I miss my piano students. I’ve no idea when I’ll be able to open
my studio again. The other day one of them asked what she should be doing while
waiting for her next lesson. Well, practice, obviously. Work on the songs I
last assigned. Run through scales and other exercises. Revisit old favorites so
they don’t become stale. Peek ahead, just a bit, to polish sight-reading
skills. But there’s so much more I wanted to say: Bathe and get dressed every
day, down to your shoes, even if you’ve nowhere to go. Brush your hair, even if no one will see it. Open your curtains and blinds, even though it makes your screens harder
to see (that’s sort of the point). Take a walk and notice nature. Read a good
book. Read five. Give yourself a manipedi. Ask Mom if she needs help with
anything. Write Grandma a letter. Remind yourself that you’re amazing and you
can get through this.
