Hello there. Today Dori and I are launching the ‘Creative Maze’ – you know, that monster I hinted at yesterday that has gobbled up our alternate Friday challenge posts? This ‘monster’ evolved through one of our many Skype meets, where we were discussing our challenges and the way we deal with and present them to you. We felt you might get bored if our individual challenges didn’t show any major progress, and that updating every two weeks didn’t allow enough time for either of us to make any great leaps forward. Now, this isn’t a cop-out and we’re not shutting down our challenges. We’re just going to extend the time between our challenge posts, and we think it will be better to update you with our piano/knitting progress in a joint post once a month on the last Friday of the month from now on. You can see we’ve kicked this off today with an update from both of us.
I’ve uploaded two new videos to our Labyrinthus XXI YouTube channel – one of me playing a simple tune (but one I couldn’t have played before this challenge), and one of my daughter playing ‘Arriety’s song’, a really pretty piece of music. She’s only been playing for three years, and I hope I can learn to play as well as she does. You can watch the embedded videos at the end of this post, or view through YouTube, if you like.
