Well, this being the first post, I had better start with the basics. I love music(k). I like especially piano music, and classical is the ultimate genre as far as I am concerned. Recently I've been practicing 12 Variations by Mozart, Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky0Korsakoff, and trying Etude in C# minor by Chopin. Now, Etude is an extremely difficult song, and I think it's above my expertise level right now, which is why I'm working on the other two. I think I can get 12 Variations down in about a month if I work on it, and Flight memorized, if not up to speed in the same time.
I've really been picking up my practice time in the past week; I'm up to about 3 hours a day. My friend's mother (an accomplished pianist) said that when you end up spending that much time playing piano, you skills increase more than you thought they could. I'm planning on becoming a virtuoso (someday), so I guess I'd better keep it up.
I got the music I'm working on from Piano Sheet Music - pianostreet.com. It's an awesome website. There are some song's you can download with a silver (Free) membership, but the full collection is available with the Gold membership. I've got gold, and so new music is within my grasp.
That's not all I do though... I've been trying to learn Japanese, too. There are some very good resources available online such as 日本語資源 - Nihongoresources.com. This site has an excellent series of lessons, which I am going through and would recommend to anyone interested in learning Japanese.
