so...

I know I've been on a not-so-temporary hiatus from piano, but I think it's time I started again. I guess I'll still play some classical for technique and stuff, but it's been a long time since I realized that I don't want to be some concert pianist with some orchestra or something. Ever since I was introduced to indie music I've felt that writing that sort of thing would be much more interesting. There's only so much you can express with a pair of hands and a score.

I know I can't just jump into composition and be awesome, so I'll start learning some theory, now that I might actually have some free time, and keep up my piano technique in the meantime. I've also got Nick's electric guitar, which has been sitting on a shelf in my closet, so I might as well mess around with that. I guess no one should actually expect much, since I don't know far this is going to go, but I've always felt weak with theory and sight reading, which are both pretty important, so learning some of that can't hurt at all. And if it turns out that I'm decent at composition -however one becomes decent at composition, probably from experience- hey, even better.

But basically I think the important thing is to learn a few key concepts, such as different chords and shit and going with it. Just reading information isn't going to help, so I'm going to start having fun with music.
