I thought if you did all your theory pencil work AT the piano, it counted. PLUS, it usually HELPS to be there so you can ding out those progessions, chords or scales you just figured out. Has there already been a ruling on this? I may have missed the memo. Bob

If you sit down at the piano with a theory book or method book, reaching out and touching the keys from time to time, that counts!
Bob, I'm with you. It's hard to study theory when you aren't near a piano and can't try it all out.

My spring break falls during the last week of March. WATCH OUT, Dudes! 6 straight days of Teachum at the piano! Should be worth at least a couple thousand minutes!
You will be 10 years older, ten years from now, no matter what you do - so go for it!

Gulp! Just went and looked at the numbers. The Dudes are within 1 team member and 2000 minute of us. We better hustle. Do The Hustle!!!!

We Dudes are getting our butts kicked. Maybe if we gave up an hour's sleep and one meal a day, practicing instead...

Wootness is practicing right now, and I told him how pleased I was that he was working on his new piece in chunks, rather than playing through the whole thing sliding over errors, and then going back and playing through the whole thing again. He told me that a: he's learning it better this way, and b: it takes more time, which is great for the Team Dude practice log totals. At which point I had to strangle him. only in jest, honest. *looks around nervously*

Heh, heh.
I notice my daughter practicing better also. Last night was 56 minutes. Whoa! She did a new section of her piece HS, then slowly combined them for HT.
Her normal routine would be to sit down, play her old favorites a few times, play the easy parts of her new piece at the speed of light, and then go play with the dog.
She's also suddenly willing to do duets with me. Hmmmm.

No matter how nasty it might get in the Piano Forum, over here in the AB it's all about good practice habits and family togetherness

Let me just say - iamcanadian rocks. Notice he's only been logging his time since the 4th.
He'll pass apple and cathy in no time. Then we'll get him to set his sights on teachum.
If you don't talk to your children about equal temperment, who will?
