I forget, until I stop for a while and then start again, how much I enjoy playing piano. Piano. Not synthesizers, or keyboards, but piano. I also forget how different it is to actually read music than just make stuff up. (Both valuable.)

There are some interesting similarities in my head to yoga.

I could delve a little more into that sentiment, but, at the risk of boring you with something uncomfortably close to a hippie diatribe on mind/body connection, I'll just say I'm going to try to do a little of both every day. I'd like to get what classical chops I used to have back, and try to discipline myself more than my well-meaning teacher ever did. (I loved my teacher, and still do, but realized too late that she really only taught kids; by the time I got to the point where I was thinking about it, I was woefully unprepared to consider piano as my primary instrument in college.)

Anyway, to that end, I'm going to try to work my way through the WTC. I have no idea how it will go, or how far I'll get, but if you want to work on your chops, nothing will get you there like Bach.
