As I have been sharing the past couple of weeks; I have been seriously making music a priority again. My fingers are a bit nimbler due to typing, but the piano and the clarinet uses more finesse. Getting back into musical shape requires determination, practice, fun and accountability.
Handel is my special book of challenging piano pieces I enjoy for the challenge and the intriguing sounds of the finished and honed harmonies. I still find it hard to not ad lib in certain places, but I guess it makes them more my own. Recording is somewhat of a nightmare for me. Finding a time where I am ready for a performance and when I can have the house to myself. Those conditions rarely line up together well.
Tonight was also really refreshing a musical friend and I began rehearsing a song after nearly 6 months of talking about doing this. I’m super excited, because hearing what I heard tonight, I know it will be a fun and amazing performance. I have needed this musical burst of energy to be creative again and feel that other part of me that God purposefully gave me.
