Mental practicing &#8211; without moving my fingers &#8211; is also useful. Even five minutes can be useful, when I do have access to a piano. But when I am home with no appointments, I get to go back to the basics. I play my scales, and take my time with slow practice, listening to each harmonic progression, voice leading and the long-held chords decaying. My breathing slows down, and my hearing becomes more attuned. I go back to appreciating the physical sensation of playing that I tend to take for granted in goal oriented practicing. It is precious to get to do this once in a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1194\" width=\"430\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image.png 433w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-416x624.png 416w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/image-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/><figcaption>This is a photo from 2010, when I was learning the Goldberg Variations for the first time. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I walked for two miles &#8211; it was a gorgeous day! I stopped by at the local, and picked out some books for my upcoming travels. I like flying because it forces me to take a break from my smartphone, and just sit\/think\/breath\/be. I read better on the road. I think that&#8217;s a bit ironic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been reading Jane Eyre from my last trip, for the very first time. I cannot believe what transportive power it&#8217;s had on me. I so identify with Jane&#8217;s resolve for independent thoughts. She is a phenomenal woman. I am also fascinated with how the lives of women in the upper class in the mid-nineteenth century was about contending with boredom and loneliness. And why is it that so many of the protagonists from this time period are orphans? It gives me a better insight into Chopin, Brahms, the Schumanns and the other nineteenth century composers and their music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I like to do on a day like today is to set a timer so that I can balance between the things I love to do. I tend to get so absorbed in whatever it is I am doing. So, I set my timer to twenty minutes, and I read for twenty, practice for twenty, and do my chores for twenty, and do that over and over and over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are always more emails to write. And also things come up in the day. Today, I went over to a nearby church to check out their pianos as a potential venue for recording sessions and future concert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unexpected projects and concert proposals come in the email, and all of the sudden, I am caught up in looking into those. My publicity photos from a shoot I did on my last day in Japan have been processed, after some back and forth about the selection, processing, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Standing-Smiling_original-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Standing-Smiling_original-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Standing-Smiling_original-scaled-416x624.jpg 416w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Standing-Smiling_original-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Standing-Smiling_original-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/musicalmakiko.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Standing-Smiling_original-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Navy blue is not my favorite dress color, especially against a black piano. <br>But for my &#8220;Piano Waterscapes&#8221; recital tour, I picked this one up.
