Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum MOYD 2013

It's here! It's here! Let the bells ring out, let the banners fly! It's sign up time for MOYD (Master of Your Domain) 2013. Join in - play every day - and see what a great difference it will make to your piano skills!

MOYD is a personal challenge where you commit to playing the piano for some amount of time every single day. It might be a few hours, it might be a few minutes - it doesn't matter. If you miss a day you must come here and say so.

Please report AFTER the fact. We only need to know when you DID miss playing - not that you "might not be able to play".

2013 will be the 9th year of MOYD on ABF.


MOYD RULES

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. Five minutes counts... but more is better. Simply get to the piano every day, let it become a habit, and see what good things happen to your piano skills.

2. If you are away from home (for business, or for personal reasons) , you don't have to practice/play. You go to the 'Excused list".

3. If you are sick, you don't have to practice/play. You go to the 'Excused list".

4. If you are at home, and you are not sick and you miss a day, you have to come here and tell us the sad story of what kept you from playing. Then you go to the "Back on the Wagon list".

5. You may start late - however no new participants are accepted after September 30th.


6. Those who have reported being away, being sick, falling off and getting back on, or who sign up date have the right to put the MOYD 2013 badge in their signatures on 31 December 2013.

I get to sign up second.

I joined PW too late for the 2012 MOYD. Count me in this year!

Please sign me up.

Please sign me up! I can't wait to start the new year on the piano. And I will master my domain.

I'm in and will add my 2012 badge (2nd class) as soon as I've finished the year. I'm starting to feel confident about it, though.

Sign me up for 2013

Count me in Casi, it's pretty much a habit already barring illness. No badge for me this year for 2012 though too new here.

As you can see the add a badge process did not work for me. There was no "add an image". What do I need to do please.

Hi Wisebuff,

here is what you have with the troublesome part higlighted in red at the beginning and end of your text:

what it should be is what I have in GREEN - but after bot of the [ there is a space you need to remove.

Technically you shouldn't be adding it yet (just kidding, I think you're a pretty safe bet
Cheers,
Cheryl

Please sign me up for 2013, Cheryl.

And THANK YOU MaryBee for my new badge. I'll wait till New Years to add it.

Sign me up for my third year!

I can't stop now. Add me to the list also please.

LOL. You're right...I haven't made it through the whole year yet. I'll wait. I've printed the instruction you gave. I've been practicing all morning. I want to play Wild Rider at least a half speed (still pretty fast)

I'm in! Thanks!

Sign me up again! Thanks! And thanks to you MaryBee for our Badges.

Count me in! Thanks again Cas for running another year!

I'm leaving my badge in.. took me five minutes to get the darn thing to work! LOL

I'm in for 2013. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Sign me up. I aspire to be as dedicated as you all!

Hello!
Reading the forums for one year, but registered less then one hour ago to sign for the MOYD 2013.
Work and family = no time to practise, so I need extra motivation!
