Progress on Piano Learning

Last Updated: 20-May-10

I started to learn piano since early November 2008, mainly following the 3-level Alfred's Basic Adult Piano Course. These days I focus on learning music theory instead of practicing 'aggressively'. Too busy with many things and no fixed spare time for practicing piano regularly.
