Remember quality over quanity...

So if you only practice for 10 mins today, but you focus on what you are doing, it is better than doing nothing all day.

P.S.
You look lovely before and after

Yes, thank you for all your comments ... LOL. I have realized that I need to adjust my concept of practising. Also, I have been consistently practising the same sections for awhile now, working those out. But, I think I need to change sections now

-- it's like I created a rut and I am having a difficult time getting out of it. I have to re-organize a bit and re-prioritize in what needs my attention regarding the music.

Today, though, I am confident that I will put my hands on the piano and that it will be quality practising, even if only for 10 minutes.

Thanks

Don't be confident, don't make plans, just do it

A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center

For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers.
