Process Journal #2

I actually worked on my personal project on Tuesday, 9.18.2012, but I never had time to write about what I did. So that is what I'm going to do now!

On Tuesday I decided to watch tutorial videos on how to use MuseScore. MuseScore has tutorial videos on their website, which go through the different steps on how to create a musical score. I learned how to add notes into the score more quickly and effectively, and also how to format the score so that it looks organized.

I also listened to various piano songs to try to get some ideas for melodies that I might want to include in my composition. My favorite pianist on the web that I always listen to is Kyle Landry: http://kylelandry.com. I've been listening to him for a few years now, and he's inspired me to try my best with piano. He does a lot of compositions, which he posts to his YouTube channel. My goal is to be able to freely play improvisations on piano like he does, but that's definitely going to take a lot of work.

Sadly I've  hardly had any time to work on my project, or even practice piano general. I've been extremely busy these past couple of weeks, so I hope that I'll be able to have time to play piano again soon.
