Hi! Please add me to the 2012 MOYD!
Like Tinman1943, I've have been practicing but didn't find the extra time to add the new icon to my sig. Thanks MaryBee for the great art.
Being accountable to this group has also made a big difference in my playing, so thanks to all, but especially Cas. Really appreciate you taking on the job again.

I need to go on the excused list starting on Saturday. I am going to the US to visit family and set up everything to import my horse and dog to Switzerland. My dog has been staying with my Mom until we found a suitable place, and my horse has been with a friend. I can't wait to see them! I will be back on Jan 30.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.  Glad you made the best of it though. Where did you travel to here in Canuckville?

Ottawa is very beautiful. This winter is extremely mild for us so very luck there. Glad you were with family.  Bet you can't wait to get back to practicing!

i'm still pure as of jan 11. i also start lessons tomorrow evening so hope to stay regular. just hope i don't stress out too much. in the past i did some lessons and always kind of freak out with the commitment of regular lessons. need to change my mental attitude this time. i had a few lessons with this teacher several years ago and i believe she is a very very good teacher and easy to work with.

The list is caught up. Please let me know if I've got it right. I wasn't certain if some of the recent sign-ups have been playing since Jan 1 or are late starts.
Hi Casinitaly- not that it matters, but I have been playing since the 1st, and the past two years on MOYD. Could I be put on the Excused list for the work trip that I missed? Otherwise, feel free to leave me on the late addition. I just hadn't logged on to PianoWorld in a while and missed the "end of year" even though I've kept the playing up. Thanks for keeping this tradition alive! I know it's a lot of work to moderate. It really helps to motivate for practice on some days!

Sometimes it isn't clear to me when people say "sign me up" if they mean "as of today" or "I've been playing since the first". I have no problem with people nudging me if I make a mistake or misinterpret! I'll move you to excused!

How's everyone doing?
So far no problems for me making time to practice, I've averaged 4 hours a day, thanks to my shift work pattern. I get plenty of time home alone with no distractions. Just started lessons, new book to work from so I'm fully motivated and have a road map.
Hope you're all doing good,
Neil.

I'm having less issues practicing now than I did at the beginning! I'm getting at least an hour a day at the keyboard (sometimes much more.) Knowing that I have to answer for my time here, keeps me pushing for time at the keys!

I've only clocked about an hour a day. If it's a good quality hour, that can be fine. I usually play until I've made adequate progress on everything I'm working on, which usually works out to at least an hour and a half or two hours. But the other day I sat down, went through everything, worked on the problem spots, and felt like I'd done well, and, lo and behold, it only took an hour. I've been told that even 15 minutes a day is good, better than skipping several days and then having one marathon session. So here'a big HOORAY for all MOYDers.

My condolences as well. I had a family funeral this past weekend also, although it was local.
@ Neil: Four hours? Insanely jealous. Want to trade jobs?
MOYD going along swimmingly here. Why didn't I do this last year?

I'm panicking about a couple of upcoming business trips. Not just because of MOYD, but because I don't want to miss 2 weeks of practice in March. I found a piano shop near my hotel in Chicago--it's a short jog away. I could try to arrange to practice there at least a couple of times the week I'm in Chicago. I thought of asking the hotel about a piano, too, but if they have one it's probably in a public space. Maybe I should just bring a theory book to read, or buy an iPad and get that sight reading app everyone is on about.

The shop idea is a great one - you may even find that the owner is a PW member Ask at the hotel too - sometimes they have pianos in suites or in "penthouse" lounges, not necessarily in very public places. and of course the alternatives of reading up on theory or using your iPad for sight reading are also good ideas. (just not quite as much fun! ) Good luck!

I have had extremely good luck this way when travelling, as both types of institutions have pianos that are typically sitting idle and abandoned in the evening. Best to call ahead and get permission, but I've also had luck just showing up and speaking with the janitor. Actually, I've never been turned away.
