Piano instrumental: The Battle of N...
Star this Commitment
brian423 commits to:
learning to play "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmie Driftwood, sung by Johnny Horton et al.) as a piano instrumental in time for Independence Day weekend 2011—as skillfully as possible, at a suitable tempo, memorized so that I don't have to read the notes.
No more reports due

| POINT OF CLARIFICATION: Although the contract lasted only 21 days, my current level of proficiency at this tune reflects more than 21 days' worth of intermittent practice. When I made the contract on June 10, I had already dabbled with "The Battle of New Orleans" for a few weeks. | |

| For the first two or three days after making this commitment, I wondered if I would regret it. Then I saw some remarkably fast progress in bringing up the metronome setting. Although I'm still uncertain how smoothly and quickly I'll be able to play by July, I have stopped worrying about failure. | |
