Fireflies

   I just wanted to say how impossible this song was. ASFHGSJKHGSGHL this song is IMPOSSIBLE to play. Each of the notes take at least a minute for me to figure out and make sure that I'm on the right note since the key jumps from white keys to black keys, and I forget how the melody of the song actually goes sometimes, so then I get lost and have to start over when I'm trying to piece out the song from what I've already played. I literally spent an entire hour doing this, and then later when I came back to the piece, there was absolutely not improvement at all, or at least not enough improvement for me to stay. The version from which I am learning is thirteen pages long (four lines per page, with only one line on the last page). Right now, I can't get past the fourth page without getting mad at myself for not being able to play it right. I've worked with this song so slowly that I think I've grown to hate it and like it at the same time. Even more, these mixed emotions have been making me really frustrated. I'll be really excited and inspired to play piano, and then I'll leave dejected and upset by the fact that I recognize that I can't play it correctly. Honestly, now that I'm writing this, I feel really ashamed that I gave up, but I'll probably continue to do so even without noticing it.
