Practice Tip: Playing along with a CD
I recently ordered Bleach the Best CD through amazon.com. A courier dropped it off during this morning's piano lessons. As soon as I ushered my day students out the door, I set the CD to Houki Boshi- the song I'm doing for the APTA Festival.

As soon as I ushered my day students out the door, I set the CD to Houki Boshi- the song I'm doing for the APTA Festival and played along with it on the piano. This is a surefire way to force a musician to keep going no matter what as the CD doesn't stop for you to correct notes.It was an energizing experience, mainly because the song is supposed to be played at approximately 162 quarter notes per minute.
