improve drastically in the coming months so that when an opportunity such as this arises I'll be better equipped. It would be awesome to be able to play Comptine d'un Autre Etê perfectly. It's the piece I've been looking foward to since buying a keyboard and I'll start practicing it after I finish a song I'm working on now. Honestly, I can't wait.
