piano fitness is self-discovery.  the mind looks and views the self, as always, different from the last look.  the body listens and hears the sound. the mind/body feels music in self-discovery.

piano fitness is forward thinking.  knowing whats coming and planning ahead.

piano fitness is watching what where when.  training my mind's eye to watch the 1st and 2nd fingers with lateral triceps as the continual focus.

piano fitness is learning.  1st recorded rehearsal is somewhat shaky-practice focusing forward. all in all not too bad.  good practice to keep going through the mistakes.  practice quick recovery.

piano fitness observes changes.  the differences in feeling/listening and letting go.

piano fitness is awareness.  awareness of the smallest details in the big picture.  impressionism!  continued awareness of the freefalling arms, with a precise angle of the thumbs releases the 2nd arms/fingers.  lateral awareness of inner triceps.  awareness of letting go!  opposite of the old 3 dog night hit-hard to be easy....
