Two years ago I got a Korg SV-2 to support learning how to play the piano.
at 50+ picking this up is harder than as an 10 year old, perhaps.
so…

A false start with an app,
a proper restart with a weekly tutor at my place
a lot of practice on music from Dirk Maassen
and baby steps in composing my own melody.

This song has a meandering melody,
choosing from chord progressions and varying tonality
unusual perhaps,
as only my ears and hands,
guidance from my tutor
and mostly trial and error
got me to this result.

It’s like a musical score
of how I felt for a while
a musical self portrait if you like
of emotions that have been bubbling and burning.

Enjoy.
