I have too many musical things I’d like to do.
I want to, in no particular order:
Learn how to play lead sheets better on piano
Start taking singing lessons again
Get my accordion fixed (the strap broke) and take at least a lesson or two to point me in the right direction
Learn to play the fiddle
Play in a band with Sam
Write some songs
Write some more piano covers
Just PLAY piano more
Sing more
Generally improve my musicianship
So far this year, in the spirit of my “Strengthen Foundations” resolution, I’ve been singing a lot more. I used to sing at least once a week at Countermeasure rehearsal, but not much in between that. These days I sing most days, even if only while walking to/from work. I think it’s really paying off, too - my voice feels stronger/more flexible/better than it has in awhile.
Sam and I have been playing together a lot more, too. We’ll pull up chords and lyrics for a song and he’ll play guitar or bass or ukulele and sing, and I’ll play ukulele or piano and sing. It’s good practice (and fun!) but we both have things we want to get better at.
Realistically, I may make progress on a few of these, but there’s never enough time. Oh well. As long as I’m improving, that’s good enough!
