This week I’ve officially been learning piano for 4 years. Started at 25 years old. Did 2 years of classical and then switched to jazz lessons which I’ve been in for 2 years now and continue taking. I have been taking private lessons this entire time.

First clip is “Little Brown Jug” from Alfred Basic Adult Level 1. Second clip is the jazz standard Donna Lee - I’m not too happy with my performance (phrasing, accenting, comping etc) cause I was pushing the tempo way faster than I’m comfortable with just to get this video lol.

It’s been a fun journey and it keeps going! I gig with a couple of local funk/pop/r&b bands now which is great experience.

Definitely deleting this in a couple hours cause putting myself out here like this is a bit too vulnerable for me, but I was getting reflective while bored at work and wanted to share lol.

EDIT: wow thanks for all the kind comments everyone! I guess I’ll keep this up for a bit.…
