Paul Learns Piano — Week 1, Day 1

What could possibly go wrong?

Welcome to Day 1 of the adventure. The 70-year-old guy (that would be me) has decided to learn the piano again after 20 years… and I’m doing it live, one practice session at a time.

Here’s the gear lineup for this journey:

Starting with the two-octave Roli Piano M

Adding the Roli Airwave when it arrives

Transitioning to the full 49-key Roli Piano after that

Practicing daily with the Roli Learn app

Ecamm (because of course Ecamm is involved)

And probably a few choice words when my fingers forget what they’re supposed to do

The Roli Learn app tracks my progress and gives me a gold star for practicing every day. With my luck, if I miss a day, it’ll sit me down and have a “we need to talk” moment.

These first sessions will be short — around 10 to 15 minutes — because I don’t want you to suffer too much while I figure out which end of the keyboard is which. There may even be an appearance from Maestro, who will absolutely supervise and judge.

If you’re watching live, feel free to ask questions. If you’re brand new to Roli, learning piano, or just curious how a 70-year-old ends up rearranging his desk for a tiny keyboard, you’re in the right place.

Let’s see where this goes.
One key. One click. One gold star at a time.
