To continue my genius hour, I think I have accomplished lots. I’ve learned the basics already, it took me a while and a lot of practice some of the basics I had to learn were the scales, chords,finger placements and letter naming. My sister who is in grade six piano has helped me a lot, everyday I’m at the piano practicing for at least half an hour. I’ve completed almost a full page of music but playing at my own pace (which is very slowly), even though i have three more pages of music to go through.

Now I'm going to think about videotaping my progress in the last three or four weeks. I was thinking about picking one classical song that I’ve always wanted to play. I'm going to think about starting my video taping maybe playing Fur Elise.



 
For my genius hour I chose this subject; learn how to play the piano. I thought of this because my sibling plays and I never really got the chance to learn. I’ve always wanted to play the piano because I think piano is a very beautiful instrument. So far this week I’ve been looking up videos on YouTube like How to play piano: The basics, Piano Lesson #1. This video kind of helped because it talks about notes and chords which are really important. Also ever since I chose my project I have been practicing every day for half an hour. I’m trying to build up my skill to play a very well-known classical song “Fur Elise” or I might choose another song. After this experience I hope to gain skill and hopefully later on I’ll continue to learn.by practicing really hard every day my hands maneuver better and quicker. My plan next is to maybe look up more videos or have my sister help me on a song that I’m trying to start on. But I’m still going to have to learn more basic steps to help me with the song.
