Following up on the post from a couple weeks back about making it through a 9-hour shift and still sitting down to play.
Here’s what stuck: I prop two hardcover books under my feet on the piano bench and run through scales for about 15 minutes before dinner instead of after. Shoes don’t feel as tight by 6:30 anymore.
Also just moved practice earlier in general, instead of waiting until I’m already wiped out at night and skipping it.
Still stuck on chapter 3 of that book though… one thing at a time.
