Muscle Memory

I am always amazed (though it happens so frequently I really shouldn't be) at how I can sit down at my keyboard for the first time in months and three songs come out! I'm sure there are scientific studies about how muscle memory works, but it's quite the feat. I mean, I haven't played these songs or touched the same keys in the same combination since the middle of winter and now something lets my hands fly around and suddenly there are three actual melodies in the air. I love it.

I got so excited about it that I revisited my days of piano lessons and broke out some of my sheet music to take advantage of my momentum, and what do you know? I busted through the whole of Piano - Grade One and moved on to relearning "Part of Your World." Don't give me that look, it's a great song and you all wish you could play and sing it at the same time! And now I'm progressing into Wicked. Lord save us all from Kelly's musical triumphs.
