Rocking the Blues at Age 68

I am making great strides in re-learning how to play the Piano. I am playing better than I ever had in my life. In short,
I am finally rocking the blues! Not bad for a 68-year-old dude.

 

 

 

Recently I cruised through Blues Standards, and I am working through 100 Greatest Hits and then Duke Ellington Standards before moving back to Bach and then trying Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart Sonatas later in the year.  When I am in the States, I am going to buy some more Blues and Jazz standards, perhaps Tower of Power song book, Gershwin song classics and rent a piano. We found a place in the Medford, Oregon Rogue Valley Mall that rents pianos for 25 dollars a month. Perhaps I might take lessons.  I will also buy some music software and resume writing music. Besides daily playing, I am going to take some music theory classes online and learn how to play jazz and blues piano.

Finally, got the hang of mordants, turns, and trills. and finally can play at  near normal speed, rather than playing it real slowly, stumbling through the music.  I have continued the strategy of analyzing the music before I play it, noting key signature changes. flats and sharps, repetition patterns, high and low registry keys, and figuring out the Key signature before I play.  I am going to add in listening to the music before I play it, that should help as well
