Two Tempos

I accomplished my first major feat in my piano playing last night - keeping two different tempos, one with each hand.

Sunday when I first turned to this lesson in my book and attempted it, I was freaked. It wasn't clicking. And it sort of scared me to the point that I wondered if I could continue. Thankfully, when I tried again last night, I nailed it. I took one note at a time, playing very slowly, until I felt confident enough to speed it up a little. This is huge for me. It's like breathing for the first time. It feels so rewarding to conquer such an important part of what it means to play an instrument. I've still got a long way to go, but I once again have the confidence to do it.
