Week 4, how is it already week 4?! This week has definitely been challenging for me, I have been in an unmotivated slump and have been doing the bare minimum of completing my assignments. COVID-19 has really put a wedge between my life and I am still trying to adapt to online learning. This week I went back to basics for learning the piano, I decided to try out a new app named flowkey, it’s been a really good app so far and has brought me back to learning how to play with both hands beginner style. Without having to worry about trying to play a song, it’s really helped me grasp the concepts behind piano and how to improve my skills. The app has so many features and it's FREE. They do have a premium version of the app and it’s $175 a year to subscribe. If I was going to be playing piano the rest of my life I definitely would pay for the full service. As you begin one of the courses it asks to connect to your microphone and hears for when you play a certain key on the piano. As you progress through the course they teach you new skills and make you practice moving your hands in different directions at the same time. They slowly go through one hand at a time and eventually make you do both hands at the same time. With this new app in my learning project I can definitely see myself prospering and meeting my goal!

COVID has definitely put a stump in my learning as well, it is so difficult to get the motivation to push through! It looks like you've found a great resource to use though! I can't imagine how complicated learning to play the piano really is, however, having an app that helps you to focus on just keys rather then a song must help tons! I'm excited to see where you get to next week!

I completely understand where you are coming from regarding the Covid -19 slump. Sometimes we just need to take a deep breath, re-focus and get motivated again. I am glad you found an app to help you. Learning to play piano is something I have always wanted to do as well. Can't wait to see where your learning journey takes you!
