Old bird plays piano


I've taken up learning the piano. 

Unfortunately though with the children's music lessons taking up any free money we have, I've had to resort to learning online.  But actually it's not so bad!

We have downloaded the Yousician app on the iPad and so far so good! With the free version you are limited to about half an hour learning time each day but for a beginner that's all you'd really want anyway.

On the rare occasion I am on my own I have started following the piano lessons, so I prop the iPad up where the books go and it can pick up the sound of your playing.
What's great is you can chose the 'pop route' and play along to songs or chose the 'classical route' and learn sheet music. 
It's so easy to follow for an oldie like me that hasn't played since school, I actually feel like I am making progress.


What's great too is Kpops is using it to practice guitar, so I am following it with her for some Mummy/Daughter time, I'm pretty sure I'll be left behind soon - I'd forgotten how hard it is to learn the guitar and I've had to file my nails down now I have fat mumma fingers and not the slender hands I had as a teenager haha

The Yousician app also has a tuner section so Kpops has taken the very important role of chief tuner making us both feel rather professional!

Never mind keeping up with the Joneses, keeping up with the children is hard enough but the Yousician app is a fantastic way to attempt it!

Just need MrH to play the drums and we'll be in full swing 😆
