Neighbor Cindy corrected me in the kindest possible way, but I jumped to the wrong conclusion. She is not mentally defective like I am, being unable to talk and cook at the same time. Shortness of breath limits her, not lack of brain power. She can’t talk if she walks too fast. We will be kindred spirits in that way, because I couldn’t talk either if I went faster than a snail.
I have my brother to thank for amplification about doing things ahead of time or fast. He reminded me that I practiced the piano in double time, something he wouldn’t have remembered if Mother hadn’t laughed about it through the years. My piano teacher wrote a list of pieces for me to practice before my next lesson. Beside each, she noted the number of times I should play it every day. I took that literally and never shirked on the repeats, but I played every piece as fast as I possibly could. Bob said I did an hour’s practice in 30 minutes. Guilty as charged!!

Like playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order saves a lot of time too. Huge Hugs

Nothing wrong with saving time! If you can play something in double time you can for sure play it as written.

I subjected my parents to playing one song over and over again on the accordion. We had to learn one new song per week. I’m sure they appreciated it when we had a Christmas recital and had to learn more than one song so they had a little variety. 🙂
