Play that tune

I have been alternating composing with a fun exercise - learn to play the piano part of a pop-ish song from a recording.

My choice has been "The Flowers" by Regina Spektor. It's pretty fun. Intricate enough to be challenging and still easy enough for me to get the gist in a couple days.

I know there are some people who have the gift of picking up a tune off a recording in one or two tries. I am definitely NOT one of those people (yet, hee hee), but it's been pretty fun. The beginning was frustrating because I couldn't figure out what she was doing (which now seems silly that I've got it down).

I don't know if I'll keep doing this. We'll see if I am inspired once more (suggestions welcome :) ).

Peace,
