#1072177 - 12/06/05 12:46 PM MOYD: It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!
Cindysphinx 6000 Post Club Member Registered: 02/14/03 Posts: 6416 Loc: Washington D.C. Metro	OK, you adult piano players. It's time to get serious about daily practice. And you know what that means . . . MOYD! MOYD, for those who aren't well and truly sick of it by now, means "Master Of Your Domain." We stole it from Seinfeld, fair and square. It is a challenge/contest where we each pledge to get to the piano for some amount of practice every single day. MOYD participants keep up this daily practice as long as they can. Anyone who misses a day must come here and declare that they are "out" of MOYD. [edit:We will then move them to the bottom of the MOYD list along with the date they "fell off the bench," whereupon they can resume daily practice and hope to do better next time.] The details: 1. Participating in MOYD requires you to sit on the piano bench and play something at least once daily. That's it. There is no minimum amount of time required. Just get to the bench every day, it will become a habit, and good things will happen to your piano skills. 2. If you are away from home, you don't have to practice. 3. If you are sick, you don't have to practice. 4. If you are "out" because you miss a day, you come here and tell us the sad tale of woe that kept you from practicing. In the past, the reasons people failed to get to the piano usually boiled down to "I forgot." 5. MOYD starts January 1, 2006. So. Are ya in for 2006? I am! [edit: Oh yeah. I'm declaring Frank the 2005 MOYD winner unless someone else steps up and says they're still in for 2005.] _________________________ Vote For Cindy!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post...QvjrL_blog.html

It's all on the honor system. And if there's anything pianists have lots of, it is honor! $\:D$ _________________________ Vote For Cindy!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post...QvjrL_blog.html

Thanks to the minutes and MOYD competitions, my practice time is longer and more consistent overall. I won't miss 2006's MOYD for anything! _________________________ Started piano June 1999.

I usually get anywhere from 1 1/2-2hrs of practice in most days, sometimes a little bit longer when I get that extra energy. It will be harder when I'm working for the month of January - MOYD will help give me that extra push. Happy and Healthy 2006 to one and all. $\:\)$

So get out there on that piano bench and keep practicing! _________________________ Mason & Hamlin A -- 91997 My YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/pianomonica

Copper 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 06/17/05 Posts: 1010 Loc: Virginia	Four months down and still going. I would have bet that I'd miss a day by now. It's a good thing there is no minimum time, some days have seen some really short practice. This list really works. _________________________

Cindysphinx 6000 Post Club Member Registered: 02/14/03 Posts: 6416 Loc: Washington D.C. Metro	Me too! Four + months and counting. MOYD also gets me to the bench earlier in the day, as I'm afraid I'll forget if I wait until evening. That usually leads to twice as much practice. _________________________ Vote For Cindy!! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post...QvjrL_blog.html

ShiroKuro 2000 Post Club Member Registered: 12/26/04 Posts: 2963 Loc: not in Japan anymore	I am still in!! But less pleased with myself than I was before I checked this list. I thought I was out in March last year, but here it says April, which means I haven't gotten very far in beating last year's record. Ah well, I am hoping to beat lasy year's record by a long shot, so there's still time... _________________________ Started piano June 1999.

Monica K. Registered: 08/10/05 Posts: 16995 Loc: Lexington, Kentucky	I have to claim a travel exemption for next week. We're leaving tomorrow and won't get back until June 4th. I'm staying at a Westin, so I'm hoping it will (a) have a piano, that is (b) unlocked, and (c) hidden away in some deserted ballroom where I can play to my heart's content. I may not bring my computer with me, so I might have to go cold turkey on the forum, too, which is disheartening. But I did print out all 250+ pages of the Chang book to read, so I won't be completely piano-deprived. $;\)$ _________________________ Mason & Hamlin A -- 91997 My YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/pianomonica

Piano&Violin Full Member Registered: 04/06/06 Posts: 356 Loc: Frankfurt, Germany	Count me in, too. It's become much of a habit to practice daily, except the few times I'm travelling. It's more a matter that I may not manage to practice as much as I'd love to ...

Dorrie Full Member Registered: 12/09/05 Posts: 438	I did it - even brought a cheap keyboard with me on vacations when we travelled by car. I never got ill enough to take the medical exemption. Some days the practice was well, rather thin (think - what can I accomplish while the water boils for the pasta and then while the rotini cooks), but I think just getting to the piano every day means more practice, overall, rather than waiting for the perfect time.
