Does it have to be a choice right now between being a concert pianist and not playing at all ? Would you not still want to enjoy playing the piano anyway, in whatever capacity you could ?
ENGLISH POLICE ALERT!
Hello all you pianists out there,To give you some context, I am a nineteen year old piano student who has been playing since the age of five. I left the piano temporarily around the age of seven, but returned with a passion at ten, practicing up to eight hours a day. My practicing slowed significantly when junior high arrived, but I continued to practice all through junior high and high school. Just this last year I completed the California Certificate of Merit exam for Advanced Level, performing a repertoire of five memorized pieces that included the Grave from Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique, Bach's Fugue in C Minor, and Debussy's La Plue Que Lente. A year and a half ago, I began to suffer from acute wrist and arm pain. I discovered that my playing displayed excessive tension and that I would need to learn how to let my hands and arms "breathe" to mitigate the pain and improve my phrasing. Part of this problem may have arisen from long hours of impulsive solo improvisation.My condition is improving, but I'm nervous about my ability to progress should I return to the piano (which I really want to do!). I will have to relearn key aspects of my technique, and I am afraid that it might be too late to really master the subtle aspects of playing that I failed to learn at a young age. Is it too late for me? I'm aspiring to become a concert pianist of the highest caliber possible and would be willing to practice as much as possible after my injuries have healed.
Do you really type 200 wpm? I doubt that. since most people average 40 and max out around 120.
It is that slow. Touch typing requires a keyboard. Most youngons use their cell phones and don't read books anymore. Also, writing instruction in schools is virtually non-existent in America, which is why so many college professors now complain that their students are submitting crap. One professor I had told us of an idiot who turned in a paper written in txt spch. R U Kddng? No, he ws srs.Source:https://www.learn2type.com/typingtest/typingspeed.cfm
