Here's a promise to myself: I have been scared to look for a job as a pianist (so obviously I now don't have one).

Here's what I'll do: when I've practiced at least one hour a day for three weeks straight, six days a week, then it'll be okay for me to look for that kind of job. Whenever I get there.

I do need to be prepared, and I need to work on an audition piece in case I'm asked to play for a potential employer. It should be something that will exhibit lots of skills, but nothing special for accompanying, because I can't show skills in that area without someone to play with.

For now, I need to just try and practice every day, and get something learned on Teddy's violin concerto, especially the ending. Also now, I need to get a regular day-job that will give me time to exercise, study, and practice, besides a job in piano.
